Context of Luke 22:68

66At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, met together. They led Jesus into their Sanhedrin and said, 67“If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe. And if I ask you a question, you will not answer. 69But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” 70So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”

He owns himself to be the Son of God, though he knew he should suffer for it. Upon this they ground his condemnation. Their eyes being blinded, they rush on.
