Context of Luke 22:67
65They also insulted him in many other ways. 66In the morning the council of the people’s leaders, the chief priests and the experts in Moses’ Teachings, gathered together. They brought Jesus in front of their highest court and asked him, “Tell us, are you the Messiah?” Jesus said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe me. 68And if I ask you, you won’t answer. 69But from now on, the Son of Man will be in the honored position—the one next to God the Father on the heavenly throne.”

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. Let us meditate on this amazing transaction…Read the comment
