Mark 14:63 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:63

Then the high priest rent his clothes
As was usual upon hearing blasphemy; which he now supposed the case, or at least would have it so thought:

and saith, what need we any further witnesses?
or trouble ourselves to see for any more, or to hear and take the depositions of any others; (See Gill on Matthew 26:65).
