68 and if I question you, you will not answer.

Luke 22:68 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:68

And if I also ask you
Or enter into a discourse on this subject, and require an answer to the arguments, proving me to be the Messiah, or desire to know what objections can be made thereunto:

you will not answer me:
fairly and directly, or go into a serious and sober conversation on this head: nor let me "go"; or dismiss me, though I should appear to be the Messiah, or ever so free from the charge of blasphemy and sedition; you are resolved, right or wrong, to detain me in bonds, and take away my life; so that it signifies nothing saying any thing to you.

66 When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, gathered together, and they brought him to their council.

67 They said, "If you are the Messiah, tell us." He replied, "If I tell you, you will not believe;

68 and if I question you, you will not answer.

69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."

70 All of them asked, "Are you, then, the Son of God?" He said to them, "You say that I am."
