Matthew 26:62

62 et surgens princeps sacerdotum ait illi nihil respondes ad ea quae isti adversum te testificantur

Matthew 26:62 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 26:62

And the high priest arose and said unto him
He rose up from his seat in great wrath and anger; partly being vexed, that they could get no other and better testimony; and partly because of Christ's contemptuous silence, giving no answer to the witnesses, as judging they deserved none; and which highly provoked the high priest, and therefore in passion said,

answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
Is it true or false, right or wrong? The Vulgate Latin renders it, "dost thou answer nothing to those things which these witness against thee?" To which agree the Arabic version, and Munster's Hebrew Gospel.

60 et non invenerunt cum multi falsi testes accessissent novissime autem venerunt duo falsi testes
61 et dixerunt hic dixit possum destruere templum Dei et post triduum aedificare illud
62 et surgens princeps sacerdotum ait illi nihil respondes ad ea quae isti adversum te testificantur
63 Iesus autem tacebat et princeps sacerdotum ait illi adiuro te per Deum vivum ut dicas nobis si tu es Christus Filius Dei
64 dicit illi Iesus tu dixisti verumtamen dico vobis amodo videbitis Filium hominis sedentem a dextris virtutis et venientem in nubibus caeli
