Lucas 22:67 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:67

Saying, art thou the Christ
The Messiah, promised and prophesied of by Moses, and all the prophets, and long expected by us: "tell us". The Ethiopic version adds, openly; tell us frankly, freely, plainly, as in ( John 10:24 ) .

And he said unto them, if I tell you, you will not believe.
The Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions read, "will not believe me"; neither what he said, nor that he was the Messiah; they were determined not to believe in him, and receive him as such; their unbelief was wilful, obstinate, and invincible: they were proof against all arguments, evidence, and demonstration itself.

Lucas 22:67 In-Context

65 E, blasfemando, diziam muitas outras coisas contra ele.

66 Logo que amanheceu reuniu-se a assembléia dos anciãos do povo, tanto os principais sacerdotes como os escribas, e o conduziam ao sinédrio deles, onde lhe disseram:

67 Se tu és o Cristo, dize-no-lo. Replicou-lhes ele: Se eu vo-lo disser, não o crereis;

68 e se eu vos interrogar, de modo algum me respondereis.

69 Mas desde agora estará assentado o Filho do homem � mão direita do poder de Deus.
