Luke 22:68

68 and if I ask you a question, 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.

Luke 22:68 In-Context

66 When day came, the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law met together, and Jesus was brought before the Council.

67 "Tell us," they said, "are you the Messiah?" He answered, "If I tell you, you will not believe me;

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

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

70 They all said, "Are you, then, the Son of God?" He answered them, "You say that I am."
