Luke 22:68

68 And if I ask you, you won't 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 In the morning the council of the people's leaders, the chief priests and the scribes, gathered together. They brought Jesus in front of their highest court and asked him,

67 "Tell us, are you the Messiah?" Jesus said to them, "If I tell you, you won't believe me.

68 And if I ask you, you won't answer.

69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be in the highest position in heaven."

70 Then all of them said, "So you're the Son of God?" Jesus answered them, "You're right to say that I am."
