Mark 14:61 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:61

But he held his peace, and answered nothing
Knowing it would be to no purpose, and signifying hereby, that the things alleged against him were unworthy of an answer:

again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, art thou the
Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
The Vulgate Latin adds, "God": in Matthew it is "God" only, ( Matthew 26:63 ) . This is one of the names and epithets of God, with the Jews; nothing is more common in their writings, than this abbreviature, (hbqh) , which is, (awh Kwrb vwdqh) , "the holy blessed he"; who is blessed in himself, and the fountain of all blessedness to his creatures, and who is blessed and praised by angels and saints; (See Gill on Matthew 26:63).

62 And Jesus said unto him, I AM, and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God and coming in the clouds of the heaven.

63 Then the high priest rent his clothes and said, What need have we any more for witnesses?
