Luke 22:68

68 And if I ask you, 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 council of the older leaders of the people, both the leading priests and the teachers of the law, came together and led Jesus to their highest court.

67 They said, "If you are the Christ, tell us." Jesus said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe me.

68 And if I ask you, you will not answer.

69 But from now on, the Son of Man will sit at the right hand of the powerful God."

70 They all said, "Then are you the Son of God?" Jesus said to them, "You say that I am."
