Mark 14:61

61 ὁ δὲ ἐσιώπα καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίνατο οὐδέν. πάλιν ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς ἐπηρώτα αὐτὸν καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ · Σὺ εἶ ὁ χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ εὐλογητοῦ;

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).

Mark 14:61 In-Context

59 καὶ οὐδὲ οὕτως ἴση ἦν ἡ μαρτυρία αὐτῶν.

60 καὶ ἀναστὰς ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς εἰς μέσον ἐπηρώτησεν τὸν Ἰησοῦν λέγων · Οὐκ ἀποκρίνῃ οὐδέν ; τί οὗτοί σου καταμαρτυροῦσιν;

61 ὁ δὲ ἐσιώπα καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίνατο οὐδέν. πάλιν ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς ἐπηρώτα αὐτὸν καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ · Σὺ εἶ ὁ χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ εὐλογητοῦ;

62 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν · Ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ ὄψεσθε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκ δεξιῶν καθήμενον τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ ἐρχόμενον μετὰ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.

63 ὁ δὲ ἀρχιερεὺς διαρρήξας τοὺς χιτῶνας αὐτοῦ λέγει · Τί ἔτι χρείαν ἔχομεν μαρτύρων;
