Mark 14:63 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:63

Then the high priest rent his clothes
As was usual upon hearing blasphemy; which he now supposed the case, or at least would have it so thought:

and saith, what need we any further witnesses?
or trouble ourselves to see for any more, or to hear and take the depositions of any others; (See Gill on Matthew 26:65).

Mark 14:63 In-Context

61 And he helde his peace and answered noothinge. Agayne the hyeste Preste axed him and sayde vnto him: Arte thou Christ the sonne of the blessed?

62 And Iesus sayde: I am. And ye shall se the sonne of man syt on the ryght honde of power and come in the cloudes of heven.

63 Then the hyest preste rent his cloothes and sayd: what nede we eny further of witnes?

64 Ye have herde the blasphemy what thinke ye? And they all gave sentence yt he was worthy of deeth.

65 And some begane to spit at him and to cover his face and to bete him with fistes and to saye vnto him arede vnto vs. And the servauntes boffeted him on the face.
