Matthew 26:65

Matthew 26:65

63 But ^aJesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, ^b“I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”

64 Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, ^ahereafter you will see the Son of Man ^bsitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

65 ^aThen the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His ^bblasphemy!

66 What do you think?” They answered and said, ^a“He is deserving of death.”

67 ^aThen they spat in His face and beat Him; and ^bothers struck Him with the palms of their hands,

68 saying, ^a“Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?”

John Wesley's Notes

<< Matthew 26:64

Matthew 26:66 >>

Then the high priest rent his clothes - Though the high priest was forbidden to rend his clothes (that is, his upper garment) in some cases where others were allowed to do it, Leviticus 21:10; yet in case of blasphemy or any public calamity, it was thought allowable. Caiaphas hereby expressed, in the most artful manner, his horror at hearing such grievous blasphemy.
