Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin

66 aAs soon as it was day, bthe elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, saying,  
67 a“If You are the Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will bby no means believe.  
68 And if I also ask you, you will by no means answer2 Me or let Me go.  
69 aHereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.”  
70 Then they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” So He said to them, a“You rightly say that I am.”  
71 aAnd they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.”

Luke 22:67

If thou art the Christ (Ei su ei o Xristov). The Messiah, they mean. The condition is the first class, assuming it to be true.

If I tell you (Ean umin eipw). Condition of the third class, undetermined, but with likelihood of being determined. This is the second appearance of Jesus before the Sanhedrin merely mentioned by Mark 15:1; Matthew 27:1 who give in detail the first appearance and trial. Luke merely gives this so-called ratification meeting after daybreak to give the appearance of legality to their vote of condemnation already taken (Mark 14:64; Matthew 26:66).

Ye will not believe (ou mh pisteushte). Double negative with the aorist subjunctive, strongest possible negative. So as to verse Luke 22:68.
