Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 14:60-62

Mark 14:60-62. The high-priest stood up in the midst, &c. See notes on Matthew 26:62-64, where this paragraph is largely explained. Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed Here one of the peculiar attributes of the Deity is used to express the divine nature. Supreme happiness is properly considered as belonging to God: and as all comfort flows from him, suitable ascriptions of praise and glory are his due. But this form of speech was conformable to the ancient custom of the Jews,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 14:53-72

152. At the high priest’s house (Matthew 26:57-75; Mark 14:53-72; Luke 22:54-65; John 18:12-27)Annas and his son-in-law Caiaphas apparently lived in the same house. Annas had been the previous high priest and, though replaced by Caiaphas, was still well respected and influential. Jesus’ captors took him to Annas first, while Peter and John, who had followed at a distance, waited in the courtyard. By now it was well past midnight and into the early hours of the morning (John 18:12-18; Luke... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 14:60

And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?Up to this point, the conclave of Jesus' foes had nothing. No capital charge against the Lord could even be alleged, much less proved. It was a most frustrating night for the religious leaders. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 14:60

60. Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?—Clearly, they felt that their case had failed, and by this artful question the high priest hoped to get from His own mouth what they had in vain tried to obtain from their false and contradictory witnesses. But in this, too, they failed. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 14:60-61

Apparently Caiaphas decided to question Jesus hoping to get Him to incriminate Himself since he could not get two witnesses to agree against Jesus. Jesus did not need to respond to the high priest’s first question. No one had offered any real proof against Him."His [Jesus’] resolute silence loudly declared to the Sanhedrin His disdain for their lying efforts to establish a charge against Him." [Note: Hiebert, p. 371.] Then Caiaphas, trying a new strategy, asked if Jesus was the Messiah. "The... read more
