Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 14:61

But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and saith unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?Answered nothing ... Jesus did not need to reply. Everyone knew that no offense had been proved against Jesus, Caiaphas himself being painfully aware of this.Again the high priest asked him ... This is a reference to repeated questions regarding Christ's identity. In Mark's word "again," it is evident that more than one question and more than one reply... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 14:62

And Jesus, said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.When this writer was a boy 15 years of age, he received from his mother a copy of the New Testament as a birthday gift, and the thrill of this verse is remembered from that day. I read the New Testament through, but there was wonderment about the passages in Matthew where Jesus had said, "Thou hast said"; and then came the reading of this majestic reply and the flood... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 14:63

And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What further need have we of witnesses?This was quite an act on the part of Caiaphas; how noble he would have men suppose that he was; how outrageous it was to such a righteous one as he pretended to be that the exalted Christ should bear witness of the truth in his presence!Rent his clothes ... This was unlawful for the high priest to do. God had specifically commanded even Aaron and his sons:Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 14:64

Ye have heard the blasphemy, and what think ye? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death.Through his illegal and violent behavior in rending his garments, the sacred garments of the high priest, he had already announced the court's decision; and what he called for here was an assent to his self-proposed verdict. The conduct of Caiaphas in this scene dramatizes the claim of Christ as being equal to God. Skeptics who deny that Christ made such a claim are left without any explanation at... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 14:61

Mark 14:61. The Son of the Blessed?— This is a very sublime and emphatical method of expressing the happiness of God. It conveys such an ideaof the divine blessedness, that, comparatively speaking, there is none happy but he. Seethe note on Matthew 26:62-63. It is plain from the parallel passage, Luk 22:67 that the answer of our Saviour, set down by St. Mark as well as St. Matthew, is an answer only to this question, Art thou the Son of God? and not to that other, Art thou the Christ, or the... read more
