Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 22:70

And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.The phrasing of the question, "Art thou then the Son of God?" is proof that the Sanhedrin understood the meaning of Jesus' reply.Ye say that I am ... has the weight of "Yes, at last you have seen the point of what I am saying!" It is a gross error to hail these words as anything except the most positive affirmation of Jesus that he was, is and ever will be, the Son of God, "The expression is equivalent to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 22:66-71

3. Jesus’ trial before the Sanhedrin 22:66-71 (cf. Matthew 27:1; Mark 15:1a)Luke is the only Gospel writer who gave us an account of what happened at this official meeting of the Sanhedrin. It followed informal interviews late at night by Annas and Caiaphas. This meeting took place very early on Friday morning, April 3, A.D. 33. [Note: Hoehner, p. 143.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 22:69-70

Jesus did not claim to be the Messiah here, but He did claim to be the Son of Man. He referred to the discussion He had had with some of His accusers on Wednesday (Luke 20:41-44). Then Jesus had questioned them about the identity of David’s Son in Psalms 110:1. He had showed that David’s Son, the Messiah, was divine. Now Jesus referred to the same verse again and said that the Son of Man would sit at God’s right hand from then on. This was a claim of unique association with God that constituted... read more

(63-73) And the men that held Jesus . . .—See Notes on Matthew 26:59-68; Mark 14:55-65. The verbs “mocked” and “smote” are both in the tense that implies continued action. read more

(66-71) And as soon as it was day.—See Notes on Matthew 27:11-14; Mark 15:2-5. The special mention of the hour, though agreeing with what is implied in the other Gospels, is peculiar to St. Luke.The elders of the people.—Literally, the presbytery of the people. St. Luke uses here, and in Acts 22:5, the collective singular noun, instead of the masculine plural. St. Paul uses it of the assembly of the elders of the Church, in 1 Timothy 4:14. read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 22:70

(70) Ye say that I am.—The question, as asked by the whole company of priests and elders, is given only by St. Luke. It apparently followed, as a spontaneous cry of indignant horror, on the answer which had been made to the adjuration of the high priest. The answer is complete in itself; but it implies, as in the less ambiguous forms in St. Matthew and St. Mark, the confession that He actually was what they had asked Him. The “I am” has something of the same significance as in John 7:24-25;... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 22:1-71

Sacramental Thoughts Luke 22:15 It seems almost unjust to these words to speak them loudly. Oh, that we had the power to whisper into the most distant, ear without raising the voice at all! There are far-reaching whispers. The Holy Spirit may now take up our poor weakness and whisper to each listening soul this mournful but most thrilling text. We cannot get rid of the blood-shedding, because it was Jesus Himself who told us about the blood, and His own blood, and why it was shed, and for whom... read more
