Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin
63But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.” 64“You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.” 65At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.…

You have said so
This phrase is a response from Jesus to the high priest's question about His identity as the Messiah. In Greek, "σὺ εἶπας" (su eipas) is an idiomatic expression that can be understood as an affirmation. Jesus uses this phrase to confirm the truth of the high priest's statement without directly saying "I am." This reflects Jesus' wisdom in navigating the legal and religious traps set before Him. Historically, this moment is pivotal as it leads to His crucifixion, fulfilling the prophecies about the suffering Messiah.

Jesus replied
The Greek word for "replied" is "ἀποκρίνομαι" (apokrinomai), which means to answer or respond. This indicates that Jesus is engaging directly with the high priest's question, showing His willingness to confront the religious authorities with truth. In the context of the Gospel, Jesus' reply is not just a simple answer but a profound declaration of His identity and mission.

But I say to all of you
Here, Jesus shifts from addressing the high priest individually to speaking to the entire Sanhedrin. The Greek phrase "λέγω ὑμῖν" (lego hymin) emphasizes the authority and universality of His message. This is a moment of divine revelation, where Jesus speaks not just to those present but to all of humanity, declaring His role in God's redemptive plan.

From now on
The phrase "ἀπ’ ἄρτι" (ap’ arti) signifies a transition point in time. Jesus is indicating a change in the divine timeline, where His identity and mission will be fully revealed. This marks the beginning of the fulfillment of His messianic role, as prophesied in the Old Testament.

you will see
The Greek verb "ὄψεσθε" (opsesthe) is in the future tense, indicating a prophetic vision. Jesus is foretelling a future event that will be witnessed by those present. This is a promise of revelation, where the truth of His divine nature will be made evident.

the Son of Man
This title, "ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου" (ho huios tou anthrōpou), is deeply rooted in Jewish apocalyptic literature, particularly in Daniel 7:13-14. It emphasizes both Jesus' humanity and His divine authority. By using this title, Jesus connects His earthly ministry with His heavenly authority, fulfilling the messianic expectations of the Jewish people.

sitting at the right hand
The imagery of sitting "ἐκ δεξιῶν" (ek dexiōn) signifies a position of power and authority. In ancient cultures, the right hand was a place of honor and strength. Jesus is declaring His exaltation and divine authority, seated at the right hand of God, as described in Psalm 110:1.

of the Mighty One
The term "δυνάμεως" (dynameōs) refers to power or might, often used to describe God's omnipotence. Jesus is associating Himself with the divine power of God, affirming His deity and the fulfillment of His role as the Messiah.

and coming on the clouds of heaven
This phrase, "ἐρχόμενον μετὰ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ" (erchomenon meta tōn nephelōn tou ouranou), is a direct reference to Daniel 7:13, where the Son of Man is depicted as coming with the clouds. In biblical symbolism, clouds often represent divine presence and glory. Jesus is prophesying His second coming, where He will return in glory and power, completing God's redemptive plan for humanity.

(64) Thou hast said.--The silence was broken as they expected. He was indeed what the words they had uttered implied. More than this, He was also the Son of Man of Daniel's vision (Daniel 7:13), the Head of an everlasting kingdom. No words in the whole Gospel records are more decisive against the views of those who would fain see in our Lord only a great moral teacher, like Socrates or Cakya Mouni. At the very crisis of His history, when denial would have saved His life. He asserts His claim to be much more than this, to be all that the most devout Christians have ever believed Him to be. At such a moment, when men stand face to face with seeming failure and with death, dreams and delusive claims for the most part melt away. Here claims that men have presumed to think of as delusive were strengthened and intensified, and reproduced as in the calmness of assured conviction.

The right hand of power.--The Greek article here can hardly be reproduced in English, but it is well to remember that our Lord speaks of "the power," that which belonged pre-eminently to the Eternal.

Verse 64. - Thou hast said; σὺ εϊπας (ver. 25); in St. Mark, ἐγώ εἰμι. This is a strong affirmative asseveration, and on Christ's lips carries with it the full meaning of the words used by Caiaphas, "I am the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One, God of God, of one substance with the Father." Nevertheless (πλὴν); i.e. in spite of your incredulity. But there is no direct opposition intended between the previous and the following statements; so πλὴν would be better translated, but moreover, or what is more. Hereafter; ἄπαρτι. From this moment, beginning from now, from my Passion, my triumph and my reign are inaugurated. Shall ye see. Ye, the representatives of Israel, shall see the events about to be consummated, the preludes of the great assize, and the coming of Messiah's kingdom. The Son of man. God and yet man; man now in weakness and humility, about to display and give incontestable proofs of his Godhead. Right hand of power. Of Omnipotence, of Almighty God. Coming in the clouds of heaven (Matthew 24:30). Christ thus distinctly asserts his Divinity, and claims to apply to himself the utterance in Psalm 110:1, and the great prophecy of Daniel (Daniel 7:13, 14). This was the plainest and most specific declaration of his real nature, power, and attributes, made with calm majesty, though he knew it was to seal his condemnation, and open the immediate way to his death.
