Luke 22:70

“Then said they all, etc.] The whole sanhedrim, with one voice, being greedy to lay hold on, and improve these words, that they might have something to lay to his charge: art thou the Son of God? for they knew that the Messiah, or the son of man, that was to sit at the right hand of God, and come in the clouds of heaven, was the Son of God: and he said unto them, ye say that I am; or rather the words may be rendered, “ye say it”, and ye say right; it is the very truth: “for I am”; that is, “the Son of God”, as the Ethiopic version here adds; which sense agrees with (<411462>Mark 14:62) and the following words seem to require this sense and version.”

“They all said, Art thou then the Son of God? - Both these, the Son of God, and the Son of man, were known titles of the Messiah; the one taken from his Divine, and the other from his human nature. Next: Luke Chapter 23”

“22:70 The significance of Jesus’ statement (22:69) was not lost on the council members. The Messiah was expected to be the Son of God and have a special father–son relationship with God (see study notes on 1:32-33; 4:41; cp. 2 Sam 7:14; Pss 2:7; 89:26). The Sanhedrin accused Jesus of claiming to be the Messiah (cp. study notes on Mark 14:62, 63-64). • You say that I am: This is a qualified affirmation. Jesus probably meant, “What you say is true, but you do not understand what ‘Messiah’ means.” They understood it as a confirmation (Luke 22:71).”
