Context
22:65 They also said many other things against him , reviling him.
22:66 When day came , the council of the elders of the people gathered together , both the chief priests and the experts in the law . Then they led Jesus away to their council
22:67 and said, “If you are the Christ , tell us .” But he said to them , “If I tell you , you will not believe ,
22:68 and if I ask you, you will not answer .
22:69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God .”
22:70 So they all said , “Are you the Son of God , then ?” He answered them , “You say that I am .”
22:71 Then they said , “Why do we need further testimony ? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips !”
