But he said to them, "If I do tell you, you will not believe.68 And if I ask you, you will not answer.69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God." 22:69 Ps 110:1; Mk 16:19; Ac 7:56; Heb 1:3
70 They all asked, "Are you, then, the Son of God? " 22:70 Mt 4:3; Lk 1:32,35
And he said to them, "You say that I am." 22:70 Mt 26:64; 27:11; Lk 23:3
71 "Why do we need any more testimony," they said, "since we’ve heard it ourselves from his mouth? "
