Luke 22

Luke 22:70

70. — Ye say that I am.] It is as ye say; I am.

Luke 22:71

71. — we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.] That He styles Himself the Son of God, and so blasphemes, by making Himself equal with God, John v. 18; x. 33. Dr. Whitby. Chap. XXIII. ver. 1: And the whole multitude] It seems probable, that the priests, elders, scribes, and explains of the temple, with their servants and dependents, made up the multitude here spoken of. The common people were for the most part favourers of Jesus, and for this reason the Jewish rulers caused Him to be seized in the night, and “in the absence of the multitude,” chap. xxii. 6. Bp. Pearce. For further notes on this chapter, see Matt. xxvii.
