The first part of Jesus his answer is, Luk. 22.67, 68. if I tell you, you will not believe, and if I also ask you, you will not answer me, nor let me go. Wherein Jesus Christ doth manifest to them, that he knew their agreement in their secret counsel. Whereby he proveth to their Consciences that he is the Son of God. Again, he declareth to them, that the end and scope of their question was not to be informed in the point, that they might believe, for they were resolved not to believe. Again he telleth them, if I ask you any thing, you are agreed that you will not answer me again; whatsoever I say, you will not let me go: you are ⟨p. 84⟩resolved to kill me. Thus plainly doth he lay open their design, and resolution in their private Council, and detecteth them in their open Council, so open as it was.

The 2d. part of the Answer of Jesus Christ is ver. 69. Hereafter shall the Son of Man sit at the right hand of the power of God. The sense and meaning of which words they understood, viz. that though they now see him in this low estate of his Humiliation; yet the next appearance that they shall see him in, is, at the right hand of the power of God. Then they fully opened their trap, and say, Art thou then the Son of God? v. 70. And this is to be observed, that they were so eager upon their design that they spake all at once, Then they all said.
