Why Did The High Priest Think Jesus Blasphemed? by vybzkartel: 2:26pm On Dec 18, 2020 |
Mark 14:61-64 [61]But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” [62]Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. [63]Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need do we have of witnesses? [64]You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death. Why did the High Priest consider Jesus' statement to be blasphemy? Thank |

vybzkartel: Because The Lord who was looking like man said He is The Lord by the Translation of that Statement, which He has said before, which they wanted to kill Him then, but it was not the Time. For like sonmavayina, they can not expect nor Imagine that Great God would come so simply, quietly, and lowly as they think, All Great Persons Show their Greatness in Great ways eg like Dangote, Buhari and co going to an event with Danfo, would be unheard of. They Imagine that there must be Escorts of Angels, Trumpets, Thunders and Lightenings Replica of governors', presidents entourage. But The Lord did not do so, so you can see the difficulty to believe Him. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Moses foretold that a prophet like himself will be sent to the nation of Israel and they must listen to whatever he tells them! Deuteronomy 18:15-18 compared to Act 3:22 David referred to this promised Messiah as "Lord" saying "JEHOVAH said to my Lord, 'sit at my right hand' until i make your enemies a stool for your feet" Psalms 110:1 compared to Act 2:34-36 Isaiah said this prophet will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace" Isaiah 9:6 Daniel said this Prophet "will destroy all the governments of the earth and establish his own" Daniel 2:44 Malachi said before this prophet (who will represent the most high) comes Elijah will be sent to clear the way for him" Malachi 4:5-6 John (Israelites last prophet) said the one coming behind me is greater than i, he existed before me {John 1:30} his sandals i'm unfit to loose! Matthew 3:11 With all these the Sanhendrin (Jewish high court comprising of Pharisees and Sadducees amongst whom the Roman government often select the one who will serve as the Highpriest) have heard so much from their disciples who often go to listen whenever Jesus is preaching publicly. So they're expecting Jesus to do all that the prophets have foretold about the Messiah (Christ) because they all knew that the Christ is the only begotten SON of God. Since Jesus never fulfilled a quarter of those prophecies yet claiming he is the Christ they concluded he is just an impostor who has been deceiving the masses! Matthew 27:63 That's why the Highpriest torn his garment in a showy display as if Jesus has done something deserving death. But before Jesus, two Jewish zealots have risen claiming they're the Christ, though they were both captured and executed by the Roman government for disrupting the peace in Judea! Act 5:36-37 compared to John 10:8 May you have PEACE! ![]() vybzkartel: 1 Like |

MaxInDHouse: What is blasphemy? |
Re: Why Did The High Priest Think Jesus Blasphemed? by Jones4190(m): 4:39pm On Dec 18, 2020 |
let us consider what prompted our lord to have answers the question at first, Why our Lord should have answered this question, when He was silent as to the former, we might not have quite seen, but for Matthew, who says (Matthew 26:63) that the high priest put Him upon solemn oath, saying, “I adjure Thee by the living God, that Thou tell us whether Thou be the Christ, the Son of God.” Such an adjuration was understood to render an answer legally necessary (Leviticus 5:1) Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? Seeing that Jesus was not to be lured into an answer, and well knowing his perfect frankness, Caiaphas resolved, in his desperation, to question Jesus plainly and bluntly. His question is twofold: (1) Art thou Christ? (2) Art thou the Son of God? The latter of these would constitute blasphemy, and the former, by showing a boastful spirit would tend to confirm the charge. Perhaps, too, Caiaphas anticipated the future, and foresaw how useful this claim to be Messiah would prove when a hearing was had before Pilate (Luke 23:2). Originally the Messiah was recognized as the Son of God (Psalms 2:7), but if the Jews had ever generally entertained such an idea, they had lost it before Jesus' day, The Messiah might of course be called the Son of God in that secondary sense in which Adam was thus called (John 1:49; Luke 3:38). But Jesus had used the term in an entirely different sense, and his usage had been extremely offensive to the Jews (Matthew 22:41-46; John 5:17,18; John 10:30-39). Caiaphas evidently wished Jesus to answer this question in that new sense which the Lord had given to the words. Caiaphas had no legal right to ask either of these questions. No man can be compelled to testify against himself, but he knew the claims of Jesus, and realized that if Jesus repudiated them he would be shamed forever, and if he asserted them he could be charged with blasphemy. Taking advantage, therefore, of the situation, Caiaphas put the question with the usual formula of an oath, thus adding moral power to it, for, under ordinary circumstances, one was held guilty if he refused to answer when thus adjured (Leviticus 5:1). When their own witnesses failed, these rulers called the "faithful witness" (1 Timothy 6:13; Revelation 1:5). |

Claiming he is the Messiah when he's not fulfilling the role as the Jews expected. For instance they're expecting the Messiah to free their nation from Romans at least like Moses did in Egypt! Deuteronomy 18:15-18 But Jesus was just preaching and teaching in all their territories, he even performed miracles for Romans! Matthew 8:5-10 So they hated him with passion! ![]() vybzkartel: |

ThePlainTruth: John 14:27 ,17:22, Romans 15:5-6, Jesus gives the disciples peace. Jehovah's Servants are one, United. Matthew 10:32-37, the truth of Jesus teaching will cause divisions and enemies between family members who embrace The truth to become Jehovah's Servants and their brothers/mothers uncles, etc who do not embrace the unpopular truth of God's word. John 17:16, 1st John 2:15,because Jehovah's Servants are no part of the world alienated from God |
Re: Why Did The High Priest Think Jesus Blasphemed? by DappaD: 6:36pm On Dec 18, 2020 |
ThePlainTruth: Oga read the verse 35 and 36 before you conclude. Jesus was well aware that world would neither welcome nor approve of his message of the Kingdom which he preached and by extension, since the world hated and persecuted him, his own disciples who are going from house to house to preach about God's Kingdom will also be hated and persecuted by their family members and others. Matthew 10:11-13,22;Acts 5:42 Matthew 10:35-36 has already answered the question for you. A man's[believer's] enemies will be those of his household all because he's chosen to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. Micah 7:6 So it's the unbelieving family members who will want to cause trouble and chaos for the one who is a follower of Jesus who by reason of being a true Christian is peaceable with all sorts of men.

vybzkartel: You have the answer there already. He answered the high priest's question in the affirmative. High priest questioned: "Are you the Son of the Blessed One." The Messiah replied: " I am." Yahushua the Messiah shuddered them even a little further when he added: "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” Yahushua the Messiah spoke the truth to them, but they didn't accept it and instead called it blasphemy because they were not his sheep. 1 Like |

Dtruthspeaker: What makes you think such things did not happen? He had and still has authority over all that you mentioned above. However, even if they, the high priest and the other were made to recognize such about him, don't think it would had made any difference to them. John 15:24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’ |

ThePlainTruth: Wait let me get you straight. The Messiah should come and force everybody to make peace abi? Because if it's by force, then it's no more different from the UN who can go to lengths of wars and conflicts in the name of establishing “peace”. Jesus Christ made it clear that all those who willingly embrace his teachings will never take up weapons of war to resolve conflicts and that they would be peaceful with their neighbours. Matthew 26:52, Luke 6:29 So stop deceiving yourself, it was the Jews and other stiff-necked people who chose not to follow the real Messiah's teachings so that peace can be achieved amongst them. The fault was not from Jesus but from the Jews and neither will he force anybody to follow after him. Matthew 16:24, Mark 6:1-4 You're waiting for another Messiah to come shey? Okay but just know that the next encounter the Messiah concerning this earth will be bloody between him and the present earth's inhabitants who do not obey God and the good news about Jesus Christ himself. 2Thessalonians 1:6-10, Revelation 16:14-16, 19:11-21 Then after that, God's Kingdom will be firmly established on the earth and true PEACE & SECURITY can now reign amongst the earth's inhabitants who have sought Jehovah God, righteousness and meekness. Psalm 37:11,29; Isaiah 9:7, Zephaniah 2:2-3, Matthew 5:5, 2Peter 3:13, Revelation 21:1-4 Until then, everybody has a choice to make. |
