The title "Son of God" is significant in Jewish theology, as it implies a unique relationship with God, often associated with the Messiah. The Sanhedrin's question is a direct challenge to Jesus' identity and mission. In the context of first-century Judaism, claiming to be the Son of God was considered blasphemous unless it was true, as it implied equality with God. This moment is pivotal, as it sets the stage for the charge of blasphemy that leads to Jesus' crucifixion. The question also reflects the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, such as <a href="/psalms/2-7.htm">Psalm 2:7</a>, which speaks of the Messiah as God's Son.He replied, “You say that I am.” Jesus' response is both affirming and enigmatic. By saying, "You say that I am," He acknowledges their statement without directly claiming the title in a way that could be used against Him legally. This response is consistent with Jesus' teaching style, often using parables and indirect answers to reveal truth to those who are open to it while concealing it from those who are not. The phrase "I am" also echoes the divine name revealed to Moses in <a href="/exodus/3-14.htm">Exodus 3:14</a>, suggesting a deeper affirmation of His divine identity. This response aligns with Jesus' earlier declarations of His identity, such as in <a href="/john/10-30.htm">John 10:30</a>, where He states, "I and the Father are one." Theologically, this moment underscores the mystery of the Incarnation, where Jesus is both fully God and fully man.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> Central figure in this passage, responding to the question of His divine identity. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_sanhedrin.htm">The Sanhedrin</a> The Jewish council questioning Jesus, seeking to determine if He claims to be the Son of God. 3. <a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a> The city where this event takes place, specifically during the time of Jesus' trial before His crucifixion. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_high_priest.htm">The High Priest</a> The leader of the Sanhedrin, likely present during this interrogation of Jesus. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_trial_of_jesus.htm">The Trial of Jesus</a> The broader event encompassing this questioning, leading to Jesus' crucifixion.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/a/affirmation_of_divine_identity.htm">Affirmation of Divine Identity</a> Jesus' response to the Sanhedrin is a clear affirmation of His identity as the Son of God.

It apparently followed, as a spontaneous cry of indignant horror, on the answer which had been made to the adjuration of the high priest. The answer is complete in itself; but it implies, as in the less ambiguous forms in St. Matthew and St. Mark, the confession that He actually was what they had asked Him. The "I am" has something of the same significance as in <a href="/context/john/7-24.htm" title="Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.">John 7:24-25</a>; <a href="/john/8-58.htm" title="Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am.">John 8:58</a> (where see Notes).<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/22.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 70. - Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? Now bringing forward the loftier title formerly suppressed (in ver. 67). "And art thou, then, dost thou, poor Man, vain in thy imagining, dost thou assert thyself to be the Son of God?" So Stier. And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. This form of reply is not used in Greek, but is frequent in rabbinic. By such an answer the one interrogated accepts as his own affirmation the question put to him in its entirety. We have, then, here, in the clearest possible language: (1) A plain assertion by our Lord of his Divinity. (2) The reply of the Sanhedrists, showing that they for their part distinctly understood it as such, but to make it quite clear they asked him if that was his meaning, i.e. the assertion of his Divinity. (3) We have the Lord's quiet answer, "Yes, that was his meaning." The next verse (71) shows that they were satisfied with the evidence which they pro, ceeded without delay to lay before the Roman governor, Pilate. . . . <a href="/commentaries/luke/22-70.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>So δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. they all asked, Εἶπαν (Eipan) Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_2036.htm">Strong's 2036: </a> Answer, bid, bring word, command.
