c. They will one day see the Son of Man sit at the right hand of God.

4. The second demand of the Council

“Are You then the Son of God?”

Luke 22:70

a. This question was not raised because they wanted to know the truth.

b. They wanted an answer that they could use to convict Jesus of sin.

5. The answer of the Lord Jesus Christ

a. He affirmed this truth.

b. He could not deny this glorious truth.

6. The conclusion of this trial

a. They felt that they did not need any further testimony.

b. They heard what they wanted to hear.

c. To them, Jesus had convicted Himself
