“If You are the Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe;
and said to Him, “Are You the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?”
But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
But He kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;
Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word.
He answered them, “I told you already and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?”
The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him.
