NASB | Mark 14:62 And Jesus said, "I am; and you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 14:62 Jesus said, "I am; and you will [all] see THE SON OF MAN SEATED [with authority] AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER (the Father), and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN." [Ps 110:1; Dan 7:13] |
Bible Question:
In Mark 14:62 Jesus is speaking directly to the high priest. Jesus says, "...you shall see the sone of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven." In other words, Jesus told the high priest that he would see Jesus (the Son of Man) returning in the clouds of heaven. But did he? The priest has died and did not see Jesus returning in the clouds. Nor did anyone else. Is there any defense for this verse? Help Please! Jon |
Bible Answer: Jon, Jesu did not say when the High priest would see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven. He will certainly see Him at the last judgement and may have seen Him at the moment of death before his individual judgement. This statment of Jesus was mor a declaration by Jesus of His own identity as the divine "I am" and the Messiah. See Psalm 110:1,2, 5-7 and Daniel 7:9,13, 23-27. for the reference verse and how they also show thet the Son of Man will be vindicated over His enemies by God. Jesus was vindicated in the face of His enemies by His Resurrection and Acension into heaven. Also interesting is the response of the High Priest who tears his garment in violation of Leviticus 10:6 and 21:21:10. Mystically this has been interpreted as the rending and end of the priesthood of the Old Covenant. By comparison, the Linen garment of Jesus, the High Priest of the New Covenant (Hebrews 7:23-24)is not torn (John 19:23-24). Emmaus |
