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: Hi jonnyr1, A comparison of the gospel may give you an answer to your question as well as the excellent answers you have already received. In Mark, as you have said, the chief priest is the person of which it says "and you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power,..." It simply says "you shall see" with some time in the future being indicated. In Matthew 26:64 it says, "nevertheless, I tell you, hereafter you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power,..." My Study Bible has a marginal alternate reading for "hereafter" as [Or, from now on]. I believe the Greek supports that idea that "from now on" we all will see that He is who He said He was, and He will be coming in power and glory. In Mark 13:26, it doesn't talk of the high priest but it has the same idea of His coming. "And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory." So you see that not only the high priest but all of us will see this. Psalm 110:1, "The Lord says to my Lord: "Sit at **My right hand, Until I make Thine enemies a footstool for Thy feet." Mark 14:62, "...and you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of **Power..." From the heart, Ray In Matthew |
