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: Greetings Jon! Your first premise is actually incorrect. You state that 'you shall see' is addressed directly to the High Priest. Yet, the Greek verb is 2nd person plural. Therefore, Jesus was not specifically saying that the High Priest would see. One could argue that Jesus was addressing all those present, but a much more convincing arguement would simply be that Jesus was taking several well known quotes from the Old Testament and using them to fully reveal His true identity to the Jewish leaders.
