Bible Note: Thank you WOS for your reply. 1. Mark is only giving the gist of what Matthew, and Luke had to say at this point in the text. In Luke 22:70, in the ESV, it reads "You say that i am",and in Matthew 26:64, in the ESV, it reads, "You have said so". This in no way disagrees with Mark who is only giving a summation of what Jesus said, ie, Mark is saying that Jesus's words amount to an admission that He is indeed the Christ, and this could just as well be expressed by the statement "I AM", which in fact is what He was claiming anyway, even if He used different words. I believe that what our Lord intended to convey was that He knew exactly what they had said about Him in private, behind closed doors, ie, that they knew very well that He was in fact the Christ. "You have (past tense) said that i am". Now dealing with No's 2, and 3. The Pharisees taught that anyone could perform miracles who was empowered to do so by the Holy Spirit (Matt12:27), but that there were certain miracles that only the Messiah when He came would be able to preform. These miracles included, clensing the leper, (several instances), opening the eyes of a person born blind,(John 9:1-34), casting out a dumb spirit, (Matt 12:22-32), and raising the dead when that person had been dead at least three days, this last one explains John 11:5-6. and also verse 15. I hope that the above is of some help in explaining my view point. Every blessing. Edwin Brain. |
