“Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.”
Mark 14:64 — Greek Interlinear
Church Fathers on Mark 14:64
The more Jesus remained silent before the false witnesses who were unworthy of His answer, and the impious priests, the more the High Priest, overcome with anger, endeavoured to provoke Him to answer, that he might find room for accusing Him, from any thing whatever which He might say.
But our God and Saviour Himself, Who brought salvation to the world, and assisted mankind by His love, is led as a sheep to the slaughter, without crying, and remained mute and 'kept silence yea even from good words.'
But He remained silent because He knew that they would not attend to His words, wherefore He answered according to Luke, 'If I tell you, ye will not believe.' [Luke 22:67]
