MATTHEW 26:65 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.”
Then the high priest tore his robes and said: he has uttered blasphemy. What further witnesses do we need? You have now heard his blasphemy. The high priest's tearing of robes — the traditional response to blasphemy — communicates the verdict: the christological claim is blasphemy. The what further witnesses do we need communicates that Jesus' own claim is the sufficient evidence for the death sentence.
