And they all said, 'Thou, then, art the Son of God?' and he said unto them, 'Ye say it, because I am;'

Thereupon they cried out with one voice, "You, then, are the Son of God?" "It is as you say," He answered; "I am He."

"Are you, then, the Son of God?" they all asked. "It is true," answered Jesus, "I am."

Art thou then the Son of God? - They all insisted on an answer to this question, and the high priest particularly put it to him, Matthew 26:63.

Then said they all,.... The whole sanhedrim, with one voice, being greedy to lay hold on, and improve these words, that they might have something to lay to his charge:
art thou the Son of God? for they knew that the Messiah, or the son of man, that was to sit at the right hand of God, and come in the clouds of heaven, was the Son of God:
and he said unto them, ye say that I am; or rather the words may be rendered, "ye say it", and ye say right; it is the very truth: "for I am"; that is, "the Son of God", as the Ethiopic version here adds; which sense agrees with Mark 14:62 and the following words seem to require this sense and version.

They all said, Art thou then the Son of God? - Both these, the Son of God, and the Son of man, were known titles of the Messiah; the one taken from his Divine, and the other from his human nature.
