c. They will one day see the Son of Man sit at the right hand of God.
4. The second demand of the Council
“Are You then the Son of God?”
Luke 22:70
a. This question was not raised because they wanted to know the truth.

a. He affirmed this truth.
b. He could not deny this glorious truth.
6. The conclusion of this trial
