Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, He has spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
All Commentaries on Matthew 26:65 Go To Matthew 26
John Chrysostom
AD 407
And yet what kind of blasphemy was this? For indeed before He had said, when they were gathered together, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit on my right hand, Matthew 22:43-46 and interpreted the saying, and they dared say nothing, but held their peace, and from that time forth gainsaid Him no more. Why then did they now call the saying a blasphemy? And wherefore also did Christ thus answer them? To take away all their excuse, because unto the last day He taught that He was Christ, and that He sits at the right hand of the Father, and that He will come again to judge the world, which was the language of one manifesting His full accordance with the Father.
