Mat 26:64, Rev 1:7 | Family | STEP | Thou hast said ; said the truth, I am the Christ. Sitting--coming ; this was claiming divine power and honor.

‏ Matthew 26:64

Thou hast said; said the truth, I am the Christ.

Sitting--coming; this was claiming divine power and honor.

‏ Revelation of John 1:7

He cometh; for the deliverance of his friends and the ruin of his enemies.

They also which pierced him--all kindreds of the earth shall wail; there is here an allusion to Zec 12:10-14, but with a different application of the words. In Zechariah it is a penitential mourning; but here, as in Mt 24:30, where the same words are used, it is a mourning of terror in view of Christ's coming to take vengeance on the wicked. Compare 2Th 1:8.
