Luke 22:67
If thou art the Christ ( Ε συ ε ο Χριστος ). The Messiah, they mean. The condition is the first class, assuming it to be true.If I tell you ( Εαν υμιν ειπω ). Condition of the third class, undetermined, but with likelihood of being determined. This is the second appearance of Jesus before the Sanhedrin merely mentioned by Mr 15:1; Mt 27:1 who give in detail the first appearance and trial. Luke merely gives this so-called ratification meeting after daybreak to give the appearance of legality to their vote of condemnation already taken (Mr 14:64; Mt 26:66).
Ye will not believe ( ου μη πιστευσητε ). Double negative with the aorist subjunctive, strongest possible negative. So as to verse 68.
