"I adjure Thee by the living God, that Thou tell us whether Thou be the Christ, the son of God." Matthew 26:63. The Saviour never denied His mission or His relation to the Father. He could remain silent to personal insult, but He ever spoke plainly and decidedly when His work or Sonship to God was called in question. Every ear was bent to listen, and every eye was fixed upon Him as He answered: "Thou hast said."

"Jeg tager dig i ed ved den levende Gud: "Sig os, om du er Kristus, Guds Søn". Matt. 26,63. Frelseren havde aldrig fornægtet sin mission eller sit forhold til Faderen. Han kunne tie over for personlige fornærmelser, men han tog altid klart og tydeligt til orde, når hans gerning eller hans stilling som Guds Søn blev draget i tvivl. Alle lyttede med spændt opmærksomhed og hvert øje var fæstet på ham, da han svarede: "Du har selv sagt det".
