Now things get dicey. There is so much going on in these few short verses it is hard to keep up with the pace. Jesus is silent (26:63), as the perfect Lamb of God. And though the high priest seems to be in charge, it is Jesus, the Great High Priest (cf. the Letter to the Hebrews) who asserts his authority, using apocalyptic imagery (26:64), joining together quotations from Psalm 110:1 and Daniel 7:13. This is not the first hint that things are about to get cosmic in proportions.
