This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
If thou art the Christ (Ei su ei ho Christos). The Messiah, they mean. The condition is the first class, assuming it to be true.
If I tell you (Ean humin eipō). 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 Mar 15:1; Mat 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 (Mar 14:64; Mat 26:66).
Ye will not believe (ou mē pisteusēte). Double negative with the aorist subjunctive, strongest possible negative. So as to Luk 22:68.
