Mark 14: “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

In Mark 14, Jesus is betrayed and captured. He is taken to be judged by the Jewish leaders. We read:

60 And then the high priest stood up and came forward and questioned Jesus, saying, “Do You not offer any answer for what these men are testifying against You?”
61 But He kept silent and did not offer any answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and *said to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?” 62 And Jesus said, “I am; and you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

Jesus answered that He is the Messiah and the Son of God to the high priest. Besides, he also said that he is the one pointed by Daniel 7. He is the Son of Man.

In Daniel 7:

13
“I kept looking in the night visions,
And behold, with the clouds of heaven
One like a son of man was coming,
And He came up to the Ancient of Days
And was presented before Him.
14
And to Him was given dominion,
Honor, and a kingdom,
So that all the peoples, nations, and populations of all languages
Might serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
Which will not pass away;
And His kingdom is one
Which will not be destroyed.

The Son of Man is the One who will receive dominion, honor and a kingdom that will reign over all other nations.
Jesus is in front of the high priest next to his crucifixion.
The high priest understand that Jesus claims to the Son of God. If so, then Jesus is saying that the high priest will be judged by his sin. For the high priest, Jesus is blaspheming because he is against a great representative of the Lord on earth - the high priest.

Even next to his death, Jesus knew and made it clear: he is the Messiah, the son of God.
