You have heard
This phrase indicates the direct involvement of the audience in the trial of Jesus. The Greek word for "heard" is "ἀκούω" (akouo), which implies not just hearing but understanding and perceiving. In the context of a trial, it suggests that the listeners are witnesses to the testimony and are now responsible for their response. This phrase underscores the communal aspect of the judgment being passed, highlighting the collective responsibility of the Sanhedrin in the decision-making process.

the blasphemy
The term "blasphemy" comes from the Greek "βλασφημία" (blasphemia), which means speaking evil or slander against God. In Jewish law, blasphemy was a grave sin, punishable by death, as it was seen as a direct affront to the holiness and sovereignty of God. The accusation of blasphemy against Jesus was based on His claim to divine authority and identity, which the religious leaders perceived as a threat to their understanding of monotheism and the established religious order.

What is your verdict?
This question is a call to judgment, inviting the members of the Sanhedrin to express their decision. The Greek word for "verdict" is "κρίσις" (krisis), which means judgment or decision. It reflects the legal and moral responsibility of the leaders to discern truth and administer justice. This moment is pivotal, as it reveals the hearts and intentions of those who hold power, and their willingness to uphold or reject the truth of Jesus' identity.

And they all condemned Him
The phrase "they all condemned" indicates unanimity among the council members. The Greek word "κατακρίνω" (katakrino) means to judge against or to pronounce guilty. This collective condemnation highlights the consensus among the religious leaders, driven by their rejection of Jesus' claims and their desire to maintain their authority. It also fulfills the prophetic scriptures that foretold the suffering and rejection of the Messiah.

as deserving of death
The decision that Jesus was "deserving of death" reflects the severity of the charge of blasphemy. In the Jewish context, the penalty for blasphemy was stoning, as prescribed in Leviticus 24:16. However, under Roman occupation, the Jewish leaders did not have the authority to carry out capital punishment, which is why they later brought Jesus to Pilate. This phrase underscores the gravity of the situation and the lengths to which the religious leaders were willing to go to silence Jesus, fulfilling the divine plan of redemption through His sacrificial death.

(64) Guilty of death.--Here, as in Matthew 26:66, the translators follow the old English usage, and connect the word "guilty," not as we now do, with the crime of which a man is convicted, but with the punishment to which he is liable.

Verse 64. - They all condemned him to be worthy of death (ἔνοχον θανάτου). There were, therefore, none there but those who were known to be opposed to our Lord. It will be remembered that all these proceedings were illegal.
