SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:64
Jess le dijo: T lo has dicho; y aun os digo, que desde ahora habis de ver al Hijo del hombre sentado a la diestra de la potencia, y que viene en las nubes del cielo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:64
Verse 64. Thou hast said] That is, I am the Christ, the promised Messiah, (see on ver. 25;) and you and this whole nation shall shortly have the fullest proof of it: for hereafter, in a few years, ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, fully invested with absolute dominion, and coming in the clouds of heaven, to execute judgment upon this wicked race. See chap. xxiv. 30. Our Lord appears to refer to Dan. vii. 13: One like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, &c. This may also refer to the final judgment.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 64. Jesus saith unto him, thou hast said , etc.] That is, thou hast said right; or as Mark expresses it, I am, ( Mark 14:62), the Christ, the anointed of God, who was so from everlasting, and in time; being before the world was, installed into, and invested with the office of mediator; and in the fulness of time, anointed with the holy Spirit without measure: he might truly say he was the Messiah, since all the characters of him in the books of the prophets, met in him; and all the miracles he was to work in proof of his Messiahship were wrought by him: as also that be was the Son of God, not by creation, as angels and men; nor by adoption, as saints; nor as man, or in the human nature, in which he was the son of man, and not the Son of God; nor was he begotten as man, whereas he is called the only begotten Son, and the begotten of the Father; and was he the Son of God as man not the first, but the third person must be his Father; besides, he was the Son of God before his incarnation: nor as mediator neither; be was the Son of God, antecedent to his office as mediator; his sonship is distinct from it, is an illustration of it, and what puts virtue into it; but he is so as God, as a divine person, by natural and eternal filiation; being begotten of the Father in the divine essence, and of the same nature; and having the same perfections with him, and in all things equal to him; and is the sense in which he always affirmed God to be his Father, and himself to be his Son. For this phrase, thou hast said, as answering to an affirmation, I am, (see Gill on Matthew 26:25). Now, though Christ had so fully answered to the adjuration, and so strongly affirmed himself to be the Messiah, the Son of God, yet he knew they would not believe; and therefore refers them to an after proof thereof, which whether they would or not, would oblige them to acknowledge the whole: nevertheless, I say unto you, hereafter shall ye see the son of man, sitting at the right hand of power : the Vulgate Latin, and Munsters Hebrew Gospel, read the power of God, as in ( Luke 22:69), though it is not absolutely necessary; for power designs God himself, who is all powerful; as appears by the creation of all things out of nothing, the upholding of all things in their being, the redemption of men, the conversion of sinners, and the preservation of his saints. In the Jewish writings f1598 , God is frequently called, hrwbgh , the power: such a thing, say they, we have heard, hrwbgh ypm , from the mouth of power, or might; that is, from God himself: and so he is by the Grecians called dunamiv , power f1599 : by the son of man, is meant Christ in the human nature; who then appeared at their bar as a mere man, in a very despicable form and condition, but hereafter they should see him in a more glorious one, and at the right hand of God: a phrase expressive of his exaltation, above all creatures whatever: respect is had to the prophecy of him in ( <19B001> Psalm 110:1). Sitting there, denotes his having done his work; and his continuance in his exalted state, until all enemies are subdued under him: and when he says they should see him, his meaning is not, that they should see him at the right hand of God with their bodily eyes, as Stephen did; but that they should, or at least might, see and know by the effects, that he was set down at the right hand of God; as by the pouring forth of the holy Spirit upon his disciples, on the day of pentecost; by the wonderful spread of his Gospel, and the success of it, notwithstanding all the opposition made by them, and others; and particularly, by the vengeance he should take on their nation, city, and temple; and which may be more especially designed in the next clause; and coming in, the clouds of heaven . So Christs coming to take vengeance on the Jewish nation, as it is often called the coming of the son of man, is described in this manner, ( Matthew 24:27,30). Though this may also be understood of Christs second coming to judgment, at the last day; when as he went up to heaven in a cloud, he will return, and come also in the clouds of heaven; (see Acts 1:9,11) ( Revelation 1:7), when he will be seen by the eyes of all, good and bad; and when this sanhedrim, before whom he now was, will see him also, and confess that he is Lord and Christ, and the Son of God. Though the former clause seems to have regard to what would quickly come to pass, and what they should soon observe, and be convinced of; for ap arti , rendered hereafter, may be translated henceforwards; or as it is in the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, from this time; meaning, that in a very little while, they should begin to see the effects of his being set down at the right hand of God, and which would be full proofs of it, and should see him come in the clouds of heaven, at the last day: reference seems to be had to ( Daniel 7:13), where one like unto the son of man is said to come in the clouds of heaven, and which is understood of the Messiah by many, both of the ancient and modern Jews f1600 : with whom one of his names is Anani f1601 , which signifies clouds.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 57-68 - Jesus was hurried into Jerusalem. It looks ill, and bodes worse, when those who are willing to be Christ's disciples, are not willing to be known to be so. Here began Peter's denying him: for to follow Chris afar off, is to begin to go back from him. It is more our concern to prepare for the end, whatever it may be, than curiously to ask what the end will be. The event is God's, but the duty is ours. Now the Scriptures were fulfilled, which said, False witnesses are risen u against me. Christ was accused, that we might not be condemned; and i at any time we suffer thus, let us remember we cannot expect to far better than our Master. When Christ was made sin for us, he was silent and left it to his blood to speak. Hitherto Jesus had seldom professe expressly to be the Christ, the Son of God; the tenor of his doctrin spoke it, and his miracles proved it; but now he would not omit to make an open confession of it. It would have looked like declining his sufferings. He thus confessed, as an example and encouragement to his followers, to confess him before men, whatever hazard they ran Disdain, cruel mocking, and abhorrence, are the sure portion of the disciple as they were of the Master, from such as would buffet an deride the Lord of glory. These things were exactly foretold in the fiftieth chapter of Isaiah. Let us confess Christ's name, and bear the reproach, and he will confess us before his Father's throne.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
64. Thou hast said. An affirmation. You have spoken the truth. What thou hast asked me is the fact. Compare ver. 25. Nevertheless (plhn). However. Apart from my affirmation, you shall see for yourself.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
26:64 {Thou hast said} (su eipas). this is a Greek affirmative reply. Mark (#Mr 14:62) has it plainly, "I am" (eimi). But this is not all that Jesus said to Caiaphas. He claims that the day will come when Jesus will be the Judge and Caiaphas the culprit using the prophetic language in #Da 7:13 and #Ps 109:1. It was all that Caiaphas wanted.
