ISB ~ Mark 14 v62

I am:Jesus unambiguously accepts the charge that he is the Son of God and the Messiah of Israel. See word study: Christ. the Son of man: Jesus expects the Father will vindicate him soon after he is condemned. His words evoke the majestic imagery of Ps 110:1 and Dan 7:13.

• The specific contexts of these OT passages are linked together by common images: the Messiah of Ps 110 and the Son of Man in Dan 7 both stand before God in a royal throne room (Ps 110:1; Dan 7:9), and both triumph over their enemies (Ps 110:2, 5-7; Dan 7:23-27). Merging the two texts into a single self-portrait, Jesus claims that God himself will overturn the death sentence of the Sanhedrin by raising him from the dead and enthroning him in glory (CCC 664). See note on Mt 26:64 and essay: Jesus, the Son of Man at Lk 17.
