Mark 14:62 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."
62. And Jesus said, I am--or, as in Matthew
(Mt 26:64),
"Thou hast said [it]." In Luke, however
(Lu 22:70),
the answer, "Ye say that I am," should be rendered--as DE WETTE, MEYER, ELLICOTT, and the best
critics agree that the preposition requires--"Ye say [it], for I am
[so]." Some words, however, were spoken by our Lord before giving His
answer to this solemn question. These are recorded by Luke alone
(Lu 22:67, 68):
"Art Thou the Christ [they asked]? tell us. And He said unto them, If I
tell you, ye will not believe: and if I also ask [interrogate] "you, ye
will not answer Me, nor let Me go." This seems to have been uttered
before giving His direct answer, as a calm remonstrance and dignified
protest against the prejudgment of His case and the unfairness of their
mode of procedure. But now let us hear the rest of the answer, in which
the conscious majesty of Jesus breaks forth from behind the dark cloud
which overhung Him as He stood before the Council. (Also see on
Joh 18:28.)
and--in that character.
ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and
coming in the clouds of heaven--In Matthew
(Mt 26:64)
a slightly different but interesting turn is given to it by one word:
"Thou hast said [it]: nevertheless"--We prefer this sense of the word
to "besides," which some recent critics decide for--"I say unto you,
Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sit on the right hand of power,
and coming in the clouds of heaven." The word rendered "hereafter"
means, not "at some future time" (as to-day "hereafter" commonly does),
but what the English word originally signified, "after here," "after
now," or "from this time." Accordingly, in
Lu 22:69,
the words used mean "from now." So that though the reference we have
given it to the day of His glorious Second Appearing is too obvious to
admit of doubt, He would, by using the expression, "From this time,"
convey the important thought which He had before expressed, immediately
after the traitor left the supper table to do his dark work,
"Now is the Son of man glorified"
(Joh 13:31).
At this moment, and by this speech, did He "witness the good
confession" emphatically and properly, as the apostle says in
1Ti 6:13.
Our translators render the words there, "Who before Pontius
Pilate witnessed"; referring it to the admission of His being a
King, in the presence of Cæsar's own chief representative.
But it should be rendered, as LUTHER renders it,
and as the best interpreters now understand it, "Who under
Pontius Pilate witnessed," &c. In this view of it, the apostle is
referring not to what our Lord confessed before Pilate--which,
though noble, was not of such primary importance--but to that sublime
confession which, under Pilate's administration, He witnessed before
the only competent tribunal on such occasions, the Supreme
Ecclesiastical Council of God's chosen nation, that He was THE MESSIAH, and THE SON OF THE BLESSED ONE; in the former word
owning His Supreme Official, in the latter His Supreme
Personal, Dignity.

Introduction to The Gospel of Mark
The Word Gospel. The second book of the English Bible that most of us read from is the Gospel of Mark. Mark is the second of the four gospel writings, yet there is only one gospel about Jesus Christ and there are four different writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The word "Gospel" means "good news", and the good news is about Jesus Christ dying on the cross and then 3 days later conquering death and rising from the dead, offering salvation to all mankind, this is the Gospel.
Summary of The Book of Mark
Brief Summary. Jesus of Nazareth is the suffering servant who came to die for the sins of all men. He did His work and "immediately" went to the cross, so be encouraged all who are suffering because Christ suffered for you.
Purpose. The Book of Mark is the shortest of the 4 Gospel accounts of the life of Jesus Christ. and he seems to write his account of the Gospel of Christ with a sense of urgency. He mentions the word "immediately" 27 times. In Mark many times Jesus exercises actions rather than words, which would impress his Roman readers who the Book seems to be addressing. He portrays Jesus as a man of power and miracles, who could set aside the laws of nature at will. Yet this powerful Son of God was the suffering servant who would give up His life as a ransom for all mankind (Mark 10:45). The clear purpose of mark was to encourage those suffering persecution that their master suffered first, and He suffered for them.
Audience. Apparently Mark wrote his Gospel account to encourage gentile Christians in Rome who were facing the persecutions of the Emperor Nero. History is clear about the atrocious behavior of the Romans and especially the insanity of Nero. The other evidence that scholars bring up concerning mark's audience as being gentiles is the fact that Mark does not deal with Jewish Laws and he only quotes one prophecy from the Old Testament. There is also careful thought into explaining Jewish customs and idioms. (See Mark 3:7; 5:41; 7:2; 10:46; 14:36; 15:34; 9:43; 14:12; 15:42).
Authorship. The gospel of Mark does not proclaim who the author is within the document, yet the information that we know about Mark can be seen in the writer of this gospel. It is evident that the writer was Jewish, he was a Christian, and he was familiar with every day Jewish life, as well as the Jewish Scriptures. We know from the Scriptures that Mark was Jewish, and he knew the teachings of Jesus very well. He also knew the teachings of the rest of the apostles. It is also important to notice that after Peter was imprisoned he went to the house of Mary, the mother of Mark (Acts 12:12-17). Also Peter mentions in his epistle "my son Mark" (1 Peter 5:13). During Paul's missionary journeys Mark became a companion of Paul and Barnabas, and he left them at Perga in Pamphylia (Acts 13:13), after Paul had rebuked him. Many years later Mark regained the favor of Paul (Col. 4:10; 2 Tim. 4:11). Early Church tradition unanimously ascribes the second gospel to Mark as a companion of Peter and the writer of the second Gospel. One prologue to the Gospels which was written around 160 AD has this statement: "Mark� Was Peter's interpreter, and after Peter's decease wrote down this gospel in the region of Italy." Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria and Tertullian also attest to Mark as the author.
Location. Nothing in the Gospel of Mark indicates where it was written from. Most of the early writers who boast of Mark as the author also name Rome as the place it was written.
Date. Early Christian writers and traditions place the Gospel of Mark sometime close to the end of Peter's life, around 60-65 AD. Most scholars agree that the Gospel of Mark was written before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, while the Second Temple in Jerusalem was still standing (Mark 13:1-2). Many scholars do not believe in the miracle of predictive prophecy and argue that the Gospel of Mark was written after the fall of Jerusalem, because of the accurate details of the events that Jesus spoke about. Mark's Gospel account seems to have been written as encouragement to the Christians who were facing the persecution of the Emperor Nero which took place in 64 AD.
