The Jewish leaders answered, “He is guilty, and he must die.”
The high priest speaks first. Jesus has admitted that he is the Messiah. He tells them that they will see him at God's right hand. That infuriates the priests.
The certainty of the priests is what gets me. They are so sure that Jesus is a blasphemer. They are so sure that his death is the answer. I don't think I could ever be so certain about ending anyone's life, even if they were guilty of murder. I know that I could never condone someone's death based on his or her words.
