67. If You are the Christ (the Messiah), tell us. But He said to them, If I tell you, you will not believe (trust in, cleave to, and rely on what I say),
68. And if I question you, you will not answer.
69. But hereafter (from this time on), the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God. [Ps. 110:1.]

71. And they said, What further evidence do we need? For we have heard [it] ourselves from His own mouth!
