📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Luke, chapter 22, this verse occurs during Jesus' trial before the Sanhedrin, the Jewish religious council, where He was accused of blasphemy and questioned about His identity. Jesus' statement echoes the prophetic vision in Daniel 7:13-14, where the Son of Man is described as receiving eternal dominion and glory from God. This bold claim asserted His divine authority and foreshadowed His resurrection and ascension, intensifying the conflict with His accusers.
