Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Jesus answered him, 'You said it yourself. But I'm telling you this, from now on, you're going to see the Son of Man sitting right next to God in power, coming through the clouds of heaven.'
Jesus basically said 'you'll see' when they questioned who he really was.
📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Matthew, this verse takes place during Jesus' trial before the high priest Caiaphas, where he was being interrogated by the Sanhedrin about his claims to be the Messiah. Jesus responds to the high priest's direct question, affirming his identity and foretelling his future exaltation, which echoes the prophetic imagery from Daniel 7:13 about the Son of Man coming in glory. This moment highlights the tension between Jesus' divine authority and the religious leaders' rejection of him.
