Contextual Overview
63The church marshals who were guarding Jesus beat him up and made fun of him.
64They would blindfold him and then hit him. They would say, "If you know everything, then tell us who hit you!"
65They didn't stop there. They did many other insulting things to him.
66When the sun rose, the council of leaders, head preachers, and experts on the code of Moses, gathered together for Jesus's trial. They brought Jesus in front of them and questioned him,
67"Answer the council this, are you the Top Hand who will save us all?"Jesus replied, "You wouldn't be able to see the truth if it was standing right in front of you.
68If I asked y'all that same question about me, you wouldn't answer it either.
69But from here on out, the Top Hand will be riding at the right hand of God himself."
70They all looked around at each other and then asked, "So you're saying that you are the Son of God?"Jesus said, "You said it right. I AM."
71"Why do we need anybody else to testify?" they asked. "We just heard everything we need to string him up."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Saying, art thou the Christ,.... The Messiah, promised and prophesied of by Moses, and all the prophets, and long expected by us: "tell us". The Ethiopic version adds, openly; tell us frankly, freely, plainly, as in John 10:24.
And he said unto them, if I tell you, you will not believe. The Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions read, "will not believe me"; neither what he said, nor that he was the Messiah; they were determined not to believe in him, and receive him as such; their unbelief was wilful, obstinate, and invincible: they were proof against all arguments, evidence, and demonstration itself.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the notes at Matthew 26:57-68.
