Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 22:67

"If thou art the Christ, tell us. But he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:" — Luke 22:67 (ASV)

Art thou the Christ?—St. Luke passes over the earlier stages of the trial, the false-witnesses that did not agree, the charge of threatening to destroy the Temple, and the silence of Jesus until solemnly adjured.

If I tell you, ye will not believe.—The answer is reported only by St. Luke. It is interpreted by what we find in St. John. Our Lord had told them (John 8:58; John 10:30), and they had not believed.
