"You have said it." Jesus spoke those words twice in Matthew 26. The first time was to Judas the betrayer, who had spoken openly of the betrayal when he accepted thirty pieces of silver as blood money. No doubt Jesus knew what Judas had said; He was told by the Spirit in the same way He knew what Nathaniel had said under the fig tree in John 1.
The second time, Jesus was referring to what the High Priest had just said: "I demand in the name of the living God—tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God." (Matthew 26:63 NLT) The same simple words: spoken with earth-shaking power.
