Why did Jesus lie about the Caiaphas prophecy?

Question

During his trial in front of Caiaphas Jesus the liar falsely prophesied that his Second Coming would happen within the lifetime of Caiaphas, i.e. while Caiaphas the high priest was still alive (Matthew 26:64). Guess what? Almost two thousand years have passed since Caiaphas has no longer been alive- and STILL NO JESUS!!!

And as for those diehard Christian Fundies who told me "maybe Caiaphas is still ALIVE", sorry, but Caiaphas really is dead- a photo of his tomb made the cover of the Sept/Oct 1992 Biblical Archaeology Review.

Once again, false prophecies by Jesus prove Jesus a false prophet, as Jesus did not return within Caiaphas’ lifetime as promised.

In fact the world is still waiting to see Christ and will go on waiting. His return keeps getting pushed back. LOL

Answer 1

i am still wondering why a god would have to leave--get real-a god having to do anything-guess i have a different defination of a god-----just my thoughts-smile and enjoy the day

Answer 2

The only liar here is you -- because Matthew 26:64 does not say what you claim it says.

The verse has Jesus telling Caiaphas, "But I tell you: From now on you will see 'the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power' and 'coming on the clouds of heaven.'"

Nothing there about Jesus returning to earth in Caiaphas' lifetime. It simply said that Caiaphas would see the Son of Man in power and glory at some point -- either in this life, or in the next.

Answer 3

I read the text again and I'm afraid I don't understand your question. Jesus makes a general statement that Caiaphas will, in the future, see the Son of Man at the right hand of the Mighty One. And he will. So will everyone else. When Jesus returns, it will be revealed to all, the living and the dead. What's the 'lie' you're accusing Jesus of telling?

Answer 4

Jesus NEVER told Caiaphas that he would have His Second coming in Caiaphas' lifetime. What Matt. 26:64 (The relating of Jesus' trial by the Sanhedrin) ACTUALLY says is, "Jesus said to him in reply, You have said so. But I tell you: From now on you will see the 'Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power' and 'coming on the clouds of Heaven.'""
Although Jesus DID rise from the dead after three days during the lifetime of Caiaphas.

Answer 5

I will answer with Scripture

Revelation 1:7 KJV
"Behold, He cometh with clouds;
and every eye shall see Him,
and they also which pierced Him -----------Caiaphas
and all kindreds of the earth shall wail
because of Him. Even so, Amen."

No where does it say in the Bible that Jesus would return in Caiaphas' lifetime. But as the verse says, Caiaphas will see Jesus when Jesus returns.

You read the Bible as Scripture tells you to read it - "line upon line, precept upon precept, and here a little and there a little."

Answer 6

In my Bible it says that Christ was slain and resurrected 4 days later, well within the lifetime of Caiaphas. He was on the Earth for 40 days after that before his ascension, also most likely within the lifespan of Caiaphas.

Also, it's likely that Christ likely returned to earth via cloud rather than by another form of transportation, ie. donkey. Although flying angelic donkeys would be quite a visual...

Answer 7

Hmmm here is that verse.

Jesus replied, “You have said it. And in the future you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Where did Jesus said that he would still be alive and he would come in his Caiaphas's lifetime?
He said in the future he would see. It will probably be around judgement day when every knee will bow.
We will all see His glory at that time.

Interesting way to twist the scriptures.

Answer 8

Judas was on the cross, the false prophet caiaphas prophesied Jesus would die for our sins Jesus said he came to have mercy not sacrafice and no one would rise from the dead God is God of the living not the dead

Answer 9

If you say Jesus lied, then you agree that he was a real person who lived...yes?
So since we both believed he lived, we will have to both believe that he is no liar...yes????
Matthew 26:64 says
Jesus saith to him: Thou hast said it. Nevertheless I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
I am surprised that a Christian here haven't slammed you against the wall and stuffed these words down your throat. I am Muslim, but I believe in The Prophet Jesus and Matthew 26:64 is straightforward and no lie. Now I don't think you would like being slammed by a Muslim woman...would you??? Then for God's sake...grow up!

Answer 10

You are right Jesus is not back yet. But when He does come Caiaphas will see Him sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of Heaven. No lie.

Answer 11

Well, what he said (assuming the gospel writer quoted him accurately) was that "you will see the Son of Man..."etc

We have no way of knowing what Caiphas did or did not see in his own lifetime.

And one might suggest that the Resurrection of Christ (a mere three days later) more than fulfilled that prophecy.

If, in fact, it was a prophecy.

With all due respect, I don't think it proves anything
