Matthew 26:63-65
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
63 But Jesus was being silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I am putting You under oath[a] by the living God that You tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God”. 64 Jesus says to him, “You said[b] it. Nevertheless, I say to you— from-now-on[c] you will see the Son of Man sitting on the right side of the Power[d], and coming on the clouds[e] of heaven”. 65 Then the high priest tore his garments, saying, “He blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? See— now you heard the blasphemy.

- Matthew 26:64 Jesus answers them as He did Judas in v 25. Some think it simply means ‘Yes’. Others think its meaning depends on the context. In any case, Jesus does not leave His meaning at all unclear, because He goes on to say ‘Nevertheless’. No matter what you think, I say to you. Then He directly and unequivocally states that He is exactly the Messiah coming in power and glory to carry out judgment that they were expecting. Mk 14:62 says ‘I am’, giving the intent of what is said here.
