What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
Having rent therefore his clothes, he saith, "What think ye?" He gives not the sentence from himself, but invites it from them, as in a case of confessed sins, and manifest blasphemy. For, inasmuch as they knew that if the thing came to be inquired into, and carefully decided, it would free Him from all blame, they condemn Him amongst themselves, and anticipate the hearers by saying, "Ye have heard the blasphemy;" all but necessitating and forcing them to deliver the sentence. What then say they? …
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
Then he seeks the sentence: what think you? But they answering, said: He is guilty of death, according to the judgment of the law. And this would be true if he were a blasphemer; but he was not, and therefore they judge wrongly, because they condemn the author of life to death; 1 Corinthians 15:22: for as by Adam death came to all men, so also by Jesus life.
