sā´est : "Thou sayest" ( Matthew 27:11; Mark 15:2; Luke 22:70 , "Ye say"; John 18:37 ), i.e. rightly; "Thou hast said" (Matthew 26:25 , Matthew 26:64 ), = "Yes"; a rabbinical idiom never found in the Old Testament. Mark (Mark 14:62 ) renders by "I am." All these passages WHm punctuate interrogatively (compare Kethūbhōth , f. 103 b).
