What does Mark 14:64 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
64. Ye have heard the blasphemy--(See Joh 10:33). In Luke (Lu 22:71), "For we ourselves have heard of His own mouth"--an affectation of religious horror. (Also see on Joh 18:28.) what think ye?--"Say what the verdict is to be." they all condemned him to be guilty of death--or of a capital crime, which blasphemy against God was according to the Jewish law (Le 24:16). Yet not absolutely all; for Joseph of Arimathea, "a good man and a just," was one of that Council, and "he was not a consenting party to the counsel and deed of them," for that is the strict sense of the words of Lu 23:50, 51. Probably he absented himself, and Nicodemus also, from this meeting of the Council, the temper of which they would know too well to expect their voice to be listened to; and in that case, the words of our Evangelist are to be taken strictly, that, without one dissentient voice, "all [present] condemned him to be guilty of death." The Blessed One Is Now Shamefully Entreated (Mr 14:65). Every word here must be carefully observed, and the several accounts put together, that we may lose none of the awful indignities about to be described.

Great diligence was used to procure false witnesses against Jesus, yet their testimony was not equal to the charge of a capital crime, by the utmost stretch of their law. He was asked, Art thou the…
