In Matthew chapter 26 verse 64 was Jesus saying that He would one day be their judge?

To better understand the judgement we must step back a bit.
The point of Jesus was not to judge. "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." -John 3:17
Because the condemnation was already present. "...but he that believeth not is condemned already..." -John 3:17
Again it is pointed out that Jesus did not come to judge, but if someone did not believe what he was teaching the Father would judge in the last day.
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. -John 12:47-48
And what did he say? Much and also "Judge not, that ye be not judged." -Matt 7:1
The lesson. "For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged." -1 Corinthians 11:31 (Luke 18:9-14)
So the answer is No. In Matthew chapter 26 verse 64 Jesus was not saying that He would one day be their judge.

I wouldn't say that that scripture was saying that one day Jesus would be their judge, although there are scriptures to support it such as Acts 17:31
"Because he has set a day on which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has provided a guarantee to all men by resurrecting him from the dead.”
God has appointed a man to judge. That man is Jesus. John 5:22:
"For the Father judges no one at all, but he has entrusted all the judging to the Son"
Jesus knew ahead of time their intent and was telling his captors that he was going to sit at the right hand of God.
I think you could be both correct Cecil. Jesus was sitting on his throne at the right of God until God put his enemies at his feet as a footstool. At that point Jesus would start judging. Matthew 22:44
‘Jehovah said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies beneath your feet”’
This would happen after Jesus's death. Jesus at that time was not on earth to judge. He had 4 goals.
- First and Foremost the Sanctification and glorification of God's name.
- The preaching and teaching work. Teaching people about true worship and God.
- Baptizing and making disciples.
- Ransom sacrifice through his death. Gave people the opportunity to accept his sacrifice and live.
after these were accomplished his purpose changed. He was to sit at the right hand of God until such a time that God would choose for him to rule his Kingdom. 2 Timothy 4:1
"I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his manifestation and his Kingdom"
Once again I reiterate that you are both correct in your understandings.
