Commentary on Matthew 26:67

Theological / Devotional

Spit in his face. This the prophet Isaiah had predicted (see Isa. 50:6). Mark and Luke add that Jesus was blindfolded (Mark 14:65; Luke 22:64). The indignities mentioned in Matt. 26:67, 68 took place after the close of the night trial, in a guardroom (see DA 710) adjoining the chamber in which the Sanhedrin met, and where Jesus was held for the formal day trial (see on v. 57).
