Luke 22:64-65

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 22:63-71

We are here told, as before in the other gospels, I. How our Lord Jesus was abused by the servants of the high priest. The abjects, the rude and barbarous servants, gathered themselves together against him. They that held Jesus, that had him in custody till the court sat, they mocked him, and smote him (Luke 22:63), they would not allow him to repose himself one minute, though he had had no sleep all night, nor to compose himself, though he was hurried to his trial, and no time given him to... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 22:63-71

22:63-71 The men who were holding Jesus mocked him and beat him. They blindfolded him and asked him, "Prophesy! Who is it who hit you?" And many another insulting word they spoke to him. And when it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people came together, the chief priests and the scribes; and they led him away to the Sanhedrin, saying, "Tell us if you are God's anointed one." He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe me; if I ask you, you will not answer. But from... read more

And when they had blindfolded him ,.... Or put a veil, or linen cloth over his eyes, as children do at play, to make themselves some sport with him: they struck him on the face ; on that part of it which was not covered, either with their hands, or with rods: and asked him, saying, prophesy, who is it that smote thee ? hereby deriding his prophetic office, and using such language as children do at blindman's buff; See Gill on Matthew 26:68 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:65

And many other things blasphemously spake they ,.... As denying and ridiculing his deity, and divine sonship; mocking at, and burlesquing his offices, of prophet, priest, and king; asserting him to be a mere man, and a very wicked one; a profane sinner, a glutton, and a winebibber; a sabbath breaker, a blasphemer, and a seditious person; and one that had a devil, or dealt with familiar spirits: and thus spake they against him ; his person, office, and character. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 22:54-71

Christ's trials in the high priest's palace. The agony of Gethsemane is over, and our Lord has met his enemies in the calmness of real courage. He allows himself to be led to the palace of the high priest, and we have now to consider all the trials through which he passed there. The first of these is from Peter. Love to the Master keeps the disciple in the train of the procession, and even leads him to linger without until through John's good offices he gets into the hall. But, alas!... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 22:63-64

The patience of Christ. In these touching words, which we cannot read without a sentiment of shame as members of the human race, we have— I. A PICTURE OF SUPREME ENDURANCE . How much our Lord was called upon to endure, we shall be best able to realize when we consider: 1 . The greatness of which he was conscious (see Luke 22:70 ). He knew and felt that he had a right to the most reverent homage of the best and highest, and was thus treated by the worst and lowest. 2 .... read more

And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? The Jews, in this terrible scene, were unconsciously working out a literal fulfillment of Isaiah's picture of the righteous Sufferer ( Isaiah 1:6 ; Isaiah 53:3-7 ). read more

Luke 22:63-65. And the men that held Jesus mocked him What has just been related concerning Peter, passed while the priests examined Jesus, of which examination, before Luke gives an account, he mentions the following remarkable circumstance, namely, that the men who held Jesus mocked him and smote him. And when they had blindfolded him, struck him on the face These circumstances are placed by Matthew and Mark after the council’s condemning him. Perhaps he was abused in the same manner... read more
