22:63-71 Those that condemned Jesus for a blasphemer, were the vilest blasphemers. He referred them to his second coming, for the full proof of his being the Christ, to their confusion, since they would not admit the proof of it to their conviction. He owns himself to be the Son of God, though he knew he should suffer for it. Upon this they ground his condemnation. Their eyes being blinded, they rush on.

[64. Τίς ἐστιν, who is it?) To not a few, who are more desirous from their heart to escape observation than was that wanton mass, composed of the scum of mankind, it shall hereafter at last be said, THOU ART THE MAN (who smote the Saviour): even though the matter (this final award) is about to be put off until the last day.—V. g.]
Verse 64. - And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smotethee? The Jews, in this terrible scene (see, too, for further details of the outrages, Matthew 26:67; Mark 14:65), were unconsciously working out a literal fulfillment of Isaiah's picture of the righteous Sufferer ( Isaiah 1:6; Isaiah 53:3-7).
