This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 26:67. Τότε, κ.τ.λ., then, etc.) As if no outrage would now be unjust towards Him. The elders insult Him with greater subtlety, the multitude more grossly. He who assails the honour of God, deserves every contumely. Such an one they considered Jesus to be.-ἐκολάφισαν, they struck Him) with the fist, with the hand.-ἐῤῥάπισαν, they smote Him) with rods, for the attendants carried these. See Mar 14:65. Chrysostom observes, οὐδὲν ταύτης τῆς πληγῆς ἀτιμότερον, nothing is more disgraceful than this blow.
