MATTHEW 26:67 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,”
Then they spit in his face and struck him. And some slapped him. The physical abuse of Jesus — spitting, striking, slapping — is the human contempt for the one who claimed divine identity. The spitting in the face echoes Isaiah 50:6 (I gave my cheeks to those who pull out the beard; I hid not my face from disgrace and spitting) — the Servant's suffering fulfilling the prophetic script.
