Saying, Prophesy unto us, you Christ, Who is he that struck you?
All Commentaries on Matthew 26:68 Go To Matthew 26
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Quaest. Ev., i, 44: That, “they did spit in his face,” signifies those who reject His proffered grace. They likewise buffet Him who prefer their own honour to Him; and they smite Him on the face, who, blinded with unbelief, affirm that He is not yet come, disowning and rejecting His person.
