Put a veil around his face. Not in Matthew, but in Luke 22:64 where Revised Version translates περικαλυπσαντες perikalupsantes by “blind-folded.” All three Gospels give the jeering demand of the Sanhedrin: “Prophesy” Matthew 26:67 alludes to their treatment of Jesus without clearly indicating who they were.

The climax of insult. Compare Matthew 5:39; Luke 22:64; Acts 23:2. Also the injunction to a bishop not to be a striker, 1 Timothy 3:3; Titus 1:7. Stanley notes the decree of the Council of Braga, a.d. 675, that no bishop, at his will and pleasure, shall strike his clergy. [source]
