Mark 14:65 “Then some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers struck Him with the palms of their hands.”
This wasn’t the judgement of a criminal, but the humiliation of an opponent. There was no shame, no sense of pity, no mercy for the condemned. As Jesus himself said, this was the hour of the power of darkness. Nothing else explains the sick vengeance being attempted upon the person of Christ.
Heavenly Father, thank you for Christ! What mercy! You love us so much that you allowed this to happen. What a wonder! Thank you! All honor and glory and power be to the Lord Jesus! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
