Context of Matthew 26:68
66What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered. 67Then they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?” 69Meanwhile, Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came up to him. “You also were with Jesus the Galilean,” she said. 70But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”

Commentaries on Matthew 26:68
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 68Prophesy unto us, thou Christ - Their conduct toward him now was expressly prophesied of, by a man whose Divine mission they did not pretend to deny; see Isaiah 50:6. It appears that, before they buffeted him, they bound up his eyes, See Mark 14:65.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 68Saying, Prophesy unto us - Mark informs us that before they said this they had blindfolded him.

The word “prophesy” does not mean only to foretell future events, although…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 57-68Verses 57-68 Jesus was hurried into Jerusalem. It looks ill, and bodes worse, when those who are willing to be Christ's disciples, are not willing to be known to be so. Here began Peter's denying him: for to follow Christ afar off, is to begin to go back from him. It is more our concern to prepare for the end, whatever it may be, than curiously to ask what the end will be. The event is God's, but the duty is ours. Now the Scriptures were fulfilled, which…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 67-68This abuse fulfills the prophecies in Isaiah 50:6 and 53:4–9. Jesus himself prophesied these things (Matthew 16:21; 17:22–23; 20:18–19; 26:2; see also Mark 14:65).Read the comment
