Context of Matthew 26:68
66Do you think that he is guilty?’ They replied, ‘He is guilty and he deserves to die.’ 67Then some of them spat into Jesus' face. They also hit him with their fists. When they hit him, they said, ‘Messiah! Show us that you are a prophet. Tell us who hit you!’ 69While all these things were happening, Peter was sitting outside in the yard. One of the girls who worked there went to him and she said, ‘You were also a friend of Jesus, the man from Galilee.’ 70Peter said in front of everyone who was there, ‘That is not true. 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. Having prevented his seeing, they ridiculed his pretensions of being the Messiah.

- 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
