A.T. Robertson Commentary
"And the men that held [Jesus] mocked him, and beat him." — Luke 22:63 (ASV)
That held (ο συνεχοντες). See on 8:45; 19:43 for this verb συνεχω. Here alone in the N.T. for holding a prisoner (holding together). The servants or soldiers, not the Sanhedrin.
Mocked (ενεπαιζον). Imperfect active, were mocking, inchoative, began to mock, to play like boys.
And beat him (δεροντες). Present active participle of δερω, to flay, tan, or hide. Literally, "beating."
