Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 22:61-64

"And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said unto him, Before the cock crow this day thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly. And the men that held [Jesus] mocked him, and beat him. And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, Prophesy: who is he that struck thee?" — Luke 22:61-64 (ASV)

And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

Upon this passage, a good man well observes that one of these days, Christ will answer this taunt. With his unerring finger, the Judge of all will point them out and say to each one, "Thou art the man."

There are many of you, perhaps, who are committing sin in private, and you think it is not known. You are almost ready to ask the question of him whom you look upon as a blindfolded God, "Who is it that smote thee?" Ah! But he sees you all the while; he reads the secret thoughts of your hearts, and the day will come when he will let you know that nothing has escaped his all-seeing eye.
