John Gill Commentary Luke 22:63

"And the men that held [Jesus] mocked him, and beat him." — Luke 22:63 (ASV)

And the men that held Jesus
Whilst he was before the sanhedrim; and were either the Roman soldiers, or the servants of the high priest, who kept hold of him all the while, lest he should get away; though there was no reason for it; his time was come, nor would he escape out of their hands, though he could easily have rescued himself:

mocked him ;
insulted him, and gave him very opprobrious language, and used him in a very scurrilous way, and even spit upon him;

and smote him .
This clause is left out in the Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions; the word used, signifies plucking off the skin; they pinched him, and tore off his flesh with their nails; they plucked the hairs of his beard, and the skin of his cheeks along with them, and so fulfilled (Isaiah 50:6) .
