Luke 22:65
"Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”"
Key Reflection
In this passage, Jesus' disciples are falsely accused, with their blindness metaphorically representing their lack of insight into his true identity as the Messiah. The act of striking him on the face underscores the physical and spiritual violence done to one who speaks truth, mirroring the eventual treatment he would receive during his trial and crucifixion.
