Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 26:68

Mark hath much the same, Ch. 14.65. And some began to spit on him, and to cover his Face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, P[illegible: 1 letter]ophesie: And the Servants did strike him with the Palms of their hands. Tho there be nothing more Barbarous, and Inhumane, than to add to the Affliction of the afflicted; yet this is no more, than we ordinarily see done by a Rabble of brutish People; spitting in the Face, was but an ordinary Token of Contempt, Numb. 12.14. Deut. 25.9. And perhaps in all these Indignities, Isaiah was a Type of Christ, Is. 50.6. if that Text be not to be understood of Christ immediately. In the mean time it lets us see, that there is no Degree, or Mark of C[illegible: 2 letters]tempt▪ or Shame, or Suffering, which we ought to decline, and Grudge at, for the Name of Christ; who tho much more Excellent than us▪ yet for our sake endured the Cross, and Despised the Shame.
