Luke 22:64

‘And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, “Prophesy, who is he who struck you?” '

These men had never had a self-proclaimed prophet in their hands before, and it was too good an opportunity to miss. They decided that they would discover whether He really was a prophet. So they blindfolded Him, and in turn struck Him, and called out, ‘Come on. Prophesy who struck you.' They had the common man's view of a prophet, that he had a supernatural ability to discern whatever he wanted.
