On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Then, as the same Josephus doth witness, king Agrippa made Ismael, the son of Phebeus, priest. But when he was sent by the people to Rome about a certain suit, and was kept there by Popea, wife to Nero, Agrippa putteth in his place one Josephus, whose name was Chabus, the son of Simon.

John Calvin· Commentaries, 1554reformed

Our Lord Jesus was thus despitefully used in this court, by one of the servants ( John xviii. 22 ), as was foretold, Mic. v. 1 , They shall smite the Judge of Israel upon the cheek. But here was an order of court for the doing of it, and, it is likely, it was done.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

But for a judge thus to treat a prisoner on his "trial," for merely prefacing his defense by a protestation of his integrity, was infamous. God shall smite thee--as indeed He did; for he was killed by an assassin during the Jewish war [JOSEPHUS, Wars of the Jews, 2.17.9]. thou whited wall--that is, hypocrite (Mt 23:27).
