It signifies the deep rejection and scorn Jesus faced from the religious leaders and others present.They blindfolded Him, Blindfolding Jesus was a way to mock His prophetic abilities.

This act underscores the irony of the situation, as Jesus, the true prophet, was being mocked for His divine insight.struck Him with their fists, Physical violence against Jesus highlights the brutality and injustice of the trial. It reflects the fulfillment of prophecies such as <a href="/isaiah/53-3.htm">Isaiah 53:3-5</a>, which speaks of the Messiah being despised and afflicted. This treatment was illegal according to Jewish law, which prohibited such abuse before a formal conviction.and said to Him, “Prophesy!” The demand for Jesus to prophesy while blindfolded was a form of ridicule, challenging His identity as a prophet.

Their taunt was a denial of His messianic role and divine knowledge.And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.
