- Isaiah 50:6 (allusion): Prophetic motif of submitting to blows and spitting—used in the Passion tradition as an Old Testament foil to Jesus' sufferings.
- Psalm 22:7-8 (allusion): Psalmist's depiction of being mocked and scorned by onlookers forms a prophetic backdrop for Gospel accounts of Jesus' derision and abuse.

Parallels
- Matthew 26:67-68 (verbal): Guards/insulters strike and mock Jesus and say, “Prophesy… Who is it that struck you?” — closely parallels Luke’s wording and taunting scene.
- Mark 14:65 (verbal): Pericope with blindfolding, striking, and the taunt “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?” — a near verbal parallel to Luke’s mockery episode.
- Luke 23:35-36 (thematic): Later mockery at the crucifixion where rulers and soldiers deride Jesus (‘He saved others; let him save himself’ / mock him) — continues the theme of taunting and challenge to demonstrate prophecy/deliverance.
- Psalm 22:7-8 (allusion): The psalm’s imagery of being mocked and taunted (‘All who see me mock me… “He trusted in the LORD; let the LORD deliver him”’) provides an Old Testament backdrop to the New Testament taunts demanding a display of prophetic power.

- Psalm 22:7-8 (allusion): The psalmist's depiction of scorn and jeering ('He trusts in the LORD; let Him deliver him') is echoed in Gospel accounts of the mockery Jesus endures, a backdrop for interpreting Gospel taunts.
