after blindfolding him

"after they covered his eyes so that he could not see"

Prophesy! Who is the one that hit you?

The guards did not believe that Jesus was a prophet. Rather they believed that a real prophet would know who hit him even if he could not see it. They called Jesus a prophet, but they wanted to show that he was not a prophet. Alternate translation: “Prove that you are a prophet. Tell us who hit you” or “Hey prophet, who hit you?” (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-irony)

Prophesy!

"Speak words from God!" The implied information is that God would have to tell Jesus who struck him since Jesus was blindfolded and could not see. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
