Okay, there are two accounts of the blindfold, one in the Gospel of Mark and the other in Luke...
Mark 14:65 Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.
Luke 22:64 They blindfolded him and demanded, “Prophesy! Who hit you?”
Some context from Mark:
Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
63 The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. 64 “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”
They all condemned him as worthy of death. 65 Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.
So it's a vague "They" in Mark and almost sounds like a reference to the "jury" ("all" can still mean a subset), and not necessarily the guards, which are mentioned after. It says "some began to spit at him", but it's really not clear if it was the spitters, or the next group that they are talking about, that blindfolded him. They didn't use commas in those days, which is why it is incredibly difficult to know where one thought or section ends and another begins.
Not enough info to make a determination, so it all depends on who's doing the interpretation of the Bible passage (and how the illustrator further interprets that).
Some context from Luke:
63 The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him. 64 They blindfolded him and demanded, “Prophesy! Who hit you?” 65 And they said many other insulting things to him.
And it's more explicitly the guards, in Luke.
It doesn't strike me as a reference to the Jews so I'm wondering if this idea that Jews blindfolded him is the usual confusion between Romans and Jews as though they were all the same.
