And they said many other insulting things to Him. - Luke 22:65
Luke really wants us to know how badly you were treated. He goes into a little detail about what they said and takes three sentences to basically say, "They insulted Him and beat Him."
My guess is that Luke really wants us to feel what You were going through. It wasn't just the physical beating that You took, but also the mental that was difficult. Luke really does paint a picture of everyone being against You, which in part makes us appreciate even more what You did.
If I was a gospel writer, trying to convert others with my story, I think I would highlight what You did here too. This is how much You love us. This is how much You were willing to go through. This is how some people felt about You. Ooooh, I wonder if part of Luke's thinking was, "You who don't believe - don't be like these guards."
Whatever his thinking, I think Luke does a good job of getting the point across. You would do anything for us!
