'Jests' from the play Romeo & Juliet means "makes jokes" and is used in the quote, 'He jests at scars that never felt a wound.' What is meant here is that, Mercutio is laughing/sneering at Romeo's short lived love for Rosaline and Romeo thinks that Mercutio who has never experienced love himself laughs at Romeo's experiences in love when really he has no right.
