JESUS BEFORE PILATE--SCOURGED--TREATED WITH OTHER SEVERITIES AND INSULTS--DELIVERED UP, AND LED AWAY TO BE CRUCIFIED. (John 19:1-16)
Pilate took Jesus and scourged him--in hope of appeasing them. (See Mar 15:15). "And the soldiers led Him away into the palace, and they call the whole band" (Mar 15:16) --the body of the military cohort stationed there--to take part in the mock coronation now to be enacted. |

Scourged (ἐμαστίγωσεν)
Matthew and Mark use the Greek form of the Latin word flagellare, φραγελλόω, which occurs only in those two instances in the New Testament. John uses the more common Greek word, though he has φραγελλίον (flagellum), scourge, at Joh 2:15. Matthew and Mark, however, both use μαστιγόω elsewhere (Mat 10:17; Mat 20:29; Mar 10:34). Its kindred noun, μάστιξ, occurs several times in the metaphorical sense of a plague. See on Mar 3:10, and compare Mar 5:29, Mar 5:34; Luk 7:21. The verb is used metaphorically only once, Heb 12:6. Scourging was the legal preliminary to crucifixion, but, in this case, was inflicted illegally before the sentence of crucifixion was pronounced, with a view of averting the extreme punishment, and of satisfying the Jews. (Luk 23:22). The punishment was horrible, the victim being bound to a low pillar or stake, and beaten, either with rods, or, in the case of slaves and provincials, with scourges, called scorpions, leather thongs tipped with leaden balls or sharp spikes. The severity of the infliction in Jesus' case is evident from His inability to bear His cross. |

Pilate took Jesus, and scourged him - That is, caused him to be scourged: for we cannot with Bede suppose that he scourged him with his own hand.
As our Lord was scourged by order of Pilate, it is probable he was scourged in the Roman manner, which was much more severe than that of the Jews. The latter never gave more than thirty-nine blows; for the law had absolutely forbidden a man to be abused, or his flesh cut in this chastisement, Deu 25:3. The common method of whipping or flogging in some places, especially that of a military kind, is a disgrace to the nation where it is done, to the laws, and to humanity. See Mat 27:26, and the note there. Though it was customary to scourge the person who was to be crucified, yet it appears that Pilate had another end in view by scourging our Lord. He hoped that this would have satisfied the Jews, and that he might then have dismissed Jesus. This appears from Luk 23:16. |
16 And [1161] the soldiers [4757] led [520] him [846] away [520] into [2080] the hall [833], called [3603] Praetorium [4232]; and [2532] they call together [4779] the whole [3650] band [4686].
15 And [1161] so Pilate [4091], willing [1014] to content [2425] [4160] the people [3793], released [630] Barabbas [912] unto them [846], and [2532] delivered [3860] Jesus [2424], when he had scourged [5417] him, to [2443] be crucified [4717].
26 Then [5119] released he [630] Barabbas [912] unto them [846]: and [1161] when he had scourged [5417] Jesus [2424], he delivered [3860] him to [2443] be crucified [4717].
27 Then [5119] the soldiers [4757] of the governor [2232] took [3880] Jesus [2424] into [1519] the common hall [4232], and gathered [4863] unto [1909] him [846] the whole [3650] band [4686] of soldiers.
28 And [2532] they stripped [1562] him [846], and put on [4060] him [846] a scarlet [2847] robe [5511].
29 And [2532] when they had platted [4120] a crown [4735] of [1537] thorns [173], they put [2007] it upon [1909] his [846] head [2776], and [2532] a reed [2563] in [1909] his [846] right hand [1188]: and [2532] they bowed the knee [1120] before [1715] him [846], and mocked [1702] him [846], saying [3004], Hail [5463], King [935] of the Jews [2453]!
30 And [2532] they spit [1716] upon [1519] him [846], and took [2983] the reed [2563], and [2532] smote [5180] him [846] on [1519] the head [2776].
22 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846] the third time [5154], Why [1063], what [5101] evil [2556] hath [4160] he [3778] done [4160]? I have found [2147] no [3762] cause [158] of death [2288] in [1722] him [846]: I will [3811] therefore [3767] chastise [3811] him [846], and let him go [630].
6 For [1063] whom [3739] the Lord [2962] loveth [25] he chasteneth [3811], and [1161] scourgeth [3146] every [3956] son [5207] whom [3739] he receiveth [3858].
21 And [1161] in [1722] that same [846] hour [5610] he cured [2323] many [4183] of [575] their infirmities [3554] and [2532] plagues [3148], and [2532] of evil [4190] spirits [4151]; and [2532] unto many [4183] that were blind [5185] he gave [5483] sight [991].
34 And [1161] he said [2036] unto her [846], Daughter [2364], thy [4675] faith [4102] hath made [4982] thee [4571] whole [4982]; go [5217] in [1519] peace [1515], and [2532] be [2468] whole [5199] of [575] thy [4675] plague [3148].
29 And [2532] straightway [2112] the fountain [4077] of her [846] blood [129] was dried up [3583]; and [2532] she felt [1097] in her body [4983] that [3754] she was healed [2390] of [575] that plague [3148].
10 For [1063] he had healed [2323] many [4183]; insomuch that [5620] they pressed upon [1968] him [846] for to [2443] touch [680] him [846], as many as [3745] had [2192] plagues [3148].
34 And [2532] they shall mock [1702] him [846], and [2532] shall scourge [3146] him [846], and [2532] shall spit upon [1716] him [846], and [2532] shall kill [615] him [846]: and [2532] the third [5154] day [2250] he shall rise again [450].
29 And [2532] as they [846] departed [1607] from [575] Jericho [2410], a great [4183] multitude [3793] followed [190] him [846].
17 But [1161] beware [4337] of [575] men [444]: for [1063] they will deliver [3860] you [5209] up [3860] to [1519] the councils [4892], and [2532] they will scourge [3146] you [5209] in [1722] their [846] synagogues [4864];
15 And [2532] when he had made [4160] a scourge [5416] of [1537] small cords [4979], he drove [1544] them all [3956] out of [1537] the temple [2411], and [5037] the sheep [4263], and [2532] the oxen [1016]; and [2532] poured out [1632] the changers [2855]' money [2772], and [2532] overthrew [390] the tables [5132];
15 And [1161] so Pilate [4091], willing [1014] to content [2425] [4160] the people [3793], released [630] Barabbas [912] unto them [846], and [2532] delivered [3860] Jesus [2424], when he had scourged [5417] him, to [2443] be crucified [4717].
26 Then [5119] released he [630] Barabbas [912] unto them [846]: and [1161] when he had scourged [5417] Jesus [2424], he delivered [3860] him to [2443] be crucified [4717].
16 I will [3811] therefore [3767] chastise [3811] him [846], and release [630] him.
26 Then [5119] released he [630] Barabbas [912] unto them [846]: and [1161] when he had scourged [5417] Jesus [2424], he delivered [3860] him to [2443] be crucified [4717].
3 Forty [0705] stripes [05221] he may give him, and not exceed [03254]: lest, if he should exceed [03254], and beat [05221] him above these with many [07227] stripes [04347], then thy brother [0251] should seem vile [07034] [05869] unto thee.
