John 19 : 1
Scourging was a frightful preliminary to death on the cross. The instrument of punishment was a whip of many thongs, loaded with metal and edged with jagged pieces of bone. Instances are of record in which the condemned died under the lash and so escaped the horrors of living crucifixion. In accordance with the brutal customs of the time, Jesus weak and bleeding from the fearful scourging He had undergone, was given over to the half-savage soldiers for their amusement.
