D Fact - Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him." (Joh 19:1).
"Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him." (Joh 19:1). "I offered my back to those who beat Me, /my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard; /I did not hide my face /from mocking and spitting" (Isa 50:6). The whole body of the MTS is cruelly scourged, except for the breast where, hitting, one could cause death. The scourging was given like punishment apart, more abundant (120 strokes) than the normal (39 strokes) as a prelude to crucifixion (Zaninotto 1984).
