Theological / Devotional

Scourged him. Chapter 19 continues the narrative begun in ch. 18:39. This was the first flogging. Jesus was flogged again in connection with the sentence of crucifixion (see on Matt. 27:26). The purpose of the first flogging was to elicit, if possible, the compassion of the bloodthirsty mob (see DA 735).
