The meaning of Scourging in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
(I Kings 12:11). Variously administered. In no case were the stripes to exceed forty (Deuteronomy 25:3; Compare II Corinthians 11:24). In the time of the apostles, in consequence of the passing of what was called the Porcian law, no Roman citizen could be scourged in any case (Acts 16:22-37). (See BASTINADO .) In the scourging of our Lord (Matthew 27:26; Mark 15:15) the words of prophecy (Isaiah 53:5) were fulfilled.
