The meaning of Stripes in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
as a punishment were not to exceed forty (Deuteronomy 25:1-3), and hence arose the custom of limiting them to thirty-nine (II Corinthians 11:24). Paul claimed the privilege of a Roman citizen in regard to the infliction of stripes (Acts 16:37,38; 22:25-29). Our Lord was beaten with stripes (Matthew 27:26).
