Scourging


(1 Kings 12:11). Variously administered. In no case were the stripes to exceed forty (Deut. 25:3; comp. 2 Cor. 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 [555]BASTINADO.) In the scourging of our Lord (Matt. 27:26; Mark 15:15) the words of prophecy (Isa. 53:5) were fulfilled.
