"And they shall scourge him, and put him to death:and the third day he shall rise again." Pilate washed his hands of responsibility for Jesus' death. Yet he had him scourged.This is senseless.Why would the Romans require a man going to death, to be scourged? Would it awaken all the bodily senses, so that the pain of crucifixion would be more intense? I simply do not get this brutality and cruelty.
