Modern commentators have speculated about the scourge based on the Greco-Roman literary evidence and later relics. But do these bring us closer to the scourging of Jesus, or not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Romans carried out many corporal punishments, including flagellation, which were part of criminal law and used in domestic, military, and public domains. Sources attest to different types of beating instruments, including the\u00a0lorum\u00a0(whip),\u00a0habena\u00a0(strap),\u00a0scutica\u00a0(lash),\u00a0stimulus\u00a0(goad),\u00a0fustis\u00a0(staff)\u00a0virga\u00a0(rod),\u00a0catenae\u00a0(chains) and, finally, the\u00a0flagrum\u00a0and\u00a0flagellum\u00a0(scourge). Milder punishments also existed, such as the\u00a0<em>ferula\u00a0<\/em>(stick) that schoolteachers used. At home, the master could choose between the stick, lash, and scourge to beat his slaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Scourging of Christ<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asor.org\/anetoday\/2018\/12\/What-Do-We-Know-About-Scourging-Jesus\/\">https:\/\/www.asor.org\/anetoday\/2018\/12\/What-Do-We-Know-About-Scourging-Jesus\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/larryjortega.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Brick-Wall-Ladder-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4286 lazyload\" width=\"289\" height=\"289\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 289px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 289\/289;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/larryjortega.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Brick-Wall-Ladder-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4286\" width=\"289\" height=\"289\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The prisoner swap exchanges the guilty for the innocent. &#8220;Give Us Barabbas, portrays the innocence of the lamb sacrificed.
