| A-1 | Noun | Strong's Number: g5416 | Greek: phragellion |
Scourge (Noun and Verb):
"a whip" (from Latin, flagellum), is used of the "scourge" of small cords which the Lord made and employed before cleansing the Temple, Jhn 2:15. However He actually used it, the whip was in itself a sign of authority and judgment.
| B-1 | Verb | Strong's Number: g5417 | Greek: phragelloo |
Scourge (Noun and Verb):
(akin to A: Latin, flagello; Eng., "flagellate"), is the word used in Mat 27:26; Mar 15:15, of the "scourging" endured by Christ and administered by the order of Pilate. Under the Roman method of "scourging," the person was stripped and tied in a bending posture to a pillar, or stretched on a frame. The "scourge" was made of leather thongs, weighted with sharp pieces of bone or lead, which tore the flesh of both the back and the breast (cp. Psa 22:17). Eusebius (Chron.) records his having witnessed the suffering of martyrs who died under this treatment.
Note: In Jhn 19:1 the "scourging" of Christ is described by Verb No. 2, as also in His prophecy of His sufferings, Mat 20:19; Mar 10:34; Luk 18:33. In Act 22:25 the similar punishment about to be administered to Paul is described by Verb No. 3 (the "scourging" of Roman citizens was prohibited by the Porcian law of 197, B.C.).
| B-2 | Verb | Strong's Number: g3146 | Greek: mastigoo |
Scourge (Noun and Verb):
akin to mastix (see below), is used
(a) as mentioned under No. 1;
(b) of Jewish "scourgings," Mat 10:17; 23:34;
(c) metaphorically, in Hbr 12:6, of the "chastening" by the Lord administered in love to His spiritual sons.
Note: The Jewish method of "scourging," as described in the Mishna, was by the use of three thongs of leather, the offender receiving thirteen stripes on the bare breast and thirteen on each shoulder, the "forty stripes save one," as administered to Paul five times (2Cr 11:24).
