Scourging:

(1Ki 12:11). Variously administered. In no case were the stripes to exceed forty (Deu 25:3; 2Cr 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 (Act 16:22-37). (See BASTINADO.) In the scourging of our Lord (Mat 27:26; Mar 15:15) the words of prophecy (Isa 53:5) were fulfilled.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Scourging:

The punishment of scourging was common among the Jews. The instrument of punishment in ancient Egypt, as it is also in modern times generally in the East, was usually the stick, applied to the soles of the feet-bastinado. Under the Roman method the culprit was stripped, stretched with cords or thongs on a frame and beaten with rods (Another form of the scourge consisted of a handle with three lashes or thongs of leather or cord, sometimes with pieces of metal fastened to them. Roman citizens were exempt by their law from scourging.).
