The Scourging
Mark 15:12-15
MARK 15:12-15
Pilate answered and said to them again, " What then do
you want me to do with Him whom you call the King of
the Jews?"13 So they cried out again, " Crucify
Him!"14 Then Pilate said to them, " Why, what evil has
He done?"But they cried out all the more, " Crucify
Him!"15 So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd,
released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after
he had scourged Him, to be crucified.

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN A SCOURGING?
The historian Eusebius of Caesarea recounts a scene of
scourging. He says,
“For they say that the bystanders were struck with
amazement when they saw them lacerated with scourges
even to the innermost veins and arteries, so that the
hidden inward parts of the body, both their bowels and
their members, were exposed to view”
(Ecclesiastical History, Book 4, chap. 15).
WHAT IS INVOLVED IN A SCOURGING?
What Christ endured during the scourging alone was
incredible.
Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene,
Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross.
Matthew 27:32
WHAT IS INVOLVED IN A SCOURGING?
What Christ endured during the scourging alone was
incredible.
So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. 2 And the
soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His
head, and they put on Him a purple robe.
John 19:1-2

4 Pilate then went out again, and said to them, " Behold,
I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I
find no fault in Him.“ 5 Then Jesus came out, wearing
the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said
to them, " Behold the Man!"

6 Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw
Him, they cried out, saying, " Crucify Him, crucify
Him!"Pilate said to them, " You take Him and crucify
Him, for I find no fault in Him."7 The Jews answered
him, " We have a law, and according to our law He
ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of
God."8 Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was
the more afraid, John 19:4-8

9 and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus,
" Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no
answer.10 Then Pilate said to Him, "Are You not
speaking to me? Do You not know that I have power to
crucify You, and power to release You?"

11 Jesus answered, " You could have no power at all
against Me unless it had been given you from above.
Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the
greater sin.“

Pilate’s final plea for Christ’s release
From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews
cried out, saying, " If you let this Man go, you are not
Caesar's friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks
against Caesar."13 When Pilate therefore heard that
saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the
judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement,
but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and
about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, " Behold
your King!"15 But they cried out, "Away with Him,
away with Him! Crucify Him!“ Pilate said to them,
"Shall I crucify your King?“ The chief priests answered,
"We have no king but Caesar!"16 Then he delivered
Him to them to be crucified. Then they took Jesus and
led Him away.
