Living in the Light of the Gospel of John #7
“Pilate took Jesus and had Him whipped. The soldiers, having braided a crown from thorns, set it on His head, threw a purple robe over Him, and approached Him with, ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ Then they greeted Him with slaps in the face.”(John 19:1-3 The Message Bible) Jesus was whipped with stout leather thongs attached to a heavy handle.
