"...and scourged him..." - John 19:1

Just three words...the mind absorbs them in a second and passes to the next sentence.  The Bible gives no further explanation.  There is no parenthetical statement or footnote explaining what it means.  Most of us read over it for years without really contemplating that word...scourged. It was somehow a part of the crucifixion.  Maybe we heard a preacher say it was some sort of a whipping.  Oh, but it was so much more. [Full-Text of Tract]
