So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd released Barabbas to them and, after he had Jesus scourged, handed him over to be crucified.
Mark 15, 15
The Roman procurator, Pilate, orders Jesus to be whipped and beaten.
The first step for quick Roman justice. We can picture the soldiers carrying out this command.
Jesus was badly beaten by the soldiers. He silently accepted this sorrow and
pain out of love for all mankind>
