- Exodus 21:20
If a man strikes his manservant or maidservant with a rod, and the servant dies by his hand, he shall surely be punished.
- Leviticus 19:20
If a man lies carnally with a slave girl promised to another man but who has not been redeemed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment. But they are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed.
- Deuteronomy 22:18
Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 22:181 voice
And the elders of that city shall take the man, and chastise him. Not with words, but blows. Jarchi interprets it of beating, and so does the Talmud (x); and both the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan render it,"shall beat him;'' that is, with the beating or scourging of forty stripes, save one. (x) T. Bab. Cetubot, fol. 46. 1.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Deuteronomy 25:2
If the guilty man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall have him lie down and be flogged in his presence with the number of lashes his crime warrants.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 25:21 voice
And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten,.... There were four kinds of death criminals were put to by the Jews, stoning, strangling, burning, and slaying with the sword; and such crimes not as severe as these were punished with beating or scourging; and who they were that were worthy to be beaten is at large set forth in the Misnic treatise called Maccoth (x), or "stripes", which are too many to be transcribed.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Deuteronomy 25:3
He may receive no more than forty lashes, lest your brother be beaten any more than that and be degraded in your sight.
- 1 Kings 12:11
Whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my father scourged you with whips, I will scourge you with scorpions.’”
Commentary on 1 Kings 12:111 voice
Scorpions - By this word some understand whips having leaden balls at the ends of their lashes with hooks projecting from them; others the thorny stem of the eggplant, or “the scorpion plant.” But it seems best to regard the expression as a figure of speech.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Job 5:21
You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and will not fear havoc when it comes.
- Job 9:23
When the scourge brings sudden death, He mocks the despair of the innocent.
Commentary on Job 9:231 voice
If He scourge, let Him slay once for all, and not laugh at the trial of the innocent. MYSTICAL INTERPRETATION Who would not suppose that this was uttered in pride, unless he heard the sentence of the Judge, Who pronounces, For ye have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job hath. Therefore it follows, that no one dare to find fault with the author's words, which it appears the Judge commends.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book IXPatristic
- Matthew 10:17
But beware of men; for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.
- Matthew 20:19
and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. And on the third day He will be raised to life.”
Commentary on Matthew 20:192 voices
There is no mention that the disciples either said or did any thing upon hearing of these sufferings that should thus come upon Christ; remembering what the Lord had said to Peter, they were afraid they should have had the like or worse addressed to themselves.
Origen of Alexandria· Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
For Judas delivered the Lord to the Jews, and they delivered Him to the Gentiles, that is to Pilate, and the Roman power. To this end the Lord refused to be prosperous in this world, but rather chose to suffer affliction, that He might show us, who have yielded to delights, through how great bitterness we must needs return; whence it follows, To mock, and to scourge, and to crucify.
Rabanus Maurus· Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
- Matthew 27:26
So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.
Commentary on Matthew 27:261 voice
It should be known that Pilate administered the Roman law, which enacted that every one who was crucified should first be scourged. Jesus then is given up to the soldiers to be beaten, and they tore with whips that most holy body and capacious bosom of God. This was done that we might be delivered from those stripes of which it is said, Many stripes shall be to the wicked. (Ps. 32:10.)
Jerome· Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
- Mark 15:15
And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.
Commentary on Mark 15:152 voices
He himself suffered the lash, in whose name his servants now scourge the devil and his angels. He who now crowns the martyrs with eternal garlands was himself crowned with thorns.
Cyprian· Treatise IX. On the Advantage of Patience 7Patristic
Here are two goats; one is the scape goat, that is, one loosed and sent out into the wilderness of hell with the sin of the people; the other is slain, as a lamb, for the sins of those who are forgiven. The Lord's portion is always slain; the devil's part, (for he is the master of those men, which is the meaning of Barabbas,) when freed, is cast headlong into hell.
Pseudo-Jerome· Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
- Acts 16:23
And after striking them with many blows, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely.
Commentary on Acts 16:231 voice
"They ordered the jailer to keep them securely." Since they knew their virtue, they deceived themselves by saying, "Keep them securely." But by doing so they testified that they were not ordinary but great men who had the power to do, through the Lord, whatever …
Ammonius of Alexandria· CATENA ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 16.23Patristic
- Acts 18:17
At this, the crowd seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was of concern to Gallio.
Commentary on Acts 18:171 voice
Either for this reason they struck Sosthenes, since he too was more attached to Paul, as also Crispus the chief ruler of the synagogue; or they had been driven to such a degree of madness that, having failed in their purpose, instead of striking Paul …
Oecumenius· Commentary on ActsPatristic
- Acts 21:32
Immediately he took some soldiers and centurions and ran down to the crowd. When the people saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
