After receiving the sentence from Pilate, Jesus was taken to a courtyard in the governor’s palace. Roman soldiers tied him to a large thick post already scarred and stained from previous floggings. The whip was short made of several bands of leather with shards of embedded bone and lumps of iron on the ends. Jesus was stripped naked and struck over and over, until the muscle on his back and legs were flayed and bone exposed. At such a weakened state from blood loss, the soldiers had completed Jesus’ preparation for crucifixion.
Read Mark 15:15
