[BlessedBeGod]

And the entire description of Jesus' scourging amounts to a few words in the ancient Greek texts of the gospels.

Wow, so I guess that means it only lasted a few seconds.

[Jaded]

Yeah, but read the foot notes. According to Jewish Law:

Deuteronomy 25
1 When men have a dispute, they are to take it to court and the judges will decide the case, acquitting the innocent and condemning the guilty. 2 If the guilty man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall make him lie down and have him flogged in his presence with the number of lashes his crime deserves, 3 but he must not give him more than forty lashes. If he is flogged more than that, your brother will be degraded in your eyes.

Wonder how much coverage there will be next Wednesday. The local theater is sold out for the 25th on 2 screens.
