Pilate delivered our LORD to the Roman officials to be scourged. The Roman scourge was a most dreadful instrument of torture. It was made of the sinews of oxen, and sharp bones were intertwined every here and there among the sinews; so that every time the lash came down these pieces of bone inflicted fearful laceration, and tore off the flesh from the bone....Believer in Jesus, can you gaze upon Him without tears, as He stands before you the mirror of agonizing love? ~Charles H. Spurgeon
"By His wounds we are healed."
