2. Pilate gave him to be scourged; this some think he did upon no other account, but that the Jews being satiated and glutted with these tortures, they might rest satisfied, and think themselves sufficiently avenged, and so desist from taking away his life. That he was scourged is without controversy, for so the Evangelist relates, Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him: 1and that Pilate might give him to be scourged on that account is very probable, because that after the scourging, he brings him out to the Jews, proclaiming, I find no fault in him; and before his scourging,2 he speaks it more expressly, He hath done nothing worthy of death, I will therefore chastise him, and release him. And it adds to this, that howsoever the custom was, that those that were to be crucified must first be whipped, yet if they were adjudged to dye, their stripes must be less, and if they were to be set at liberty, they must be beaten with more stripes; 3And Pilate endeavouring to preserve his life, they scourged him above measure, even almost to death.
