This practice is mentioned in several passages throughout the Scriptures, often in the context of punishment, discipline, or suffering.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, whipping or flogging is often associated with the administration of justice and discipline. The Mosaic Law provided guidelines for corporal punishment, ensuring that it was carried out in a controlled and just manner. <a href="/deuteronomy/25.htm">Deuteronomy 25:1-3</a> outlines the procedure for flogging as a punishment for wrongdoing: "If there is a dispute between men and they go to court, and the judges decide in favor of the righteous and condemn the wicked, then if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with the number of lashes appropriate to his crime. He may receive no more than forty lashes, lest your brother be beaten any more than that and be degraded in your sight."<br><br>This passage highlights the importance of justice and mercy, ensuring that punishment does not become excessive or dehumanizing.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, whipping is most notably associated with the suffering of Jesus Christ. The Gospels recount the scourging of Jesus as part of His Passion. In <a href="/matthew/27-26.htm">Matthew 27:26</a>, it is recorded, "Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified." This act of whipping was a fulfillment of the prophecy in <a href="/isaiah/53-5.htm">Isaiah 53:5</a>, which speaks of the suffering servant: "But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed."<br><br>The Apostle Paul also references the experience of being whipped in his ministry. In <a href="/2_corinthians/11-24.htm">2 Corinthians 11:24</a>, Paul recounts, "Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one." This highlights the persecution and suffering endured by early Christians as they spread the Gospel.<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>The act of whipping in the Bible carries deep theological significance, particularly in the context of Christ's suffering. The scourging of Jesus is seen as part of His atoning work, bearing the punishment for sin on behalf of humanity. The "stripes" He received are often interpreted as a symbol of the healing and redemption available through His sacrifice.<br><br>Furthermore, the experiences of Paul and other early Christians who were whipped for their faith serve as a testament to their commitment and endurance in the face of persecution. Their willingness to suffer for the sake of the Gospel is an example of steadfast faith and dedication to God's calling.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>While the practice of whipping is a harsh and painful form of punishment, its presence in the biblical narrative underscores themes of justice, suffering, and redemption. Through the lens of Scripture, it serves as a reminder of the cost of sin, the depth of Christ's love, and the resilience of those who follow Him.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Whip.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/augustine/the_confessions_and_letters_of_st/chapter_ix_concerning_the_hatred_of.htm"><span class="l">Concerning the Hatred of Learning, the Love of Play, and the Fear <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> Book I.
