In the context of the New Testament, it is often associated with punishment or discipline, reflecting a form of corporal punishment that was common in ancient times.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, corporal punishment was a standard method of discipline and correction. The use of rods for punishment was prevalent in both Jewish and Roman societies. In Jewish tradition, the rod was a symbol of authority and correction, as seen in Proverbs 13:24, "He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently." In Roman culture, scourging was a legal penalty often administered before crucifixion or as a standalone punishment.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4464.htm">rhabdos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to beat with a rod<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>beaten with rods (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4463: ῤαβδίζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ῤαβδίζω</span></span>; 1 aorist passive <span class="greek2">ἐρραβδίσθην</span>, and (so <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>) <span class="greek2">ἐραβδίσθην</span> (see Rho); (<span class="greek2">ῤάβδος</span>); <span class="accented">to beat with rods</span>: <a href="/interlinear/acts/16-22.htm">Acts 16:22</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/11-25.htm">2 Corinthians 11:25</a>.
