Episode 273: 32AD Passion Week Thursday: The Scouraging of Jesus and Healing

Pilate turns over Jesus to be beaten by the Romans.  The legal non-Roman citizen limit was 39 lashes, but this was not a typical beating.  Jesus was beaten beyond recognition, causing him to die earlier than expected. The cross references to the Old Testament tell the bigger story and speak to the divine exchange as Jesus is illegally beaten to release healing.  Matthew 27:27-31Mark 15:16-20John 19:1-31 Corinthians 2:8Psalm 39Leviticus 4Isaiah 53Isaiah 50:1-7Isaiah 52:13-15www.messagetokings.com
