Matius 27:26

27:26 Then he released Barabbas for them. But after he had Jesus flogged, ²  he handed him over ³  to be crucified. ⁴ 

[24:19]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[27:26]  ² tn The Greek term φραγελλόω (fragellow) refers to flogging. BDAG 1064 s.v. states, “flog, scourge, a punishment inflicted on slaves and provincials after a sentence of death had been pronounced on them. So in the case of Jesus before the crucifixion…Mt 27:26; Mk 15:15.”

[27:26]  sn A Roman flogging (traditionally, “scourging”) was an excruciating punishment. The victim was stripped of his clothes and bound to a post with his hands fastened above him (or sometimes he was thrown to the ground). Guards standing on either side of the victim would incessantly beat him with a whip (flagellum) made out of leather with pieces of lead and bone inserted into its ends. While the Jews only allowed 39 lashes, the Romans had no such limit; many people who received such a beating died as a result. See C. Schneider, TDNT, 515-19.

[27:26]  ³ tn Or “delivered him up.”

[27:26]  ⁴ sn See the note on crucified in 20:19.
