What does the Bible say about Jesus being scourged?

In John 19:1, it is recorded that Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. This punishment served a dual purpose: it was a customary step taken before crucifixion and was meant to pacify the Jews by demonstrating Jesus' suffering. The significance of this act is profound, reflecting the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy in which it is stated, 'by His stripes we are healed' (Isaiah 53:5). This act highlights not only the physical torment endured by Christ but also serves as a theological reminder of the substitutionary atonement where Jesus suffered for our sins, the just for the unjust.
