Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

Cornelius a Lapide

Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged Him. That is after he had said ( Luke 23:22), "I will chastise Him and let Him go." The tradition is that He was first scourged with thick ropes, then with knotted ropes and iron scorpions, then with chains, and lastly with rods of thorns. But Ribera says that these traditions are of little account, as the inhabitants of the country have so often charged, and the old traditions were not kept up.
