MATTHEW 27:26 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.”
Then he released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified. The release of Barabbas and the scourging and delivery of Jesus: the substitution that the Passover custom produced is the enacted parable of the atonement. The scourging — the brutal Roman flogging with the leather whip embedded with bone and metal — precedes the crucifixion as the standard Roman execution procedure.
