What was the name of whip used on Jesus?

Answer 1

Jesus was whipped as part of the punishment for our sins. The whip was called the cat of nine tails.

Answer 2

No.

The 'three fold cord' is a GOOD thing.

Scripturally , Solomon said: " a threefold cord is not quickly broken." (Ecclesiastes 4:11+12 KJV) If we untwist a cord made up of three strands, each strand alone can quickly be broken. But if they are twisted together, this "threefold cord" cannot easily be torn in two. In many circumstances, God's servants, if supportive of one another, with a united purpose, have greater spiritual strength together, especially if God is the THIRD strand, and his principles used to guide us.

In marriage:

One cord..the husband

The second cord...the wife

The third cord...God .

If we follow God's laws on marriage, it will be very difficult to destroy that union.

The cord used to beat Jesus was called a 'Scourge'. It had MANY strands.

The Romans used a "scourge" as a form of torture. The victim was stretched out, with his hands tied to a post with ropes. (Acts 22:25, 29) The 'scourge' itself was a multi-thonged whip with bits of bone and metal attached to the ends, that ripped painfully into the victim's back. (Luke 23:22; John 19:1; Matthew 20:19)

Also:

Messiah was beaten by Roman "lictors". These were the bodyguards of Pilate who were there to hear Jesus / Yeshua declare Himself to be the King of the Jews in his presence.

He was not a Roman citizen, so it was legal for Pilate to have any accused person flogged in order to elicit a confession. But Messiah was without sin, so He remained mute. This enraged the lictors who hated Jews and yet one Jew had challenged their prowess and pride. They nearly killed Him for not saying a word. Typically, two lictors addressed the accused who was tied so as to wrap arms around a large rock; one had a whip (flagrum) of several strands with iron or bone attached; one had an iron bar on the other side. There was no limitation on Romans and people did sometimes die after being flogged in this manner. The bar made deep bruises which the flagrum tore open. Hence, matza today is white (sinless) with piercings (nails & thorns) and stripes (flogging); it is burned on both sides (bruises) to represent the affliction from both sides of Reality: the wrath of Man and God.

Jewish law had a maximum of 40 lashes. If the flogged person died after the 40, the one who whipped him could be found guilty of manslaughter since punishment was intended, not execution. Therefore, wisdom prevailed and 39 lashes was the norm. The Jewish whip was made of three straps of leather from three different species and 13 blows were landed to deliver a total of 39 stripes. This is per Edersheim, the Messianic (Christian) Jewish author from the late 1800's. Get free e-books at this link to get a deep understanding of Jewish culture and practice:
