Usage: The verb "phragelloó" refers to the act of whipping or scourging, typically as a form of punishment. In the New Testament, it is used in the context of Roman judicial practices where scourging was a common preliminary to crucifixion.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Roman world, scourging was a brutal form of punishment often administered before crucifixion. The whip, or flagellum, was typically made of leather thongs embedded with metal or bone, designed to inflict severe pain and injury. This practice was not only punitive but also served as a public deterrent. Scourging was a common method of punishment for slaves and non-citizens, reflecting the harsh realities of Roman justice.
