Second Sorrowful Mystery - Scourging at the Pillar
I Desire A Spirit Of Mortification
Think of the cruel scourging at the pillar that our Lord suffered;
the heavy blows that tore His flesh.
Mark
Chapter 15
1
As soon as morning came, the chief priests with the elders and
the scribes, that is, the whole Sanhedrin, held a council. They
bound Jesus, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate.
2
Pilate questioned him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" He said
to him in reply, "You say so."
3
The chief priests accused him of many things.
4
Again Pilate questioned him, "Have you no answer? See how
many things they accuse you of."
5
Jesus gave him no further answer, so that Pilate was amazed.
6
Now on the occasion of the feast he used to release to them one
prisoner whom they requested.
7
A man called Barabbas was then in prison along with the rebels
who had committed murder in a rebellion.
8
The crowd came forward and began to ask him to do for them as
he was accustomed.
9
Pilate answered, "Do you want me to release to you the king of
the Jews?"
10
For he knew that it was out of envy that the chief priests had
handed him over.
11
But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release
Barabbas for them instead.
12
Pilate again said to them in reply, "Then what (do you want) me
to do with (the man you call) the king of the Jews?"
13
They shouted again, "Crucify him."
14
Pilate said to them, "Why? What evil has he done?" They only
shouted the louder, "Crucify him."
15
So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to
them and, after he had Jesus scourged, handed him over to be
crucified.
