Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) I will therefore chastise him.--The primary meaning of the word was to correct as children are corrected, thence to use the rod, as in Proverbs 19:18; Proverbs 29:17. As used here it implied the Roman punishment of scourging. Pilate was here, as throughout, halting between two opinions, convinced of the innocence of the Accused, yet afraid to oppose the people. Would it not be enough, he thought, that they should see Him treated as guilty of a minor offence? Would they not accept His release as part of the ceremonial of the day?Parallel Commentaries ...GreekThereforeοὖν (oun)ConjunctionStrong's 3767: Therefore, then.
