Clearly, Pilate didn’t see our Lord as having committed seditious behavior against Rome, which would have been a capital offense. Christ’s being scourged at the pillar before His Crucifixion in His Passion, which constitutes the Second sorrowful mystery of the Rosary, is mentioned in three of the four Gospels (in John 19:1, Mark 15:15, and Matthew 27:26).Īrchbishop Fulton J.Sheen, in Life of Christ, his excellent biography of our Lord, posits that the roman procurator Pontius Pilate, who was in charge of Judea at the time, ordered the scourging as a kind of compromise with a rabid mob hell bent on having Christ crucified.
