Stripes
Easton's Bible Dictionary
As a punishment were not to exceed forty (Deuteronomy 25:1-3 ), and hence arose the custom of limiting them to thirty-nine (2 Corinthians 11:24 ). Paul claimed the privilege of a Roman citizen in regard to the infliction of stripes (Acts 16:37,38; 22:25-29 ). Our Lord was beaten with stripes (Matthew 27:26 ). Copyright Statement
