Stripes (Easton)

DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD

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 ).
