In this episode, we start chapter 19 out of the Book of John; specifically, verses 1-15. Pilate is still not convinced Jesus is guilty of anything, but to appease the Jewish religious leaders and the mob they have gathered, Pilate has Jesus beaten with a whip that has rocks, bones, and nails at the end of its tails. This whip is used to inflict maximum pain. The Roman soldiers also put a crown made out of sharp thorns on Jesus' head. The crown pierces Jesus' head. The soldiers also slap Jesus around, which is a sign of contempt and disrespect. But this is not enough for the Jewish religious leaders and the mob. They demand that Jesus be crucified. Crucifixion is a sadistic process that is not only agonizing, but also designed to stretch pain and embarrassment into a days-long ordeal. Pilate wants to keep the peace, so he orders Jesus crucified.
