Senses in use

  1. Action preceding delivery for crucifixion · dominant

    In Mark 15:15, φραγελλώσας occurs in the clause between Pilate's release of Barabbas and Jesus' delivery for crucifixion; the APB renders the sequence, “having whipped Jesus delivered him.” Matthew 27:26 likewise places the participial action before the delivery, though its translation wording makes the agent-object relation less clear.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action as “having whipped Jesus” in Mark 15:15. In Matthew 27:26 it similarly uses “having whipped him,”.
