The Scourging at the Pillar

As soon as it was daybreak, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, reached a decision.  They bound
Jesus, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate.  Pilate interrogated him: "Are you the king of the Jews?"  
(Mk. 15: 1-2)

 Jesus answered, "My Kingdom does not belong to this world"...At this, Pilate said to him, "So then you are a
king?"  Jesus replied, "It is you who say I am a king".

This much only will I say, "From now on, the Son of Man will have his seat at the right hand of the Power of
God."  (Lk. 22: 69)

"So you are the Son of God?"  they asked in chorus.  He answered, "It is you who say that I am."  (Lk. 22: 70)

Pilate's next move was to take Jesus and have him scourged.  (Jn. 19:1)

Despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows. (Is. 53: 3)

 And yet, ours were the sufferings he bore.  (Is. 53: 4)

He was pierced through for our faults, crushed for our sins.  (Is. 53: 5)

They blindfolded him, slapped him and then taunted him.  (Lk. 23: 64)

And after he had Jesus scourged, Pilate handed him over to be crucified.  (Mk. 15: 15)
