Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged [whipped] Him.
-John 19:1
When Jesus finished praying in the garden, the men who wanted to kill Him took Him as their prisoner. Then they brought Jesus to Pilate, their ruler, and he had Jesus whipped. The whip used was long and hard and it hurt Jesus so much that He bled. Jesus hadn't done anything wrong. The men who wanted to kill Him were afraid of losing power, so they wanted Jesus out of their way. They knew that if people really believed that Jesus was the Son of God-which He was-they would follow Him.
