The passion of Christ gives us a brief glimpse into the depths of unrestrained human cruelty. I think it is important that we understand that what we have just read are not simply words on a page. Real human beings really did subject Jesus to unspeakable acts of cruelty. Mark is very brief and simply mentions that Jesus was scourged. In fact none of the gospel writers explain what it meant to be scourged. They did not have to because in their day it was so common that people knew how hideous and cruel it was.
