This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Five times received I forty stripes save one (pentakis tesserakonta para mian elabon). The Acts and the Epistles are silent about these Jewish floggings (Mat 27:36). See note on Luk 12:47 for omission of plēgas (stripes). Thirty-nine lashes was the rule for fear of a miscount (Deu 25:1-3). Cf. Josephus (Ant. IV. 8, 1, 21).
