This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
35. ὃν μὲν ἔδειραν, ὃν δὲ ἀπέκτειναν, κ.τ.λ. See ch. Mat 23:35.

δέρειν, (1) ‘to flay,’ (2) then, from the effect of scourging, ‘to beat.’ In the second sense it is classical only in the comic poets; cp. Vulgar English ‘to hide.’ In Act 16:22 the Prætors bid the lictors ‘scourge’ (ῥαβδίζειν) Paul, who, referring to the outrage, says: δεἱραντες ἡμᾶς δημοαιᾳ (Mat 21:37). λιθοβολεῖν, in LXX. for classical λεύειν.
