Where does it say in the Bible that Jesus had thirty nine stripes?
The Bible doesn't say how many stripes Jesus received, only that he was flogged (Matthew 27:26; Mark 15:15). Flogging, however, usually consisted of 39 lashes (2 Corinthians 11:24).
Who was apostle Paul in the Bible?
He lived in the second half of the first century A.D. and wrote many of the letters that became books in the New Testament. His story is told in the book of Acts. He was a devout Jew (a Pharisee) who was ferocious in persecuting Christians in the first years of the early church. After his conversion, he became a fearless witness of the power of Christ and an intelligent apologist for the Gospel. He was beaten, stoned, flogged, arrested, and thrown in prison for his faith, but he was not deterred. At the end of his life he was imprisoned in Rome, where, according to tradition, he was martyred under Nero.
Why was Jesus whipped 39 times?
The New Testament never says Jesus was whipped thirty-nine times.The Law of Moses limited beatings to a maximum of forty blows, which would be cut short at 39 in case the blows were miscounted, to insure they didn't exceed the limit:Deuteronomy 25:1-3 - "If there is a dispute between men, and they come to court, that the judges may judge them, and they justify the righteous and condemn the wicked, then it shall be, if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, that the judge will cause him to lie down and be beaten in his presence, according to his guilt, with a certain number of blows. Forty blows he may give him and no more, lest he should exceed this and beat him with many blows above these, and your brother be humiliated in your sight."However, Jesus was not beaten according to Jewish law; He was flogged by the Romans, who set no such limit on the number of blows that could be inflicted.

How many times Jesus was whipped?
2 Corinthians 11:24 NIV - Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. KJV - Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one. ASV - Of the Jews five times received I forty 'stripes' save one. Jesus was whipped 39 times because if he was whipped 40 times he would die and if he died while the soldiers were whipping him then they would be put to death 2nd Corinthians was written by Paul, so Patty's answer is actually referring to the wrong person. Paul was beaten 39 times, on 5 different occasions. Jesus was only scourged once. The Bible doesn't say how many times he was whipped, only that he was scourged. Messiah was beaten by Roman "lictors". These were the bodyguards of Pilate who were there to hear Jesus / Yeshua declare Himself to be the King of the Jews in his presence. He was not a Roman citizen, so it was legal for Pilate to have any accused person flogged in order to elicit a confession. But Messiah was without sin, so He remained mute. This enraged the lictors who hated Jews and yet one Jew had challenged their prowess and pride. They nearly killed Him for not saying a word. Typically, two lictors addressed the accused who was tied so as to wrap arms around a large rock; one had a whip (flagrum) of several strands with iron or bone attached; one had an iron bar on the other side. There was no limitation on Romans and people did sometimes die after being flogged in this manner. The bar made deep bruises which the flagrum tore open. Hence, matza today is white (sinless) with piercings (nails & thorns) and stripes (flogging); it is burned on both sides (bruises) to represent the affliction from both sides of Reality: the wrath of Man and God. Jewish law had a maximum of 40 lashes. If the flogged person died after the 40, the one who whipped him could be found guilty of manslaughter since punishment was intended, not execution. Therefore, wisdom prevailed and 39 lashes was the norm. The Jewish whip was made of three straps of leather from three different species and 13 blows were landed to deliver a total of 39 stripes. This is per Edersheim, the Messianic (Christian) Jewish author from the late 1800's. Get free e-books at related links to get a deep understanding of Jewish culture and practice.
