Verse 4
The Lord - hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked - The words have been applied to the sufferings of Christ; but I know not on what authority. No such scourging could take place in his case, as would justify the expression: -
"The ploughers made long furrows there,
Till all his body was one wound."
It is not likely that he received more than thirty-nine stripes. The last line is an unwarranted assertion.
Be the first to react on this!
