Him with blows of their hands," (AV, "did strike Him with the palms of their hands"); that they received, or took, Him would indicate their rough handling of Him; John 18:22; 19:3; in all three places the RV marg. gives the meaning (a), as to the use of a rod.
So with the corresponding verb rhapizo, in Matthew 26:67 . The soldiers subsequently beat Him with a reed, 27:30, where tupto, "to beat," is used; rhapizo occurs elsewhere in Matthew 5:39 . See SMITE.Copyright Statement
