Does it hurt to be flogged?

Uh...yeah! Picture yourself, with a long leather cord, being smacked over and over. Who asked this question? I'M TWELVE FOR PETE'S SAKE and even I know it would hurt...and plus my little sister isn't that affiliated with how much it hurts when you are whipped. (I learned that the hard way). When Jesus was scourged, the soldiers had a special whip with metal barbs, designed to rip out chunks of flesh. Sweet dreams!
