so much that he was unrecognizable If you are referring to the movie "The passion of the Christ" it is very likely that Jesus was scourged even more an this. Many people did not survive a Roman scourging. Romans were very clever, built wonderful roads, were superb architects, were cultured and in some ways very civilised..... but they were also immensely cruel. At many executions it is recorded that the scourging itself killed the victim, and the beaten body then crucified so that the crows could feed on the decaying flesh. In The Bible account, we are told that Jesus survived the scourging, but he was too weak to carry his crossbeam to the place of execution, it being carried by a Cyrenean called Simon instead. Those people who say that Jesus never really died on the cross and instead of the resurrection being a miracle Jesus somehow 'revived' in the cold tomb, really do not know what they are talking about. The Roman soldiers knew exactlywhat they were doing with him - to inflict as much pain as possible, for as long as possible, so that death, when it came, would be a relief.
