2 Corinthians 11:24 regarding Paul's floggings:

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.

It is not known>

The 39 save 1 stripes was given by the Jews and not the Romans. This was the Jewish custom, 13 stripes with a whip with 3 strings, that equals 39 lashes. He was whipped by the Romans and not the Jews. The Word does not say nor can we ascertain from history how many times Jesus was whipped.

-------------------------

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 this link to get a deep understanding of Jewish culture and practice:

It was likely Pilate who watched the beating from the balcony above the courtyard who ordered his lictors to stop.

39

Answer:Scripture doesn't say. Jewish floggings (with a single rod or cane) could not exceed forty strikes, so the flogger would stop at 39 in case the blows had been miscounted.

Roman floggings, using a many-corded whip with sharp objects attached that would literally rip the victim's flesh from the bone, had no such limit on the number of blows that could be inflicted.

How was Jesus scourage by the roman soldiers?

Scourging was done with a whip, usually the "cat 'o nine tails" type which had the business end of the whip divided into several parts which had metal pieces embedded in the ends. It would tear the flesh with virtually every blow. Scourging was a standard part of the crucifixion process and many prisoners died from the scourging before they could be crucified.


What did each lash Jesus got signify?

We are not told how many times the whip hit Jesus. Usually 39 stripes was the limit. The bible does not tell if any significance was put to them or not. perhaps some "thinker" has added in his own dialogue what he thinks they were, but I have no idea where you would find such information.
