The whip used to scourge Jesus would have been similar to a cat o nine tails. There would have been several strands of leather attached to a wooden handle. Each strand had a bit of metal or bone attached to the ends of the strands. If the Roman soldier was good at his job he could tear the flesh from the back and sometimes even expose the kidneys or other internal organs. Scourging alone could kill a person.
