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.

Was Jesus barred from temple?

A:Jesus certainly would have been barred from the Temple, if not arrested and punished, if he had behaved as described in John 2:13-25, when he scourged those who legitimately sold small animals for Temple sacrifice, and overturned the tables of the moneychangers. Instead, John's Gospel says that he returned tho Jerusalem three more times for the Passover, an event that required him to enter the Temple.The explanation for this is that, far from being written by an eyewitness as generally supposed, John's Gospel was written anonymously and loosely based on Luke's Gospel, in which the 'Cleansing of the Temple' scene does not occur until the very end of Jesus' mission. As you would expect, in Luke's Gospel (as in the other synoptics), this was the trigger for the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus.The author of John's Gospel wrote a story of the resurrection of Lazarus, loosely based on a parable found in Luke's Gospel, and made this the trigger for the arrest of Jesus (John 12:10,19). The Cleansing of the Temple was no longer relevant to the arrest of Jesus and the author of John simplified his storyline by moving this event to the very beginning of the mission of Jesus. Since this change was entirely artificial, we need not be concerned as to why Jesus went unpunished in John's Gospel.
