187:0.1 After the two [[brigands]] had been made ready, the [[soldiers]], under the direction of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_centurion centurion], started for the scene of the [[crucifixion]].

It was the [[Roman]] [[custom]] to assign four soldiers for each [[person]] to be [[crucified]]. The [[two]] [[brigands]] were properly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scourge scourged] before they were taken out to be [[crucified]], but [[Jesus]] was given no further [[physical]] [[punishment]]; the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_centurion captain] undoubtedly [[thought]] he had already been sufficiently [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scourge scourged], even before his [[condemnation]].
