Overview

Mark and Matthew state that after releasing Barabbas, Pilate had Jesus flogged and handed him over to be crucified. In the Gospel of John also, the Flagellation of Jesus occurred after the episode of Barabbas, but still in the context of the Trial of Jesus before Pilate, before Jesus was sentenced to crucifixion.

In the Gospel of Luke there is no direct reference to the Flagellation of Jesus. Pilate is convinced of the innocence of Jesus and expresses his decision to have him flogged and released; unlike the other gospels, here the flagellation is presented as a punishment alternative to the crucifixion and nothing suggests that Jesus was both flogged and crucified.

Flogging was a common practice of interrogation of the prisoners and is likely that Jesus also was flogged by the Romans even before his case was put under the attention of Pilate; see the episode of Jesus ben Ananias narrated by Josephus.
