The place of The Stone Pavement Gabbatha


Near the Antonio Fortress they have actually found places where the soldiers played games while detaining prisoners. It is very possible this was the very place where Jesus was scourged and mocked by the soldiers.

John 19:1-3 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. [2] The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe [3] and went up to him again and again, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And they struck him in the face.
