From Mark . 13: 9-13
But you look after yourself, for they will deliver you to the judges and beat you in the synagogues, and they will set you up before rulers and kings for Me, for a testimony before them.
And in all nations the Gospel must first be preached.
When they are led to betray you, do not worry in advance what to say to you, and do not ponder; but what will be given to you at that hour, speak also, for you will not speak, but the Holy Spirit.
Brother will betray brother to death, and father - children; and children will rise up against their parents and put them to death.
And you will be hated by all for my name; but he who endures to the end will be saved.

Interpretation of a group of verses: Mark: 13: 9-9

The whip was to consist of a belt divided into 4 lashes, with which other, thinner lashes were woven to increase the impact force (see TV Makkoth 23a).
Relative moderation was introduced by the biblical limitation of the number of strikes - up to forty (2 and if the guilty one is worthy of beating, then the judge let him order to put him down and beat him with him, depending on his fault, according to the count; 3 forty blows can be given to him, and not more, so that your brother is not disfigured by many blows before your eyes (Deut. 25: 2-3), in practice - up to thirty-nine (since the performers can be mistaken in the count and sin against the Torah); that is why Paul speaks in the passage quoted above about 'forty blows without one' (it was supposed to strike 13 blows on the chest, 26 - on the back).
