People's Bible Notes for Acts 16:22
Ac 16:22 The multitude rose up together against them. Inflamed with prejudice. The magistrates. Without inquiry, influenced by the outcries of the throng. Rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat [them]. They ordered them at once to be scourged. The lictors, the executioners, were at hand. The Roman custom was to lay bare the body and to beat it with the rods borne by the lictors. Paul says, "Thrice was I beaten with rods" (2Co 11:25).
