He chose to stay silent

It's difficult to imagine what really happened. But what we do know are the writings telling how horrific scourging was. We know a man named Jesus who did nothing wrong, stayed silent and was beaten/scourged more than anyone had ever been beaten. |

Whether we believe in God, or not
There was a man named Jesus
Who was beaten without mercy
And then hung to the cross
He could’ve saved himself
Yet He chose to stay silent
As His wrists were shackled
As the leather straps
Shredded his muscles
Until they bared His insides
Why would He stay silent
As His body convulsed
With the most unbearable pain
Why would He stay silent
swollen from head to toe
As He carried the cross
Even though He could barely walk
Why would anyone
Sacrifice in such a way
Unless He really was the Son of God

Shock and nerve damage. Understand that he was whipped so much that his skin peeled off. After a while, He probably felt nothing. A few years ago, I broke my leg, both bones, 6 inches above the ankle, completely, with a loud, “crack,” but no pain or shock, whatsoever. I had the foot x-rayed, but the breaks were not discovered for fifteen days. It is quite possible, after his initial beating, that he felt nothing of the wounds inflicted after that.
