Atos 22

Boice - “This was not the normal Jewish flogging, which was bad enough, but the dreaded Roman flagellum. It was a beating so severe that in some cases it resulted in the death of the victim.” Examined (426)(anetazo from ana = emphatic + etazo = to examine) means to be examined thoroughly judicially or forensically, give someone a hearing and in this context using torture in connection with the hearing. Only other NT use Acts 22:29. Once in Septuagint Jdg 6:29. In one of the papyri it refers to the careful examination of documents.
