"The violence Jesus endured is seldom represented in a fashion that does justice to his suffering. He was taken into custody, stripped, and whipped by Roman guards. Men who strip another man do so not merely to harm but even more so to humiliate. Jesus’ naked body received not only the whip but the words of degradation. This was not merely a beating; it was sexual assault. God’s Son was subjected to the shame of abuse. He was the ultimate illegal alien, stranger, and refugee—the despised of the earth."
