Matthew 27:26
This passage describes the moment when Jesus is flogged by the Roman soldiers before His crucifixion. The scourging is part of the intense physical suffering that Jesus endures as He prepares for His ultimate sacrifice on the cross.
Biblical Passage: Matthew 27:26 (KJV)
"Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified."
Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
In Dalí’s interpretation, the event would be depicted as a surreal and intense moment of suffering, focusing on both the physical pain and the spiritual significance of Jesus’ sacrifice. Jesus would be portrayed as the central figure, His body marked by the lashes, with a haunting, emotional expression. The soldiers would be abstract and distorted, reflecting the violence of the moment, while light and shadow would emphasize the spiritual contrast between Christ’s divine purpose and the evil He bears. Dalí would likely use surreal symbolism, such as twisting whips and melting figures, to depict the psychological and emotional turmoil of the scene, underscoring the eternal significance of Jesus’ suffering for humanity’s salvation.
