Larrup
To larrup is to beat or thrash.
A Jewish council ordered the apostles larruped in hopes of silencing their preaching about Jesus. The ploy did not succeed as the apostles considered it an honor to suffer for Jesus' name. (Acts 5:40-41)
They took his advice; and after calling the apostles in, they flogged them and ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and then released them. (Acts 5:40, NASB)
:This image of the apostles being larruped was published by Johann Christoph Weigel in 1695.
