Matthew21:35
[Beat; killed; stoned.] There seems to be an allusion to the punishments and manners of death in the council: 1. Beat, which properly signifies the flaying off of the skin, is not amiss rendered by interpreters beat; and the word seems to related to whipping where forty stripes save one did miserably flay off the skin of the poor man...2. Killed, signifies a death by the sword...Four kinds of death are delivered to the Sanhedrim, stoning, burning, killing, and strangling.
