Chotero, mogwirizana ndi zofuna zawo​—ndiponso pofuna kukhutiritsa khamulo koposa kuchita chimene akuchidziŵa kukhala cholondola​—Pilato akuwamasulira Baraba. Iye amtenga Yesu nalamula kuti avulidwe ndi kukwapulidwa. Uku sikunali kukwapula wamba. The Journal of the American Medical Association imalongosola motere ponena za kachitidwe Kachiroma ka kukwapula:

“Chipangizo chanthaŵi zonse chinali chikoti chachifupi (flagrum kapena flagellum) chokhala ndi malamba a chikopa olukanalukana a utali wosiyanasiyana, m’mene munamangiriridwa motsatizana timbulungira tating’onoting’ono tachitsulo kapena tizidutswa tosongoka tamafupa ankhosa. . . . Pamene asirikali Achiroma ankakwapula kumsana kwa mnkhole mobwerezabwereza ndi mphamvu zonse, timbulungira tachitsuloto tikapanga mikwingwirima yakuya, ndipo malamba achikopawo ndi mafupa ankhosa akavulaza khungu ndi mnofu wapamwamba. Kenaka, pamene kukwapulako kunapitiriza, zosongokazo zikapyoza mumnofu wamkati ndikusolola nyama zamkati zikukha mwazi.”

Chinkana kuti ngwochititsidwa mikwingwirima ndi kumenyedwa, panopa pakuima munthu wotchuka koposa m’mbiri yonse, ndithudi mwamuna wamkulu koposa yemwe sanakhalepo pano chikhalire! Inde, Yesu akusonyeza ulemu wodekha ndi bata zimene zikulankhulira ukulu wake umene ngakhale Pilato ayenera kuuvomereza, popeza kuti mawu ake mwachiwonekere ngosakanizana ndi zonse ziŵiri ulemu ndi chifundo.
