  blood-thirstiness of the masses can be quenched
  by the shedding of an innocent mans blood
• Jesus has had His flesh ripped open to the point
  of death
• They stripped Him naked (dont forget our Lords
  teaching on modesty)
• And they put a scarlet robe on Him for the sole
  purpose of mocking Him.
