Chapter 6 — Part I: The Creed — Article IV: Suffered Under Pontius Pilate, Was Crucified, Dead, and Buried
Section 26. That Christ our Lord suffered the most excruciating torments of mind and body is certain. In the first place, there was no part of His body that did not experience the most agonising torture. His hands and feet were fastened with nails to the cross; His head was pierced with thorns and smitten with a reed; His face was befouled with spittle and buffeted with blows; His whole body was covered with stripes.
