Mocking- to deride or jeer
Scourging- punishing with a whip with thongs with metal pieces or bones attached
Hebrews 11:36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourging, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment.
Many were beaten and put into prison for teaching and preaching in the name of Jesus Christ. These things did not deter them for they knew they were following God and leading the lost to salvation.
Acts 5: 40-42 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
