'Blows' in the Bible

But the one who did not know and did things deserving of blows will be beaten lightly. Much will be required of everyone who has been given much. And even more will be expected of the one who has been entrusted with more.

The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

After they had inflicted many blows on them, they threw them in jail, ordering the jailer to keep them securely guarded.
