"Paul" was beaten FIVE times with 39 strokesand survived in his assumed letter to the Corinthians .
And, "Paul" also claimed he was Stoned and NO trial is recorded in the Pauline writings or Acts of the Apostles.
2 Cor. 11
Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. 25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned....
Acts 14
...And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. ...
So Jesus could have been stoned by a MOB if he did exist and "Paul" if he did exist and was beaten could survive afer FIVE separate beatings of 39 lashes.
