The New Testament never says Jesus was whipped thirty-nine times.
The Law of Moses limited beatings to a maximum of forty blows, which would be cut short at 39 in case the blows were miscounted, to insure they didn't exceed the limit:
Deuteronomy 25:1-3 - "If there is a dispute between men, and they come to court, that the judges may judge them, and they justify the righteous and condemn the wicked, then it shall be, if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, that the judge will cause him to lie down and be beaten in his presence, according to his guilt, with a certain number of blows. Forty blows he may give him and no more, lest he should exceed this and beat him with many blows above these, and your brother be humiliated in your sight."
However, Jesus was not beaten according to Jewish law; He was flogged by the Romans, who set no such limit on the number of blows that could be inflicted.

No. The Bible says in 1 Peter 2:24 "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."Jewish law said a man could only be whipped up to 39 times. Jesus would have been whipped in accordance with this law. But there are 39 major categories of diseases, not 39 major diseases.

When Jesus was on the cross what if he got itchy?
This question is not Harmless Nonsense! Jesus dying for us is not harmless nonsense! Besides, Jesus would be dead before he could itch. Our savior dying for us is not a joking matter, and neither is crucifixion which was a barbaric way to be killed. Another answer: Assuming you are asking an honest serious question, I think that itching would not have been a problem, because Jesus was whipped before He was crucified, with a cat-o-nine-tails, which is a whip that has nine parts, and it has rocks and bits of metal embedded in it to tear the flesh. Jesus was whipped with this 39 times, so that means He would have had 39 times 9 places on His body that were torn with the whip. 39 times 9 is 351. He also had a crown of thorns placed on His head, and was punched in the face by soldiers. He then had to carry the crossbeam of His cross, which would have been very heavy, until He was no longer able to carry it and they found another person to carry it for Him. So, the point is, after all of this, He would have had very little flesh left that could have itched. He would have been in INTENSE pain. I am sure that itching was not a problem under such circumstances.
