Download The Crucifixion Of Jesus Christ

<div>The crucifixion of Jesus is recorded in the New Testament books, known=
 as the Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. This Bible story is the ce=
ntral summary of the saving Gospel of Jesus. Jesus had prophesied of his de=
ath in Matthew "from that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples t=
hat he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elde=
rs, the chief priests and the teachers of the law and that he must be kille=
d and on the third day be raised to life." Jesus understood that his life w=
ould be required as a sacrifice for the sins of man.</div><div></div><div><=
/div><div>At the height of his ministry and miracles, many Jews came to bel=
ieve in Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God. Jewish leaders feared Jesus b=
ecause of his growing followers. With the help of Judas Iscariot, Roman sol=
diers arrested Jesus, and He was put on trial for claiming to be the king o=
f the Jews. According to Roman law, the punishment for rebellion against th=
e king was death by crucifixion.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div=

v>The Roman governor Pontius Pilate was reluctant regarding the punishment =
for Jesus. Pilate could find no wrong in Jesus, yet he wanted to give the p=
eople what they wanted, and that was the death of Jesus. Pilate washed his =
hands in front of the crowd to symbolize that he was not taking responsibil=
ity for the bloodshed of Jesus and then handed Jesus over to be beaten and =
lashed. Jesus had a crown of thorns thrust on his head and made to carry hi=
s cross along the pathway to the hill where he would be crucified. The loca=
tion of Jesus' crucifixion is known as Calvary, translated from "a place of=
 skull."</div><div></div><div></div><div>The crucifixion of Jesus was a par=
t of God's plan from the very beginning of the birth of Jesus. The sin of m=
ankind would require a sacrifice. The sinless life of Jesus was lived and g=
iven so that man could receive salvation and eternal life in heaven. The Sc=
riptures below contain the full Bible story of the crucifixion. To learn mo=
re about the resurrection, visit our Bible story page on the Resurrection o=
f Jesus.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The NT itself does not provide muc=
h information concerning the details of the crucifixion. There is remarkabl=
e brevity and restraint on the part of all four gospel authors when it come=
s to the actual crucifixion of Jesus. All that is said in Matt. 27:35a; Mar=
k 15:24a; Luke 23:33; and John 19:18, is that "they crucified him." Why is =
so little recorded for us? There are at least two reasons. In the first pla=
ce, crucifixion was so frequent and its details such common knowledge that =
they must certainly have believed it unnecessary to be more precise. People=
 in the first century were all too painfully familiar with crucifixion. Mor=
e important is the fact that crucifixion was so utterly repugnant, so indes=
cribably shameful that they deemed it improper to go beyond the bare minimu=
m in describing our Lord's experience. More on this later.</div><div></div>=
<div></div><div>For example, crucifixion was always public. In fact, the mo=
st visibly prominent place was selected, usually at a crossroads, in the th=
eatre, or elsewhere on high ground. The reason was to intensify the sense o=
f social and personal humiliation. Victims were usually crucified naked. Je=
wish sensitivities, however, demanded that the victim wear a loincloth. In =
the Bible physical nakedness was often a symbol of spiritual shame and igno=
miny. John Calvin wrote:</div><div></div><div></div><div>It wasn't primaril=
y because the church claimed that Jesus was God incarnate, nor because of a=
ny perceived threat to the Mosaic law or the Temple (although that accusati=
on was raised; cf. Acts 6:13). The principal stumbling-block for Paul was t=
hat Jesus had been crucified. A crucified messiah was a contradiction in te=
rms. One may have a Messiah, or one may have a crucifixion. But one cannot =
have a Messiah who is himself crucified! The concept of the Messiah evoked =
images of power, splendor, and triumph, whereas that of crucifixion spoke o=
f weakness, degradation, and defeat.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Pilate=
 orders Jesus to be flogged as required by Roman law before crucifixion Tra=
ditionally, the accused stood naked, and the flogging covered the area from=
 the shoulders down to the upper legs. The whip consisted of several strips=
 of leather. In the middle of the strips were metal balls that hit the skin=
, causing deep bruising. In addition, sheep bone was attached to the tips o=
f each strip.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Questions of authenticity con=
tinue to surround direct relics associated with Jesus, such as the crown of=
 thorns he reputedly wore during his crucifixion (one possible example is h=
oused inside the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris), and the Shroud of Turin, a=
 linen burial cloth purportedly emblazoned with the image of his face.</div=
><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Arc=
haeologists, though, have been able to corroborate elements of the New Test=
ament story of Jesus. While some disputed the existence of ancient Nazareth=
, his biblical childhood home town, archaeologists have unearthed a rock-he=
wn courtyard house along with tombs and a cistern. They have also found phy=
sical evidence of Roman crucifixions such as that of Jesus described in the=
 New Testament.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The Passion of Christ is th=
e story of Jesus Christ's arrest, trial and suffering. It ends with his exe=
cution by crucifixion. The Passion is an episode in a longer story and cann=
ot be properly understood without the story of the Resurrection.</div><div>=
</div><div></div><div>The crucifixion of Jesus is accepted by many scholars=
 as an actual historical event. It is recorded in the writings of Paul, the=
 Gospels, Josephus, and the Roman historian Tacitus. Scholars differ about =
the historical accuracy of the details, the context and the meaning of the =
event.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Jesus is whipped and then, to mock t=
he claim that he is 'King of the Jews', given a crown of thorns and dressed=
 in a purple robe. Jesus carries his cross to the place of crucifixion, hel=
ped by Simon of Cyrene.</div><div></div><div></div><div>In this radio progr=
amme, Paul Morrison, a naturalist, explores the symbolism of flowers and pl=
ants in the crucifixion story. He goes in search of the plant the soldiers =
may have used to make Jesus' crown of thorns.</div><div></div><div></div><d=
iv>In the first millennium of the Christian era, leaders in the European Ch=
ristian (Catholic) hierarchy developed or solidified as doctrine ideas that=
: all Jews were responsible for the crucifixion of Christ; the destruction =
of the Temple by the Romans and the scattering of the Jewish people was pun=
ishment both for past transgressions and for continued failure to abandon t=
heir faith and accept Christianity.</div><div></div><div></div><div>As the =
title says, I'm looking for a rough estimate as to how many people were pre=
sent in person to directly witness the crucifixion. Book, websites, academi=
c references, or really any source which could be reliable regarding this t=
opic would also be helpful.</div><div></div><div></div><div>We need to diff=
erentiate between 'witnessing something' and 'looking at ' it with the mind=
set of a passerby. Public execution has always been a subject of curiosity =
among the onlookers, even if the convicts are total strangers to them. Now,=
 the big difference between crucifixion and the other methods like hanging =
of execution is that in the former, it can never be predicted when the conv=
ict is likely to die. Some convicts would hang for days on end, with the ga=
ll administered to prevent dehydration. It is quite doubtful if the scene o=
f crucifixion would attract many who would stay put to watch the victim die=
. In the case of Jesus, he was given the colour of someone who opposed the =
Roman Empire. How many Jews would dare standing at the foot of the Cross to=
 invite Roman wrath ? Jesus' own disciples except John had fled for their l=
ife ! The remaining few were Mother Mary, the woman disciples and a few gen=
tlemen who had some social positions. Of course, the soldiers likely number=
ing four, with their Commander in Charge, were there on duty, not to mentio=
n of the crucified thieves . Altogether, there may not have been more than =
fifty witnesses . The passerbys who stopped for a moment or two to read the=
 inscription , and then proceeded on their business, cannot be treated as W=
itnesses. Can they ?</div><div></div><div></div><div>The Bible mentioned th=
e crowd of priests and scribes, the women from Galilee, the Roman execution=
 detail, Simon from Cyrene, the disciple John, and curious on-lookers, were=
 all at this crucifixion. (Matthew 27:35-36, 41-43, 47, 55-56, 57-61, Mark =
15:21, 31, 35, 39-41, Luke 23:27, 35-36, 47-49, John 19:25-27)</div><div></=
div><div></div><div>Pilgrim Train But beyond these people, because of the p=
ractice of placing the crosses along the roadway, AND because it was the Fe=
ast of Passover (and Unleavened Bread),many thousands of Jewish pilgrims wo=
uld have seen Jesus's crucifixion! Flavius Josephus, may or may not have al=
ways been accurate with numbers, but he attests to millions attending the P=
assover (q.v. in loc.). Tens of thousands traveling the road into Jerusalem=
 would have witnessed this crucifixion!</div><div></div><div></div><div>Rec=
all the comments of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, about all the =
commotion caused by this crucifixion. (Luke 24:18) And this "stranger" who =
joined them should have known about it all. "Are you just a new visitor her=
e?" (If only they knew who they were talking to!!!)</div><div></div><div></=
div><div>Understanding the work of Christ demands that we know the events o=
f His life as they are recorded in the four Gospels. In God's wise providen=
ce, however, He gave us not only the four Gospels but also the rest of Scri=
pture, all of which is vital for knowing what it is that Jesus accomplished=
. When it comes to the climax of His work in the crucifixion, the Epistles =
and their clear interpretation of the cross event are particularly importan=
t.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The central pillars of Christianity orig=
inate from the story of the trial, crucifixion, and death of Jesus Christ. =
The events cover the time when Jesus of Nazareth and his followers entered =
Jerusalem for the festival of Passover to Sunday morning when his followers=
 proclaimed that he had been raised from the dead.</div><div></div><div></d=
