Crucifixion of Jesus

The Crucifixion , by Vouet , 1622, Genoa The crucifixion of Jesus and his ensuing death is an event that occurred during the first century A.D. Jesus , whom most Christians regard as the Son of God as well as the Messiah , was arrested , tried , and sentenced by Pontius Pilate to be scourged , and finally executed on a cross . Collectively referred to as the Passion , Jesus' redemptive suffering and death by crucifixion represent critical aspects of Christian theology , including the doctrines of salvation and atonement . Jesus' crucifixion is described in all four gospels , attested to by other contemporary sources , and regarded as a historical event. Christians believe Jesus' suffering was foretold in Hebrew scripture, such as in Isaiah's songs of the suffering servant. According to the New Testament, Jesus was arrested in Gethsemane following the Last Supper with the twelve Apostles , and forced to stand trial before the Sanhedrin , Pontius Pilate , and Herod Antipas , before being handed over for crucifixion. After being flogged , Jesus was mocked by Roman soldiers as the " King of the Jews ", clothed in a purple robe, crowned with thorns, beaten and spat on. Jesus then had to make his way to the place of his crucifixion . Once at Golgotha , Jesus was stripped and nailed to the beam and hung between two convicted thieves. According to Mark's Gospel, he endured the torment for some six hours, from the third hour Mk. 15:25 until his death at the ninth hour. 15:34–37 The soldiers affixed a sign above his head stating "King of the Jews" in three languages , divided his garments and cast lots for his seamless robe, and offered him wine mixed with gall to drink, before eventually piercing his side with a spear to be certain that he had died. Each gospel has its own account of Jesus' last words, seven statements altogether. In the Synoptic Gospels , various supernatural events accompany the crucifixion, including darkness , an earthquake, and (in Matthew) the resurrection of saints. Following Jesus' death, his body was removed from the cross by Joseph of Arimathea and buried in a rock-hewn tomb , with Nicodemus assisting. According to Christian tradition, Jesus then rose from the dead three days later. Christians have traditionally understood Jesus' death on the cross to be a holy sacrifice that atones for humanity's sin and makes salvation possible. Christians participate in this sacrifice through the bread and wine of the Eucharist , which represent Jesus' body broken and his blood shed on the cross.
