What was unusual about Jesus crucifixion?
Unusually for a Roman-era burial, the body had been buried directly in the ground, instead of being placed in a tomb, and without any burial goods, the researchers said.
How was Jesus actually crucified?
Jesus was publicly beaten, mocked, and spit on. A crown of thorns was placed on his head. He was stripped of his clothes and led to Golgotha. Stakes were driven through Jesus’ wrists and ankles, fastening him to the cross where he was crucified between two convicted criminals.
How did the Roman soldiers mock Jesus?
Jesus’ crime when presented to Pilate was claiming to be the King of the Jews, so the mocking by the Roman soldiers relates to this claim: They dressed Jesus in a scarlet robe. They placed a crown of thorns on his head. They put a staff in his hand, then struck him with it.
What did Jesus cry out on the cross?
which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? This is the only saying which appears in more than one gospel, and is a quote from Psalm 22:1.
Is Jesus the son of David and the Son of God?
To study this more closely I have chosen to use a Pauline passage, Romans 1:1-7, which shows that Jesus is the son of David and the Son of God, and that he has authority over us by virtue of his deity. While we will be studying this passage we will consider other related passages as well, and have several more sections on the doctrine of Christ.
What does it mean to call Jesus “the only begotten Son”?
To call Jesus “the only begotten Son” means that he is fully divine and eternal. He is God the Son. This is why the creed says that Jesus was “begotten, not made.”
Why did Paul call Jesus his servant?
Paul is simply identifying Jesus as this Yahweh of the Old Testament, which is why he calls himself his servant. The term “servant” also needs some clarification. Unlike today, a servant in those days would actually be owned by the master. He, his family, his possessions, all belonged to the master.
