Q&A Home > C > Crucifixion

• I have questions regarding the Crucifxion:
  1. Did Jesus spend 6 hours on the Cross? And is the timeline in the following website correct http://christianity.about.com/od/biblestudyresources/a/jesusfinalhours.htm?
  2. Did Jesus die outside of Jerusalem? If so, what makes it the "Holy City"?
• If Judas had not turned in the Lord Jesus Christ to the Pharisees would there be no Crucifixion or Holy Resurrection, and would we have been saved from sin?
• Is it true that death by crucifixion takes place over a lengthy period of forty days on the cross? If so, how come our Lord Jesus Christ died in three hours?
• Jesus was crucified in the middle of two others. Is there any significance or symbolism to this?
• The Holy Gospel of St. Mark 15:34 seems to be repeated somewhere else as "My power, my power it has left me." Was this in anything you've read?
• When the Lord died on the Cross, what died? His Holy Body?
• Where were the nails dug; on the wrist or palm of our Lord Jesus Christ?
• Who were the disciples present at Jesus Christ's crucifixion?
• "It was the third hour when they crucified him" (Mark 15:25). Does this not contradict what is known at our church that our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified in the sixth hour, according to the Agpeya prayers? Also according to the other three holy gospels, none of them has mentioned specifically in which hour our Lord was crucified.
