Crucifixion

“There are several problems with García’s claims. The most obvious is that the Bible indeed says that Jesus was crucified with nails. Thomas reasonably expected to see nail imprints on Jesus’ hands and feet, and Jesus showed them to Thomas: ‘look at my hands’ (John 20:27).” - C.Leaders

“The Bible doesn’t say Jesus was nailed to a cross. Telling the story of Christ’s death, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John simply say that Roman soldiers crucified him. They don’t say how.” - CToday

“All three of these are true. Behind the death on the cross is the Father, the Son, and you and me. We should be careful, however, in how we talk about these realities.” - Kevin DeYoung

“God’s perspective, Christ’s perspective, Satan’s perspective, sin’s perspective, and our perspective.” - D.A. Carson

“Jesus predicted in Matthew 12:39–40 that he would be in the grave for three days and three nights….Culturally, for Jews, it means part of one day, a full day, and part of the third day.” - Word by Word

“The nail, which sticks out a few centimeters on each side of the heel bone, was initially noticed shortly after the discovery [2017], but media reports say the association with crucifixion was not determined until recently.” - BPNews

“Of course, the greater object of derision is the ‘God’ on the cross, pictured with the head of an ass. This blasphemous touch shows the contempt that the Son of God received when He suffered this kind of death.” - Veith
