Where does it say Jesus was nailed to a cross?

Answer 1

yes

Roman Catholic AnswerDespite the crucifixes everyone sees, modern research indicates that Our Blessed Lord was most probably nailed through His wrists, as His Hands would have torn and would have been unable to bear the weight of His Body. There was probably a single nail through both feet to keep them from failing. He would have had to raise His Body on those three nails for every breath as the weight of your body when hanging like that makes you unable to breath in. The torture is excruciating as you can not even pass out from the pain, you wake up in order to raise yourself to breath the next time. The pain in your wrists and feet from the nails is beyond belief and even worse when you have to raise your weight to breath. Death finally comes from asphyxiation. Which is why they broke the legs of the two men who were still alive: with their legs broken, they couldn't raise themselves to breath in, so they suffocated.

Answer 2

Even though Jesus is frequently depicted as being nailed through the hands and/or feet, this would actually not have been enough to support his entire body weight. Roman crucifixion was usually through both the wrists and feet, and there would have been a beam near the foot of the cross to help support the weight and keep the person from slipping/falling off.

Answer 3

The Bible doesn't actually say Jesus was nailed to the cross. The Bible does say Jesus was crucified. Crucify means to nail to a cross or tie to a cross.

Mark 15:25 Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.

After Jesus' resurrection Thomas talks about nails and Jesus' hands:

John 20:25 The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord." So he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."

So it is not wrong to assume Jesus was nailed to a cross.

Answer 4

The Greek translation of the Bible does not specify the exact shape of the 'stauros' or 'xulon on which Christ was crucified. If it was a matter of importance, it surely would have stated it clearly. Here is one of the places 'cross' is mentioned and another which mentions 'tree.'

John 19:19New King James Version (NKJV)19 Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was:JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.


1 Peter 2:24New King James Version (NKJV)24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness ÂÂby whose stripes you were healed.
