What happened to the spear that pierced Jesus?

Answer 1

A Roman soldier -allegedly named 'Longinus'- pierced Jesus' side with what came to be known as "The Holy Lance" , according to the Book of John, at Chapter 19, verse 34. This act prevented the other soldiers from breaking His legs.

Answer 2

A prison keeper or master of torture pierced Jesus with a sword. In other words it was probably a roman or Jewish soldier for the Roman army.The name is not recorded in The Bible.

In any case the piercing was done as part of the normal course of duty in terms of certifying death, as specified by the separation of the blood and the collection of fluid in the chest cavity as the result of crucifixion. Since the relevant soldier was only doing their duty and the important matter was the death of Jesus it is not surprising there is no record of the person's name.

Answer 3

If indeed a soldier pierced Jesus with a spear at the crucifixion, the soldier would no doubt have continued to use that spear wherever he was stationed until it was of no further use to him. We can also question whether the event actually occurred or whether the author of John was writing Christian midrash. No other gospel mentions Jesus being speared, and in fact the synoptic gospels say that none of the disciples was even at the crucifixion to provide reliable witnesses to events that occurred, although women looked from afar off (Mark 15:40).

Answer 4

Nobody pierced Jesus with a sword. But a roman soldier did pierce Jesus side with a spear to make sure that he had died realy.
