What were the 5 wounds of Jesus?

Answer 1

His hands where the nails entered (2 wounds) His feet where a single nail pierced both (2 wounds) His side where the Roman soldier pierced it (1 wound) [John 19:34] Total 5 wounds In addition to these, of course, he had several small wounds from the crown of thorns, but these are not included in the wounds. He also had many wounds from being whipped, but these are not included in the list of the five wounds either.

Answer 2

Fearing that the weight of Christs body would tear the flesh in the palms of His hands they also drove nails through His wrists. The nail in his feet make up five nails. I do not think that you can include the wound in His side.

I disagree with this answer, as far as I have learned the 5 wounds were the following.

His back through the flogging.

His head because of the crown of thorns.

His wrists nailed to the cross.

His feet nailed to the cross.

His side, being pierced by the lance of the Roman soldier.

5 different areas of the body. 5 different wounds.

Answer 3

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Five Wounds of the Church was a book written by Antonio Rosmini in 1832. It was published in 1848 after Pio Nono (Pope Pius IX) came to the Papal throne. It was put on the Index of Forbidden Books until a few years before Vatican Council II. Many of the points covered in the book were addressed by that Council. The Five Wounds are:

1. The division between people and clergy at worship.

2. The insufficient education of the clergy

3. Disunion amongst the Bishops

4. The nomination of Bishops in the hands of civil government.

5. The enslavement of Church's goods (by the State and by the lack of poverty of the members of the Church.

Answer 4

There are no special names in The Bible for all the injuries Jesus received at his 'trial'. It is only said that Jesus had 5 wounds.
