It could have gone either way. The actual cause of death for those being crucified is varied. Some would die from loss of blood. More often they died from exposure, starvation, and suffocation.

So once the person is no longer able to support their weight on the nails in their feet, they have to hang awkwardly in a position that doesn't allow their lungs to expand and they're no longer able to breathe properly. And so they suffocate and they can't breathe anymore and they die that way. It's not a good way to go.

Once he's put up on the cross, Jesus has seven sayings, seven things that he famously says before he dies. First, he says, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. Speaking of his executioners. And then next, he's actually next to two criminals who were also crucified on the same day, one of whom derides Jesus. But the other comes to his defense.

And Jesus says to the latter criminal, today you will be with me in paradise. And then Jesus says to his mother, who was there watching him die, Woman, behold your son, as he points to John, thereby giving John the responsibility to watch over his family after he is dead. He then despairs and cries out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Subsequently, the effects of the torture and execution begin to kick in. Jesus then says, I thirst, after which he is given a disgusting mixture of vinegar and gall, which he rejects. And then his final two sayings are, It is finished, and Father, into your hands I commend my spirit. The Romans didn't want to offend Jewish sensibilities by leaving the bodies up on the Sabbath day.

So for the two criminals next to Jesus, they break their legs to speed up their deaths. But when they come to Jesus, he's already dead, presumably because he was tortured more than the other criminals prior to his crucifixion. And so they pierce his side with a spear just to be sure that he's actually dead.

And when they do pierce his side, blood and water comes out, which is something that happens after someone's been dead for a little bit. The water separates from the blood. After that, two wealthy followers of Jesus by the names of Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus then take his body, take it off the cross and dress it and give him a proper burial in a well-appointed tomb.

Now, obviously, up to this point, any single point in the life of Jesus can be challenged. Any of you who don't believe in Jesus are obviously not going to believe in any of the miracles discussed. But the preceding account still probably forms a pretty coherent narrative of what Jesus's life was like.

But this is the part where the believers obviously have to part with the nonbelievers, because what happens next is Mary Magdalene and the other Mary. So this is not his mother, but a third Mary come to the tomb and they find the stone that guarded the entrance rolled away. and they run into an angel who tells them, fear not, for I know that you seek Jesus, which was crucified.

He is not here, for he is risen. As he said, come see the place where the Lord lay. Okay, that is from Matthew. According to Luke, the angel says, why seek ye the living among the dead? According to John, it is Mary who first encounters Jesus, but many of the disciples speak with him and even eat and socialize with him. According to Matthew, Jesus ended his work on earth with these words.
