And it's mocking, right? Because crucifixion was for the lowest of the low. It was for like slaves. In fact, if you were a Roman citizen, you were banned from being crucified. Wow.
Well, so the story is that they say, we're going to crucify you. And he says, it's like too big of an honor to die like my Lord. And they say, well, we can fix that.

Shut your mouth, buddy. Listen, the Romans were pretty brutal. Oh, yeah. But this is why we know. Like we have... It's interesting. We know a lot about crucifixion, but crucifixion was seen as so disgusting. I believe it was Cicero who said that like the word crucifixion shouldn't even be on a Roman man's lips. I mean, the word excruciating, ex is off of in Latin and cruce, off the cross.

So that's where we get that word is because this was designed to humiliate and it was designed to be as painful as possible. There was actually a really good article done by JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, which was done by a number of, I think it was in the 70s, early 80s. It was done by a group of biblical scholars and then medical professionals.

And so they looked at the conventions of what we do know about Roman crucifixion. And then they looked at the descriptions in the gospel to try to figure out, okay, if we could diagnose how Jesus died, how would he have died? And so they basically came up with this idea that he probably asphyxiated to death. You kind of drown in your own blood.

But the chances of Jesus surviving the crucifixion, I think, are narrow to none. And the chance of him appearing three days later, completely fine. I mean, you don't, if the first thing you do, if you survive a crucifixion and then you go and you find your disciples, the first thing you say is not, you know, peace be with you. It's get me to a hospital, right?

So this is an interesting question because of the differences between when the Gospel of John says Jesus died compared to the synoptics. Because John appears to be using the Roman convention of counting time. And the other Gospels, when they describe the timing, appear to be using the Jewish ones. And actually, if you correlate between the two, they match up pretty well. So...
