02/19/2022 – Gospel of John – Chapter 19 commentary / The Crucifixtion and Burial of Jesus.
I wanted to share these parallel synoptic gospel accounts of the crucifixtion:

And also, I am going to share “The Blood and Water” section – verses 33 – 34 from Halley’s Bible Handbook – 33rd edition – Copyright 1962 with an original copyright in 1927:
“Jesus was already dead when the spear pierced his side, after being on the cross six hours. Some medical authorities have said that in the case of heart rupture, and in that case only, the blood collects in the pericardium, the lining around the wall of the heart. , and divides into a short of bloddy clost and watery serum. If this is a fact, then the actual immediate physical cause of Jesus’ death was heart rupture. Under intense pain, and the pressure of his wildly raging blood, his heart burst open. It may be that Jesus’ death was heart rupture. Under intense pain, and the pressure of his wildly raging blood, his heart burst open. It may be that Jesus, literally, died of a heart broken over the sin of the world. It may be be that suffering for human sin is more than the human constitution can stand.
Possibly there may here be a mystic paralle to Genesis 2: 21-22. As God too from Adam’s side, in sleep, that from which He made a bride for Adam, so He took from Jesus’ side, in sleep on the cross, that from which He made the Church, the bride of Jesus.”
In verse 24:”… They divided my garments among, them and cast lots for my clothing. ” The fulfillment of old testament prophecy in this case is Psalm 22:18 Psalm 22 was written by David 1000 years or so before the crucifixtion. Tell me that this can be anything but the crucifixtion scene, long before this horrific execution was brought into the world scene by the Romans.
Soli Deo Gloria indeed!
