“The establishment of Judaism clearly saw that Jesus threatened their law, their way of life, and the very existence of their nation,” (Grosenore 302). “It was the hostility of the Jewish religious leaders to Jesus that led to his arrest and execution,” (Greer 42). “The priests in council moved to arrest Jesus,” (Grosenore 302). His captors had come for him at night because they had feared that His followers would be too willing to fight for him and they were not interested in a small battle (Gorman 92). When the men came for Jesus, He boldly admitted that He was the one that they were looking for, and said that if He was who they were looking for then to let His disciples go (Gorman 89-90).

Part of a crucifixion was humiliation and this is why the soldiers hung Jesus almost nude and beat him (Gorman 167-168). The person being crucified had to carry a piece of wood on his back and it was attached to a post placed in upright in the ground (Doney 17). “The victim’s wrists were tied or sometimes nailed to the cross-beam before it was hoisted up and fixed to the upright,” (Doney 17).
