Crucifixion, seen from the Cross by James Tissot, c. 1890. The sayings of Jesus on the cross (sometimes called the Seven Last Words from the Cross) are seven expressions biblically attributed to Jesus during his crucifixion. Traditionally, the brief sayings have been called "words". The seven sayings are gathered from the four canonical gospels.
Matthew's crucifixion scene runs for only sixteen verses from 27:35 to 27:51, the same number of verses as in the Gospel of Mark, but one more than the Gospel of Luke, and three more than the Gospel of John. It is postulated that all writers wished to simply recall the facts surrounding Jesus' death, rather than engage in theological reflection.
Matthew 27:53 is the fifty-third verse of the twenty-seventh chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. This verse describes some of the events that occurred upon the death of Jesus. The previous verse mentioned that tombs broke open and the saints inside were resurrected. In this verse, the saints descend upon the Holy City.
Since other verses of the same Psalm are cited in the crucifixion accounts, some commentators consider it a literary and theological creation. Geza Vermes noted the verse is cited in Aramaic rather than the usual Hebrew, and that by the time of Jesus, this phrase had become a proverbial saying in common usage. [155]
There are several references in the Synoptic Gospels (the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke) to Jesus predicting his own death, the first two occasions building up to the final prediction of his crucifixion. [1] Matthew's Gospel adds a prediction, before he and his disciples enter Jerusalem, that he will be crucified there. [2]
Pilate Washes His Hands by James Tissot – Brooklyn Museum. The term "blood curse" refers to a New Testament passage from the Gospel of Matthew, which describes events taking place in Pilate's court before the crucifixion of Jesus, and specifically the alleged willingness of the Jewish crowd to accept liability for Jesus' death.
This verse is based on Mark 15:39, though the author of Matthew makes some modifications. Mention is added of the earthquake, which is not part of Mark's crucifixion narrative. In this verse the earthquake seems to be the prime motivator of the centurion's fear.
John 16 is the sixteenth chapter of the Gospel of John in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.It records Jesus' continued Farewell Discourse to his disciples, set on the last night before his crucifixion.
