Watching Jesus Die

It was Springtime, Passover weekend of 3793 according to the Jewish calendar. Nights were still cold and the early morning wind was brisk. Thousands of Jews crammed into Jerusalem and were scurrying around the Holy City buying bread, wine, spices, and other essentials for the Passover celebration. In this mix of characters were those who made up the cast at Calvary’s Cross, all sorts of people. There were the belligerent and the benevolent, the sinister and the saintly. The Jewish elite were there like Annas and the High Priest Caiaphas, as well as the Jewish Sanhedrin. There were Romans there too, such as the prefect of Judea Pontius Pilate, the Centurion at the cross, the Roman killing squad, and other Roman soldiers. There were Jesus’ disciples and faithful followers of the Messiah. And there were simple passersby, members of the crowd, both for and opposed to Jesus. And we must not forget that Satan was there too. {429 pages; Softcover; Book 2 of 7 in "Crucifixion : A Multidisciplinary Investigation of the Death of Jesus of Nazareth"}
