Crucifixion
Crucifixion was a shameful and painful form of execution used by ancient peoples, especially the Romans. Jesus was crucified between criminals, fulfilling Scripture and enduring the curse associated with hanging on a tree.
Biblical Usage
Jesus was crucified between two malefactors, with soldiers keeping watch. His refusal of the initial medicated drink, the offer of sour wine, the omission of leg-breaking, and the wound from the spear are included in the Gospel accounts.
