Biblical Accounts:

As indicated by the records in the Gospels, the regal officers, guided by Jesus’ pupil Judas Iscariot, captured Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Judas got cash (30 bits of silver) (Matthew 26:14–16) for selling out Jesus and told the gatekeepers that whomever he kisses is the one they are to capture. Following his capture, Jesus was taken to the place of Annas, the dad in-law of the esteemed cleric, Caiaphas. There he was cross examined with little outcome and sent bound to Caiaphas the esteemed cleric where the Sanhedrin had gathered (John 18:1–24).

Clashing declaration against Jesus was delivered by numerous observers, to which Jesus addressed nothing. At last the devout minister implored Jesus to react under serious pledge, saying “I beseech you, by the Living God, to let us know, are you the Anointed One, the Son of God?” Jesus affirmed vaguely, “You have said it, and in time you will see the Son of Man situated at the correct hand of the Almighty, going ahead the billows of Heaven.” The esteemed cleric censured Jesus for obscenity, and the Sanhedrin agreed with a sentence of death (Matthew 26:57–66). Dwindle, holding up in the patio, likewise denied Jesus multiple times to onlookers while the cross examinations were continuing similarly as Jesus had anticipated.

Toward the beginning of the day, the entire gathering carried Jesus to the Roman representative Pontius Pilate under charges of subverting the country, contradicting duties to Caesar, and making himself a lord (Luke 23:1–2). Pilate approved the Jewish pioneers to pass judgment on Jesus as indicated by their very own law and execute condemning; in any case, the Jewish pioneers answered that they were not permitted by the Romans to complete a sentence of death (John 18:31).

Pilate addressed Jesus and told the gathering that there was no reason for condemning. After discovering that Jesus was from Galilee, Pilate alluded the case to the leader of Galilee, King Herod, who was in Jerusalem for the Passover Feast. Herod addressed Jesus however got no answer; Herod sent Jesus back to Pilate. Pilate told the get together that neither he nor Herod saw Jesus as liable; Pilate made plans to have Jesus whipped and discharged (Luke 23:3–16). Under the direction of the central clerics, the group requested Barabbas, who had been detained for submitting murder during an uprising. Pilate asked what they would have him do with Jesus, and they requested, “Kill him” (Mark 15:6–14). Pilate’s better half had seen Jesus in a fantasy prior that day, and she cautioned Pilate to “have nothing to do with this honest man” (Matthew 27:19). Pilate had Jesus lashed and afterward brought him out to the group to discharge him. The main ministers educated Pilate regarding another charge, requesting Jesus be condemned to death “since he professed to be God’s child.” This probability filled Pilate with dread, and he brought Jesus back inside the royal residence and requested to know from where he came (John 19:1–9).

The sentence composed was “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.” Jesus conveyed his cross to the site of execution (helped by Simon of Cyrene), called the “spot of the Skull”, or “Golgotha” in Hebrew and in Latin “Calvary”.

Joseph of Arimathea, an individual from the Sanhedrin and mystery supporter of Jesus, who had not agreed to his judgment, went to Pilate to demand the group of Jesus (Luke 23:50–52). Another mystery adherent of Jesus and individual from the Sanhedrin named Nicodemus achieved a hundred-pound weight blend of flavors and helped wrap the group of Jesus (John 19:39–40). Pilate solicited affirmation from the centurion from whether Jesus was dead (Mark 15:44). A fighter penetrated the side of Jesus with a spear making blood and water stream out (John 19:34), and the centurion educated Pilate that Jesus was dead.
