Crucified body changes the process of
- From a medical point of view to understand the death of the Lord Jesus suffered the pain of that day
of: C. Truman Davis
A few years ago I read Jim Bishop wrote, changes in interest occurred. I suddenly found that even the crucified so many years just as an event, the process of going through that terrible neither concept of situation, but also the lack of any particular feeling. Even as a doctor, I never He really has not thought about what death is. the gospel writers are not clear on account of these. In their time, crucifixion and flogging is a very common thing, everyone knows the process, a detailed description is not necessary, so The Bible only says: 『Pilate ... Jesus flogged, and to be crucified』.
Although the Bible does not record the details, but from a physiological and anatomical point of view, we can go to see Passion of the Lord must be in the process of going through. the body of Jesus of Nazareth encountered in the last few hours how about the torments do?
Gethsemane Jesus physical suffering is the beginning of the garden of Gethsemane. The Bible says God , that has started to sweat will cause the loss of body water and salt.
Some people think that sweat with the blood of Jesus when it is not impossible. in a state of extreme tension, because the surrounding sweat glands capillary rupture, causing blood oozing from the skin together with the sweat of the phenomenon in medicine called > Although the tension and lonely after his arrest he would cause some endocrine and autonomic nervous system and metabolic implications, but this is not directly harmful, but it will speed up consumption, so that the experience was even harder.
s two significance in medicine more significant events occurred in front of the high priest Caiaphas trial. Here was his first physical harm. first one of the officers hit his face with the palm of your hand, then a group of people with fists and His hands beat.
in a sleepless night before Pilate, the body has some dehydration, and because pain was beaten and bruised all over; dawn, Jesus, and it was escorted Pilate was come, and from there went to Pilate, where Herod Antipas, and then back again to Pilate to be whipped.
order by the emperor Caesar, is whipping a certain way. First to be stripped off his clothes, his hands were tied to a pole over their heads, and then began to whip the Roman soldiers. They used to beat prisoners is a short whip, whip with each a good few tough Browne, Browne's top each with two small balls made of lead. According to the rules the soldiers would use his strength to the largest and most fierce real hard whip wielded the heavy pumping down. Jesus on the shoulder, back , and legs are like being violently whipped. At first, the re-implementation of the thong is cut skin only; later, the thong to the deep cut into the subcutaneous tissue, causing the skin capillaries and small veins rupture, blood Mimi to out infiltration; Eventually, even the muscles in larger arteries are broken, blood has been flowing out continuously.
those little shot hit the body, at first is caused by large pieces of skin deep stasis; then continue a place to play on the flaws of the hit. Finally the skin of his back as if by tearing into a long strip hanging under a vague, rotten rotten piece of fat and blood in the muscles. in charge of supervision centurion determine the prisoner was almost dead when it will stop the whipping.
laugh
Jesus had half fainted after his hands were relaxed to the ground or lying on the stones, the body is their own The flow of wet blood. Roman soldiers looked at the humble, half-dead Jesus, for He has called himself King of the Jews, full of mockery and disdain. They tied a robe on his shoulders in his hands put a reed token. They also need a crown, so they use the thorns (when used to fiddle with an outdoor fire and warmed himself for a long thorn branches of plants) compiled turn up wearing a crown in his head. The crown is close to the scalp, the long gill tissue rich in blood vessels cut, blood flows continuously from the scalp, face and neck. ridicule over, they take the reed, and smote his head, his head was hit Jing Guan moving around, too many designated the longer and deeper wounds. Finally, they tired of to the back of the robe from Jesus stripped off. gown has long been coagulated blood and serum stick to the wound, so rudely expense down to the dying A violent Jesus back pain, blood and from the wound has been poured out to kill.
Calvary
according to Jewish custom, the soldiers apparently took him back to the original clothes and Him. They tied the cross of Jesus crossbar heavy shoulders, and the other two robbers led by a centurion, slowly come to the place of execution. This section of the road about six hundred meters.
While Jesus standing efforts to move forward, but the great weight of wood, with many of the previous flow of blood, he fell down. rough cut wood and his neck and shoulders, headlong into the skin and muscles. He tried to stand up , but not enough effort. centurion do not want to delay the time to seize the sidelines of a base rib is one of Simon, followed him back the piece of wood for Jesus. Jesus still continues to bleed, the body also braved the Ice sticky sweat. to the place where enforcement of sentences, he has once again been stripped naked, leaving only a cloth around the waist.
crucifixion began. the soldiers took gall (a mild narcotic) modulation of wine to Jesus to drink, he did not accept. they ordered Simon the crossbar on the ground, and then took him down to the ground, shoulders against the wood Flanagan. One side of the wrist, the soldiers found it in Jesus did not bone passes through the one side from the rough side of his wrist where the nails hammered into the wood to go deep. the other side too, when they nail not to pay particular attention to his arms stretched too tightly, so that inmates have little physical space sheets bent. and then they fixed wooden crossbar and straight, then nail the top in a straight wooden sign that read, nailed with a nail through the feet of wood, so that the knees can bend slightly.
on the cross when Jesus makes the body weight of the body falling down, the wrist in the median nerve ( median nerve, an intermediate in the wrist and hand through the thick nerve) compression force to a nail, lightning-like pain from the palm of your hand to reach the mind through the arm, hand pain from scratch, as if to explode. When his knee-jerk their feet A little of the top of the body, the body weight to increase the pressure on that nail feet, and another fire tear-like pain from foot bones (metatarsal bones) sent between nerve to.
in such a painful struggle, another phenomenon occurred. arm gradually fatigue, weakness, muscle twitching cramps started pounding, resulting in continuous, intense pain of death. This time he lost control of the ability of muscle arms, torso hanging In the arms, big chest (pectoral muscles, the large chest muscle) paralysis, intercostal muscle (intercostal muscles, small muscles between the ribs) is no way to work in the air can be inhaled into the lungs, but no way to call out. Jesus struggled the top of the body to a little, good little for breath. finally his lungs and blood concentration of carbon dioxide to a level slightly eased the point of muscle cramps.
last words
He temporarily to his body twitching with spasms look up top, top and let the lungs get a little air exchange. His Seven is in such pain, shortness of breath to tell you.
points down He sees his clothes twist lots Roman soldiers, he prayed to the Father: Luke 23:33)
the second time, he to the penitent robber, said: son! / p>
the fourth time, he shouted to the Father: br> He has experienced great pain for several hours: the waves pull the mad chaos arm twisting spasms, while a burst of oxygen, the body behind the rough wood cutting moves up and down pulling pulpy flesh has terrible pain when . Then, a new torture came. His chest began to feel the pain like to be crushed, it was his heart membrane cavity (pericardial cavity, the heart of the narrow space parcel) and slowly filled with serum, which oppresses the heart .
His life is coming an end. has exceeded the limit the loss of body fluids, pericardial effusion is the heart of oppression and struggle just to jack sent thick, sticky, lack of oxygen but with too much carbon dioxide blood, tortured lungs panic a little hard to inhale air with oxygen. extreme water shortages continue to stimulate the brain tissue, he Chuanchu a short period of gas, exclaimed: : 28)
15:34)
someone to take a sponge dipped in vinegar to his mouth. His body has been stretched to the limit, he feel dead The cold penetrated all the tissues of his body. this understanding to the sixth sentence: ; His mission accomplished suffering, He can allow his body died. with the last point can come out of strength, his feet to rip to that nail hard Yi Deng, legs straight, for the last breath, so much: crucified is usually used to interrupt his legs to end the life of prisoners, which is called crurifracture.'s role is not to break their legs and then be able to push up the trunk, chest, there is no way of tight muscles relax, the prisoners did not way ventilation, and soon died choking. The two robbers legs were broken, but when the soldiers came to Jesus and found that he had broken gas, not to play him in the leg.
In order to ensure that Jesus is indeed dead, the soldiers pierced Jesus rib gun has pierced the heart inside. pericardial cavity of the water and the blood inside the heart to flow out from the wound. It is clear that the direct cause of death of Jesus is due to lack of water shock, and pericardial pressure caused by contraction of heart failure, rather than the general cause of the death of crucifixion asphyxiation.
Jesus was on the cross for us so - for you and for me to die.
resurrection of Jesus in the end no?
