That's when these sorts their unbelief. That's when these sorts their unbelief. That's when these sorts of things occur, and we'll see that more of things occur, and we'll see that more of things occur, and we'll see that more more clearly. But if you look, for more clearly. But if you look, for more clearly. But if you look, for example, we'll track this thing through example, we'll track this thing through example, we'll track this thing through the Gospel according to Matthew. Matthew the Gospel according to Matthew. Matthew the Gospel according to Matthew. Matthew chapter 16 verse 21. From that time chapter 16 verse 21. From that time chapter 16 verse 21. From that time Jesus began to show his disciples Jesus began to show his disciples Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief many things from the elders and chief many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes priests and scribes priests and scribes and be killed and be raised up on the and be killed and be raised up on the and be killed and be raised up on the third day.

If you look again in Matthew, Matthew If you look again in Matthew, Matthew If you look again in Matthew, Matthew chapter 17 now. Before it was Matthew chapter 17 now. Before it was Matthew chapter 17 now. Before it was Matthew 16. Now we're in Matthew 17 verse 22. 16. Now we're in Matthew 17 verse 22. 16. Now we're in Matthew 17 verse 22.

And then again in Luke chapter 24. In And then again in Luke chapter 24. In And then again in Luke chapter 24. In Luke chapter 24, this is after Jesus has Luke chapter 24, this is after Jesus has Luke chapter 24, this is after Jesus has risen from the dead, he is walking with risen from the dead, he is walking with risen from the dead, he is walking with some of the disciples to to some of the disciples to to some of the disciples to to to Emmaus, and they're totally to Emmaus, and they're totally to Emmaus, and they're totally bewildered.

Let's look at a little just a little portion of the little portion of the little portion of the of the crucifixion. The crucifixion is of the crucifixion. The crucifixion is of the crucifixion. The crucifixion is is heavily cited throughout the four is heavily cited throughout the four is heavily cited throughout the four gospels. gospels. gospels. John chapter 19 verse 31. John chapter 19 verse 31. John chapter 19 verse 31. Then the Jews, because it was the day of Then the Jews, because it was the day of Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would preparation, so that the bodies would preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath, not remain on the cross on the Sabbath, not remain on the cross on the Sabbath, for the Sabbath was a high day, for the Sabbath was a high day, for the Sabbath was a high day, asked Pilate that their legs might be asked Pilate that their legs might be asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken broken and that they might be taken broken and that they might be taken away.

away. away. So it was what was called a high So it was what was called a high So it was what was called a high Sabbath. Sabbath. Sabbath. This only occurs once every 7 years when This only occurs once every 7 years when This only occurs once every 7 years when the Passover, the beginning of the the Passover, the beginning of the the Passover, the beginning of the Passover, falls on a Friday. That is Passover, falls on a Friday. That is Passover, falls on a Friday. That is called a high Sabbath. That is a special called a high Sabbath. That is a special called a high Sabbath. That is a special day. It only occurs once every 7 years. day. It only occurs once every 7 years. day. It only occurs once every 7 years. And and and And and and And and and And so they didn't want the dead bodies And so they didn't want the dead bodies And so they didn't want the dead bodies there by the in the city. They didn't there by the in the city. They didn't there by the in the city. They didn't want the dead bodies there. And want the dead bodies there. And want the dead bodies there. And so so they they said we can't have these so so they they said we can't have these so so they they said we can't have these hanging there when the Sabbath starts. hanging there when the Sabbath starts. hanging there when the Sabbath starts. This is a high Passover day. And a high This is a high Passover day. And a high This is a high Passover day. And a high Sabbath day. And so the the technique Sabbath day. And so the the technique Sabbath day. And so the the technique was they would break the legs of the was they would break the legs of the was they would break the legs of the people being crucified. They could no people being crucified. They could no people being crucified. They could no longer push up. And so if they couldn't longer push up. And so if they couldn't longer push up. And so if they couldn't push up with their legs, they would push up with their legs, they would push up with their legs, they would asphyxiate. But Jesus was already dead. asphyxiate. But Jesus was already dead. asphyxiate. But Jesus was already dead. So it says and and and this is important So it says and and and this is important So it says and and and this is important because the Bible says not a bone of his because the Bible says not a bone of his because the Bible says not a bone of his was would be broken. was would be broken. was would be broken. So exactly that, not a bone of his was So exactly that, not a bone of his was So exactly that, not a bone of his was broken, but they were pulled out of broken, but they were pulled out of broken, but they were pulled out of joint which the Bible says his bones joint which the Bible says his bones joint which the Bible says his bones would be pulled out of joint. His bones would be pulled out of joint. His bones would be pulled out of joint. His bones were pulled out at were pulled out of were pulled out at were pulled out of were pulled out at were pulled out of joint when he was hung on the cross. So joint when he was hung on the cross. So joint when he was hung on the cross. So in verse 32 it says, "So the soldiers in verse 32 it says, "So the soldiers in verse 32 it says, "So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man came and broke the legs of the first man came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with and of the other who was crucified with and of the other who was crucified with him. But coming to Jesus when they saw him. But coming to Jesus when they saw him. But coming to Jesus when they saw that he was already dead, did not break that he was already dead, did not break that he was already dead, did not break his legs."

his legs." his legs." So what was Jesus? He was already dead. So what was Jesus? He was already dead. So what was Jesus? He was already dead. He was already dead. So when people say He was already dead. So when people say He was already dead. So when people say Jesus never really died on the cross, Jesus never really died on the cross, Jesus never really died on the cross, they're wrong. The Bible says that that they're wrong. The Bible says that that they're wrong. The Bible says that that that these soldiers saw him and they saw that these soldiers saw him and they saw that these soldiers saw him and they saw that he was already dead. They had to that he was already dead. They had to that he was already dead. They had to assess this properly. If people come off assess this properly. If people come off assess this properly. If people come off the cross alive, they have to go up in the cross alive, they have to go up in the cross alive, they have to go up in his stead. Nobody's coming off the cross his stead. Nobody's coming off the cross his stead. Nobody's coming off the cross alive. alive. alive. It says, "But one of the soldiers It says, "But one of the soldiers It says, "But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear and pierced his side with a spear and pierced his side with a spear and immediately blood and water came out." immediately blood and water came out." immediately blood and water came out." Immediately blood and water. Why blood Immediately blood and water. Why blood Immediately blood and water. Why blood and water? Jesus had already been dead and water? Jesus had already been dead and water? Jesus had already been dead for several hours. After 30 minutes the for several hours. After 30 minutes the for several hours. After 30 minutes the blood starts coagulating. So Jesus had blood starts coagulating. So Jesus had blood starts coagulating.
