The Bible details the crucifixion of Jesus as a pivotal event, where He was executed outside Jerusalem, fulfilling God's predetermined plan.
The crucifixion of Jesus, as described in the Gospel of Luke 23, underscores both the fulfillment of prophecy and the depths of human depravity. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, where despite being found innocent, He is delivered to be crucified at the demand of the people. This act was not only a judicial miscarriage of justice but also the outworking of God's sovereign plan as seen in Acts 4:27-28, which states that the rulers and the people were gathered against His holy servant Jesus to do whatever God's hand and purpose had predestined. His crucifixion was shameful, painful, and public, marking the apex of His suffering for the sins of His people.
