Suffering of Highest degree.
Jesus Suffered the highest degree of pain a person can go through. Crucifixion is the most cruel way of death penalty that is practiced at any point of time in the history of the world to incur maximal pain. The magnitude of pain He suffered is studied widely.
Jesus had to go through both emotional and physical pain. Both were equally painful.
# Flogged 39 times with whip which consisted of small pieces of bone and metal attached to a number of leather strands. This brought Jesus to the point of death. Flesh came out of Jesus’s body exposing mass of muscle and bone. Extreme blood loss occurred during the flogging.
# A crown of thorns was pierced into His head. The thorns were of 1 and 2 inch long. The blows on His head drive the thorns into the scalp causing severe bleeding.
# Even though His physical condition was so bad, He was forced to carry a heave cross. Many times He fell with the cross. He was almost at the verge of death and totally disfigured.
# Crucifixion process Jesus went through was utterly painful. Jesus was laid on it. Nails of 7 inch long were driven in the wrists causing extreme pain. Feet were nailed with knees bent.
# By this time Jesus suffered loss of blood and dehydrated state and lost all strength.
# When the cross was erected there is tremendous strain resulted in the dislocation of joints of shoulders and elbow joints.
# Jesus found extremely difficult to breath because of hangging position on the cross which resulted in severe cramps. Shallow breathing caused lung to collapse. Heart is stressed and eventually failed.
