torture Crucifixion a common mode of punishment among heathen nations in early times .
It is not certain whether it was known among the ancient Jews ;
probably it was not .
The modes of capital punishment according to the Mosaic law were ,
by the sword (
Ex .
21 ),
strangling ,
fire (
Lev .
20 ),
and stoning (
Deut .
21 ).
This was regarded as the most horrible form of death ,
and to a Jew it would acquire greater horror from the curse in Deut .
21 :
23 .
This punishment began by subjecting the sufferer to scourging .
In the case of our Lord ,
however ,
his scourging was rather before the sentence was passed upon him ,
and was inflicted by Pilate for the purpose ,
probably ,
of exciting pity and procuring his escape from further punishment (
Luke 23 :
22 ;
John 19 :
1 ).
The condemned one carried his own cross to the place of execution ,
which was outside the city ,
in some conspicuous place set apart for the purpose .
Before the nailing to the cross took place ,
a medicated cup of vinegar mixed with gall and myrrh (
the sopor )
was given ,
for the purpose of deadening the pangs of the sufferer .
Our Lord refused this cup ,
that his senses might be clear (
Matt .
27 :
34 ).
The spongeful of vinegar ,
sour wine ,
posca ,
the common drink of the Roman soldiers ,
which was put on a hyssop stalk and offered to our Lord in contemptuous pity (
Matt .
27 :
48 ;
Luke 23 :
36 ),
he tasted to allay the agonies of his thirst (
John 19 :
29 ).
The accounts given of the crucifixion of our Lord are in entire agreement with the customs and practices of the Roman in such cases .
He was crucified between two "
malefactors "
(
Isa .
53 :
12 ;
Luke 23 :
32 ),
and was watched by a party of four soldiers (
John 19 :
23 ;
Matt .
27 :
36 ,
54 ),
with their centurion .
The "
breaking of the legs "
of the malefactors was intended to hasten death ,
and put them out of misery (
John 19 :
31 );
but the unusual rapidity of our Lord '
s death (
19 :
33 )
was due to his previous sufferings and his great mental anguish .
The omission of the breaking of his legs was the fulfilment of a type (
Ex .
12 :
46 ).
He literally died of a broken heart ,
a ruptured heart ,
and hence the flowing of blood and water from the wound made by the soldier '
s spear (
John 19 :
34 ).
Our Lord uttered seven memorable words from the cross ,
namely , (
