"According to the Gospel of John, Roman soldiers broke the legs of the two men executed alongside Jesus to hasten their deaths. But when they came to Jesus, they did not break his legs because they saw he was already dead. This detail has long intrigued historians and doctors because crucifixion victims often survived for many hours, and sometimes days."
"The peer-reviewed study analyzed several possible medical causes of Jesus' death during the execution described in the New Testament. Among the leading explanations identified were suffocation, a blood clot in the lungs and severe blood loss. The researchers concluded that Jesus' death was likely the result of multiple factors leading to circulatory failure of the heart and lungs."
"The aim of this text is to analyze some of the theories described by different authors about the possible causes of Jesus Christ's death during his crucifixion, without any kind of religious bias. The researchers conducted a narrative review examining medical and historical literature to better understand what happened during the crucifixion described in the Gospels."
A peer-reviewed medical study analyzed historical records and scientific research to explain a biblical detail: Jesus died on the cross before two criminals executed alongside him. According to the Gospel of John, Roman soldiers broke the criminals' legs to hasten death but found Jesus already dead. This puzzled historians because crucifixion victims typically survived many hours or days. Researchers examined multiple possible medical causes including suffocation, pulmonary blood clots, and severe blood loss. They concluded Jesus likely died from circulatory failure resulting from combined physiological factors. The study, published in the International Journal of Health Science, conducted a narrative review of medical and historical literature to understand crucifixion's physiological effects without religious bias.
