MEDICAL REPORT OF JESUS' CRUCIFICATION

*Jesus Endures a Crown of Thorns*

_After his beating, Jesus was given a purple cloak, a fake staff, and a crown of thorns to inflict further pain and humiliation. The soldiers filed past Jesus, kneeling before him, spitting on him, and taking away his staff, they struck his crown and face with it._

*Medical summary:*
_The blows from the staff would have irritated the nerves bringing about pains that would be similar to an electric shock. Again, Dr. Frederick relates, “Exacerbations and remissions of throbbing bolts of pain would have occurred all the way to Calvary and during the crucifixion, activated by the movements of walking, falling, and twisting; from the pressure of the thorns against the cross; and from the many shoves and blows by the soldiers.”_

_At this time, there would be a significant build-up in the lungs (pleural effusion), making Jesus progressively weaker, light-headed, ashen to color, short of breath, and unsteady on his feet. The increased blood loss is cycling him toward hypovolemic shock._

Rachel Winslow said, "Mother has no company at present. I am sure we would be glad to give him a place with us." She looked strangely agitated. No one noticed it particularly. They were all excited over the strange event, the strangest that First Church people could remember. But the minister insisted on taking char...
