At the hilltop Jesus is untied. He is then nailed to the Cross. The nails are put through His wrists not His palms , as commonly depicted by artists. One foot is put on top of the other and a nail is driven through both of them. Jesus is left on the Cross for hours and dies.
Soldiers come to break the legs of the victims, to bring on death.
The body of Jesus is stabbed in the side with a Roman lancia . The body of Jesus is taken down from the Cross, and wrapped in grave clothes. Scholars disagree as to whether Jesus was wound in strips like a mummy or covered with a burial shroud, e.g., the Shroud of Turin. The text does not resolve this issue. For discussion we will assume a long shroud, which is easy to unwrap.
