 HOW JESUS CHRIST WAS DIED 

According to Christian belief, Jesus Christ was crucified and died on a cross. The crucifixion is a central event in Christian theology, seen as the ultimate sacrifice for the redemption of humanity's sins.


The biblical account of Jesus' death is primarily found in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. According to these accounts:


1. Arrest and Trial:

   Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane following the betrayal by Judas Iscariot. He underwent several trials, including before the Jewish Sanhedrin and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. Pilate found no guilt in Jesus but, under pressure from the crowd, reluctantly agreed to have him crucified.




2. Scourging:

   Before the crucifixion, Jesus was subjected to a severe scourging or flogging. This involved the use of a whip with embedded pieces of metal or bone, causing intense pain and significant blood loss.


3. The Crucifixion:

   Jesus was then led to Golgotha, the place of the skull, where he was crucified along with two criminals. Crucifixion was a Roman method of execution involving the victim being nailed to a wooden cross. The Gospels mention that Jesus was nailed to the cross through his hands and feet.


4. The Inscription:

   A sign was placed above Jesus on the cross with the inscription "INRI," which stands for "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews" in Latin.


5. The Death:

   Jesus hung on the cross for several hours, during which time darkness fell over the land. According to the Gospels, he spoke seven last sayings, including the famous "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34) and "It is finished" (John 19:30). Eventually, he cried out with a loud voice and gave up his spirit, signifying his death.


6. Piercing the Side:

   To ensure death, Roman soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear. Blood and water flowed out, which is a significant detail in the Gospel of John (John 19:34).


7. Burial:

   Jesus' body was taken down from the cross and placed in a tomb. According to Christian belief, he rose from the dead three days later, an event celebrated as the Resurrection.


It's important to note that the details of Jesus' death and crucifixion are central to Christian theology and vary in interpretation among different Christian denominations. The narrative is foundational to the Christian understanding of salvation, emphasizing the concept of atonement through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ.

Contrasting elements of 'Innocence' and 'Experience' in Blake's poetry 'The Lamb' and 'The Tyger'.

  Contrasting elements of 'Innocence' and 'Experience' in Blake's poetry 'The Lamb' and 'The Tyger'.   William Blake followed his own maxim   that “without contraries is no progression” when in 1794 he published together his 'Songs of Innocence' and 'Songs of Experience' the form and manner of a single book and also described his 'Songs' in the title page as "Showing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul". ( 2). The two sets of 'Songs'   are very different from each other in character, and accordingly does the poet group his verses under two main headings.   ‘The Lamb' ( from 'Songs of Innocence') and 'The Tyger’( from 'Songs of Experience') are both representative poem of Blake. They celebrate two contrary states of human soul – innocence and experience. The 'Songs of Innocence' professes an imaginative vision of the state of innocence; the 'Songs of Experien...
