The '''crucifixion of Jesus''' was the [[Capital_punishment|execution]] by [[crucifixion]] of [[Jesus|Jesus of Nazareth]] in 1st-century [[Roman Judaea|Judaea]], most likely in AD 32. It is described in the four [[canonical gospels]], referred to in the [[New Testament epistles]], attested to by [[#Other accounts and references|other ancient sources]], and is broadly accepted as one of the events most likely to have occurred during his life. There is no consensus among historians on the details.

According to the canonical gospels, [[Jesus in Christianity|Jesus]] was [[Arrest of Jesus|arrested]] and [[Sanhedrin trial of Jesus|tried by the Sanhedrin]], and then [[Pilate's court|sentenced by Pontius Pilate]] to be [[Flagellation of Christ|scourged]], and finally crucified by the [[Roman Empire|Romans]]. It portrays his death as a [[sacrifice]] for [[sin]].

Jesus was stripped of his clothing and offered vinegar mixed with [[myrrh]] or gall (likely [[posca]]), to drink after saying "I thirst". At [[Golgotha]], he was then hung between two convicted thieves and, according to the [[Gospel of Mark]], died by the 9th hour of the day (at around 3:00 p.m.). During this time, the soldiers affixed a sign to the top of the cross stating "[[Jesus, King of the Jews|Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews]]" which, according to the [[Gospel of John]] ([[John 19:20]]), was written in three languages (Hebrew, Latin, and Greek). They then divided his garments among themselves and cast lots for his seamless robe, according to the Gospel of John. The Gospel of John also states that, after Jesus' death, one soldier (named in extra-Biblical tradition as [[Longinus]]) pierced his side with a spear to be certain that he had died, then blood and water gushed from the wound. The Bible describes seven statements that Jesus made while he was on the cross, as well as several [[supernatural]] events that occurred.

Collectively referred to as the [[Passion of Jesus|Passion]], Jesus's suffering and [[Redeemer (Christianity)|redemptive]] death by crucifixion are the central aspects of [[Christian theology]] concerning the doctrines of [[Salvation in Christianity|salvation and atonement]].
