釘十架過程身體變化的探討

A Physician Analyzes the Crucifixion )
從醫學的觀點來理解耶穌死亡那日所遭遇的痛苦

原作者C. Truman Davis醫師   編寫者:曾履元。

幾年以前我讀到Jim Bishop寫的〔基督死亡那日(The Day Christ Died)〕裡面關於釘十字架的那段敘述之後,開始對耶穌受難時身體方面所產生的變化發生了興趣。我猛然發覺這麼多年來竟然把釘十架僅僅當成一個事件,對那個過程中經歷的可怕情狀既沒概念、也缺少什麼特別的感覺。甚至,身為一個醫生,我從來也沒想過祂真正的死因是什麼。福音書的作者對這些都沒有清楚的交代。在他們的時代,釘十架和鞭打是很常見的事,過程人人都曉得,沒有必要詳細描述,因此聖經上只寫著:『彼拉多 … 將耶穌鞭打了,交給人釘十字架』。

雖然聖經上沒有紀錄細節,但是從生理和解剖的觀點,我們還是能夠深入看到主在受難過程中所必定經歷的事情。拿撒勒人耶穌的身體在最後幾個小時所遭遇到的怎麼樣的折磨呢?
