  • CTD042 What does the centurion say when Jesus dies?

    The article explores the apparent contradiction in the Gospels concerning the centurion's words at Jesus' death. While Luke stresses his innocence, Mark emphasizes the recognition of Jesus as the Son of God. These perspectives reveal the theological diversity of the Gospels, conveying Jesus' innocence and his saving death. The evangelists report words that are significant to their theological purposes.

  • CTD043 In which language did Jesus speak?

    Article CTD043 addresses the alleged contradiction between Matthew (“Eli, Eli…”) and Mark (“Eloï, Eloï…”) regarding Jesus’ cry on the cross. Linguistic analysis shows that Jesus spoke Aramaic (as evidenced by “sabachthani” in both texts) and that the difference between “Eli” (the Hebrew form) and “Eloï” (the Aramaic form) simply reflects each evangelist’s adaptation to his readership. There is no contradiction.

    Mark 15.39 (King James Version) :
    And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
