<font color=mediumblue face = Verdana size=2></a>There were many defining moments in the life of Jesus. Two of them were
his baptism by John the Baptist, and his crucifixion by the Roman authorities.
The canonical gospels (Mark, Matthew, Luke and John) are basically in agreement
about the events in Jesus' life between his baptism and crucifixion. But they
differ greatly when describing the events before his baptism and after his
death. Some liberal theologians have concluded that the birth, childhood and
resurrection stories were pieced together by the authors of the gospels out of
developing legends that were circulating among various Christian groups at the
time. Conservative theologians believe in the inerrancy of the Bible
and attempt to reconcile the apparently conflicting gospels into a single
coherent picture.

Gospel passages: </P></FONT>

face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">By combining the various gospels' accounts
Jesus' death and resurrection, one can develop a common story that
is consistent with most of the Biblical texts: Simon from Cyrene
was pressed into service to carry the cross from Jerusalem to
Golgatha, the place of crucifixion. There, Jesus was offered a
drink of wine mixed with a bitter substance. He refused. He was
nailed to the cross through his palms and feet. Two robbers were
crucified with him; one on either side. People passing by hurled
insults. From the 6th to the 9th hour, it became dark. Jesus cried
out. He was offered vinegar to drink. He cried out again and died.
The veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom by an unknown
force. Joseph of Arimathea obtained permission to take Jesus' body
to his private tomb. He wrapped the body in a clean linen cloth,
placed it in the tomb and sealed the entrance. On Sunday morning,
an unknown number of women came to the tomb. The stone had been
rolled away. They found that Jesus' body was missing.</FONT>
