耶稣被钉十字架(英語:Crucifixion of Jesus),耶穌被逮捕後以十字架處死的事件,一般認為发生在公元1世纪的犹太行省,最可能在公元30到33年之间。虽然历史学家对這個事件的准确细节并没有达成共识[1][2],但這個事件在《聖經》中正統的《四福音》皆有描述,在《新約书信》中有提及,而且也被其他古代资料证实,除了基督徒的資料以外,并也被異教徒的史料证实,學者多數認為這是一個历史事件[3]。
耶穌受洗和被钉十字架被认为是历史中的耶稣的两个确定历史事件。[5]詹姆斯·邓恩(James Dunn)说,“耶稣生平中的这两个事实几乎得到普遍认同”,“它是如此真实以至于无法否定或怀疑它的历史性”,因此它们常常是研究历史中的耶稣的出发点。[6]巴特·叶尔曼说,耶稣被彼拉多钉十字架是关于他生平的最确定元素。[7]约翰·克洛森说,耶稣被钉十字架是确定的历史事实。[8]Eddy和Boyd说,现在我们“可以非常肯定”在历史中非基督徒确认了耶稣被钉十字架的事件。[9]克雷格·布隆伯格(Craig Blomberg)说,大多数学者在第三次探索历史中的耶稣时认为十字架事件是不可否认的。[10]克里斯托弗·塔克特(Christopher M. Tuckett)指出,尽管很难确定耶稣死亡的确切原因,但关于他的一个不争事实是他被钉死在十字架上。[11]
虽然学者们同意耶稣被钉十字架的历史性,但对它的原因和背景提出不同的理论。例如,E. P. Sanders和Paula Fredriksen都支持十字架的历史性,但认为耶稣没有预言他自己被钉十字架,他被钉十字架的预言是“教会创造”出来的(第126页)。[12]Geza Vermes同样也认为被钉十字架是一个历史事件,但他提供了自己的解释和历史背景。[12]
约翰·梅尔(John P. Meier)认为耶稣被钉十字架是历史事实,并指出,基于尴尬标准,基督徒不会「发明」自己「领袖的痛苦死亡」。[13]Meier说,许多其他标准,例如多重见证的标准(即,多于一个来源的确认)和一致性标准(即,它与其他历史元素相符)有助于建立耶稣被钉十字架是一个历史事件。[14]
虽然几乎所有与十字架相关的古代资料都是文献资料,但是1968年在耶路撒冷东北部的一次考古中发现了一具一世纪被钉十字架的尸体。这次发现很好地证实了在罗马时代存在着钉十字架刑罚,它与福音书描述的耶稣被钉十字架的细节大致相符。[15]被钉十字架的人被确认为Yehohanan ben Hagkol,可能死于公元70年左右,大约在猶太人大起義的时期。哈达萨(Hadassah)医学院的分析估计,他死于20多岁。另一个相关的考古发现(这次发现的物件也可追溯到公元1世纪左右)是耶路撒冷墓地一个不知名者的带着钉子的脚跟骨,现在由以色列古物管理局保管,并在以色列博物馆展出。[16]
虽然,人们有时在Yeshu和耶稣是否是同一个人的问题上有争议,但许多历史学家都同意,上述的2世纪段落可能是关于耶稣的。彼得·沙菲尔(Peter Schäfer)表示,毫无疑问,在塔木德中处决Yeshu的叙述指的是拿撒勒的耶稣。[62]Robert Van Voorst指出,可以肯定,在Sanhedrin 43a中指的是耶稣,这不仅可以从文献本身看出来,而且可以从它的背景看出来[63]
牛津大学的Colin Humphreys和W. G. Waddington认为可能发生的是月食而不是日食。[125]他们得出结论,这样的日食可从耶路撒冷看到,它持续30分钟左右,并认为福音提到日食是一个文士错误地修订文本的结果。历史学家Historian David Henige否定了这个解释,认为它是“站不住脚的”[126],天文学家布莱德利·谢弗(radley Schaefer)指出,月食在白天时是看不见的。[127][128]

Eucherius of Lyon. "Letter to the Presbyter Faustus"互联网档案馆的存檔,存档日期2008-06-13.. The three more frequented exit gates are one on the west, another on the east, and a third on the north. As you enter the city from the northern side, the first of the holy places due to the condition of the directions of the streets is to the church which is called the Martyrium, which was by Constantine with great reverence not long ago built up. Next, to the west one visits the connecting places Golgotha and the Anastasis; indeed the Anastasis is in the place of the resurrection, and Golgotha is in the middle between the Anastasis and the Martyrium, the place of the Lord's passion, in which still appears that rock which once endured the very cross on which the Lord was. These are however separated places outside of Mount Sion, where the failing rise of the place extended itself to the north.

"The Spirit saith to the heart of Moses, that he should make a type of the cross and of Him that was to suffer, that unless, saith He, they shall set their hope on Him, war shall be waged against them for ever. Moses therefore pileth arms one upon another in the midst of the encounter, and standing on higher ground than any he stretched out his hands, and so Israel was again victorious" (Epistle of Barnabas, 12:2-3).

"Wherefore he did not himself suffer death, but Simon, a certain man of Cyrene, being compelled, bore the cross in his stead; so that this latter being transfigured by him, that he might be thought to be Jesus, was crucified, through ignorance and error, while Jesus himself received the form of Simon, and, standing by, laughed at them. For since he was an incorporeal power, and the Nous (mind) of the unborn father, he transfigured himself as he pleased, and thus ascended to him who had sent him, deriding them, inasmuch as he could not be laid hold of, and was invisible to all" (Irenaeus,Against Heresies, book I, ch. 24, 4 (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆)
