Just a thought i've had that I wanted to share and get other's opinions on.

When Jesus was crucified, he would have been crucified alongside many other "criminals" etc who were penciled in for the same days punishment, much as in todays society a judge has a schedule in court for hearings and dealing out sentences; also in foreign countries where stonings still occur, there will be more than one stoning in an afternoon, people watch, get involved then move onto the next spectacle.

I was hinking that if Jesus was strung up on a cross, people would have jabbed at him with spears, spat on him, stabbed him, thrown stones etc. and when he no longer longer reacted, perhaps passed out from from the physical pain of his injuries, the onlookers and perpertrators would have got bored and moved onto the next crucifixion.

Then, during the night, as he was hung out to die, his supporters, or maybe just Mary Magdelene, came along, let him down, put him in a cloth and bandages to help heal the wounds and contain the bleeding, carried him to the infamous cave and he recovered.

Of course, if this was the case, he would have had to go into hiding to avoid future punishment, much the same as a criminal would today if he had escaped say from a prison.

And of course, no matter how well disguised (or not) you were, there would be sightings of the guy. However, in those days, the sightings would have spread like chinese whispers as opposed to a more modern way of putting out a note in a police computer system.

Does this sound derogatory (if so, my apologies) or does this raise an interesting thought?
