He was truly persecuted under Pontius Pilate; He was truly crucified, and [truly] died, in the sight of beings in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth. He was also truly raised from the dead, His Father quickening Him, even as after the same manner His Father will so raise up us who believe in Him by Christ Jesus, apart from whom we do not possess the true life.\nStop your ears, therefore, when any one speaks to you at variance with 788 Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was descended from David, and was also of Mary; who was truly begotten of God and of the Virgin, but not after the same manner. For indeed God and man are not the same. He truly assumed a body; for \u201cthe Word was made flesh,\u201d 789 and lived upon earth without sin. For says He, \u201cWhich of you convicteth me of sin?\u201d 790 He did in reality both eat and drink. He was crucified and died under Pontius Pilate. He really, and not merely in appearance, was crucified, and died, in the sight of beings in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth. By those in heaven I mean such as are possessed of incorporeal natures; by those on earth, the Jews and Romans, and such persons as were present at that time when the Lord was crucified; and by those under the earth, the multitude that arose along with the Lord. For says the Scripture, \u201cMany bodies of the saints that slept arose,\u201d 791 their graves being opened. He descended, indeed, into Hades alone, but He arose accompanied by a multitude; and rent asunder that means 792 of separation which had existed from the beginning of the world, and cast down its partition-wall. He also rose again in three days, the Father raising Him up; and after spending forty days with the apostles, He was received up to the Father, and \u201csat down at His right hand, expecting till His enemies are placed under His feet.\u201d 793 On the day of the preparation, then, at the third hour, He received the sentence from Pilate, the Father permitting that to happen; at the sixth hour He was crucified; at the ninth hour He gave up the ghost; and before sunset He was buried. 794 During the Sabbath He continued under the earth in the tomb in which Joseph of Arimath\u00e6a had laid Him. At the dawning of the Lord\u2019s day He arose from the dead, according to what was spoken by Himself, \u201cAs Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale\u2019s belly, so shall the Son of man also be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.\u201d 795 The day of the preparation, then, comprises the passion; the Sabbath embraces the burial; the Lord\u2019s Day contains the resurrection.\nLiterally, \u201chedge,\u201d or \u201cfence.\u201d\n70:793\nHeb. 10:12, 13.\n70:794\nSome read, \u201cHe was taken down from the cross, and laid in a new tomb.\u201d\n70:795","title":"Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol I: IGNATIUS: Chapter IX.\u2014Reference to the history...","type":"page"}
