Slide 21 - Diapositive

Jesus and his enemies
Jesus gains popularity quickly but not everyone supports him. A lot of Jewish leaders are afraid that Jesus will take their place.
And the Romans are afraid he wants political power. 
Because of that, Jesus is arrested and crucified

Slide 22 - Diapositive

Een kruisiging
The crucifixion
Een kleine misdadiger werd vastgemaakt met touw, maar Jezus met spijkers door zijn handen en voeten
Het probleem met een kruisiging is dat je moet kiezen tussen 2 opties:
- Je laat jezelf hangen, maar kan niet ademen
- Je trekt jezelf omhoog om te ademen, maar zet heel veel druk op je handen en voeten (pijn!)
Om Jezus belachelijk te maken zetten ze een bordje boven het kruis. Er stond "Jezus, de koning van de joden". Ook kreeg hij een kroon van doornen.
Voordat de spijkers erin werden geslagen werd Jezus wijn met kruiden aangeboden als verdoving. Deze sloeg hij af.
Jezus werd expres op een schuin stukje hout gezet zodat hij nooit echt kon steunen, maar altijd weggleed.

Persecution
Being a christian is dangerous in the Roman Empire!Christen Like the jews, the christians do not believe in the emperor. 
For this reason, the Roman emperors persecute the christians.

Onder sommige Romeinse steden bevonden zich catacomben waarin christenen (maar ook Joden) hun doden begroeven.
Veel van deze catacomben zijn mooi versierd met christelijke muurschilderingen.
De catacomben werden soms ook gebruikt voor kerkdiensten, omdat het boven de grond te gevaarlijk was om openlijk voor je geloof uit te komen.
