If the Romans wanted to kill someone, they would have. I think that in Jesus’ case crucifixion was to teach him a lesson, not to kill him. He wasn’t dead, just comatose, when he was “laid in the tomb”.
Reminds me of the 1993 Bulwer-Lytton grand prize winner:
She wasn’t really my type, a hard-looking but untalented reporter from the local cat box liner, but the first second that the third-rate representative of the fourth estate cracked open a new fifth of old Scotch, my sixth sense said seventh heaven was as close as an eighth note from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, so, nervous as a tenth grader drowning in eleventh-hour cramming for a physics exam, I swept her into my longing arms, and, humming “The Twelfth of Never,” I got lucky on Friday the thirteenth. — Wm.
