It is a historical undisputed fact that there was a man named Jesus from Nazzereth who was called Christ by Christians. Here in the US and in other countries around the world Easter is celebrated and the historical record is retold over and over again of how Jesus went before the Roman governor, Pilate. Pilate demanded that Jesus defend himself against the accusers and when Jesus would not Pilate ordered that he be flogged and beaten. The historical record states that Pilate told the crowd that he found no fault in Jesus and that he should release him. But the crowd cried crucify him! Pilate then turned him over to be beaten some more and the guards took turns torturing Jesus, beating him about the head and placing a crown of thorns on his head and mocking him. Afterwards Jesus is lead to the cross where they would pierce his wrist and feet nailing him to a cross and raising him up in the air. The Romans perfected torturing to death people condemned to the cross. As the cross is lifted high and it slams into the hole shoulder joints are dislocated as the body lunges downward adding to the pain and suffering. Many times it would take days to die as the person went in and out of consciousness, waking up over and over again to their nightmare. If they wanted the person to die quicker they would break their legs causing total colapse and imminent suffocation. The historical record states that Jesus was already dead when they came to break his legs so they pierced his side instead just to make sure.

No historical scholar, whether a believer in Jesus or not, would argue that the historical record is not accurate. Jews and Muslims even agree to the accounts of Jesus' crucifiction.

The following is found in the book of Isaiah. It speaks of the promissed Messiah to come who is called the Servant of LORD....

Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for [that] which had not been told them shall they see; and [that] which they had not heard shall they consider.
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him.
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither [was any] deceit in his mouth.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore will I divide him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Now here is the clincher. It is an historical fact that Isaiah wrote this on behalf of God approximately 700 years before Jesus was ever born or was crucified just as Isaiah wrote. Fulfilled prophecy is what validates the entire bible as the very words of God.
