The role of the executioner is often associated with the administration of justice, as prescribed by the laws given to the Israelites and observed in various narratives throughout the Bible.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, executioners are not always explicitly mentioned, but their presence is implied in the legal and narrative texts. The Mosaic Law, given to the Israelites, includes numerous offenses that are punishable by death, such as murder (<a href="/exodus/21-12.htm">Exodus 21:12</a>), adultery (<a href="/leviticus/20-10.htm">Leviticus 20:10</a>), and blasphemy (<a href="/leviticus/24-16.htm">Leviticus 24:16</a>). The execution of these laws would have necessitated individuals to carry out the sentences.<br><br>One of the earliest references to execution is found in <a href="/genesis/9-6.htm">Genesis 9:6</a>, where God establishes the principle of capital punishment: "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind." This establishes a divine mandate for the execution of justice through human agents.<br><br>In <a href="/2_samuel/1-15.htm">2 Samuel 1:15</a>, David commands one of his young men to execute the Amalekite who claimed to have killed Saul: "Then David summoned one of the young men and said, 'Go, execute him!' So he struck him down, and he died." This passage illustrates the role of an executioner acting under the authority of a king.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, executioners are more explicitly mentioned, particularly in the context of Roman rule. The Roman authorities employed executioners to carry out capital punishment, often by crucifixion, as seen in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The Roman soldiers who carried out the crucifixion can be considered executioners, as they were responsible for implementing the death sentence handed down by Pontius Pilate (<a href="/matthew/27-27.htm">Matthew 27:27-37</a>).<br><br>John the Baptist's execution is another example, where Herod Antipas orders his beheading. <a href="/mark/6-27.htm">Mark 6:27</a> states, "So without delay, the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head. He went, beheaded him in the prison." This passage highlights the role of executioners in fulfilling the decrees of rulers.<br><br><b>Symbolic and Theological Implications</b><br><br>Executioners in the Bible also serve as symbols of divine justice and judgment. The act of execution is often portrayed as a means of upholding God's holiness and righteousness. In the broader theological narrative, the execution of Jesus is seen as the ultimate act of injustice by human executioners, yet it fulfills God's redemptive plan for humanity.<br><br>The presence of executioners in the biblical text underscores the seriousness with which God views sin and the necessity of justice. It also reflects the human responsibility to uphold divine law, even as it points to the ultimate justice and mercy found in Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/6486.htm"><span class="l">6486. pequddah -- oversight, mustering, visitation, store</span></a><br><b>...</b> Definition oversight, mustering, visitation, store NASB Word Usage administrators<br> (1), affairs (1), appointed (1), care (1), class (1), <b>executioners</b> (1), fate <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/6486.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/emmerich/the_dolorous_passion_of_our_lord_jesus_christ/chapter_xxxviii_the_nailing_of.htm"><span class="l">The Nailing of Jesus to the Cross.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> to pay the archer anything they might demand if they would allow Jesus to drink<br> the wine which Veronica had prepared; but the cruel <b>executioners</b>, instead of <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../chapter xxxviii the nailing of.htm</font><p><a href="/library/emmerich/the_dolorous_passion_of_our_lord_jesus_christ/chapter_xxii_the_scourging_of.htm"><span class="l">The Scourging of Jesus.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> The pillar where criminals were scourged stood to the north of Pilate&#39;s palace,<br> near the guard-house, and the <b>executioners</b> soon arrived, carrying whips, rods <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../the dolorous passion of our lord jesus christ/chapter xxii the scourging of.htm</font><p><a href="/library/emmerich/the_dolorous_passion_of_our_lord_jesus_christ/chapter_xxxvi_jesus_on_mount.htm"><span class="l">Jesus on Mount Golgotha.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> The <b>executioners</b> then ordered the workmen and the boys who had carried the instruments<br> of the execution to depart, and the Pharisees soon arrived, for they <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../the dolorous passion of our lord jesus christ/chapter xxxvi jesus on mount.htm</font><p><a href="/library/emmerich/the_dolorous_passion_of_our_lord_jesus_christ/chapter_xl_crucifixion_of_the.htm"><span class="l">Crucifixion of the Thieves.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> When the <b>executioners</b> had finished putting up the cross of Jesus, they ordered the<br> thieves to rise without delay, and they loosened their fetters in order to <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../the dolorous passion of our lord jesus christ/chapter xl crucifixion of the.htm</font><p><a href="/library/unknown/the_acts_of_philip/addition_to_acts_of_philip.htm"><span class="l">Addition to Acts of Philip.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> And he turned in a rage to the <b>executioners</b> who followed him, and said:<br> Bring me these impostors.
