Scriptures such as <a href="/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a> and <a href="/psalms/22.htm">Psalm 22</a> detail the suffering and death of the Messiah, which Jesus fulfilled through His crucifixion. The phrase underscores the divine plan and foreknowledge of God, as the events of Jesus' life and death were not random but preordained. This fulfillment of prophecy serves as a testament to the reliability and divine inspiration of Scripture.they took Him down from the tree The "tree" refers to the cross, a Roman instrument of execution. In Jewish law, being hung on a tree was associated with being cursed by God (<a href="/deuteronomy/21-22.htm">Deuteronomy 21:22-23</a>). This connection highlights the theological significance of Jesus bearing the curse of sin on behalf of humanity. The act of taking Jesus down from the cross was performed by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, as recorded in the Gospels, showing the care and respect given to Jesus' body despite His execution as a criminal.and laid Him in a tomb Jesus was laid in a new tomb, which belonged to Joseph of Arimathea, fulfilling the prophecy in <a href="/isaiah/53-9.htm">Isaiah 53:9</a> that the Messiah would be with the rich in His death. The burial in a tomb rather than a common grave for criminals signifies the honor and dignity afforded to Jesus even in death. The tomb's location, near the site of crucifixion, is consistent with archaeological findings of first-century Jewish burial practices. This burial set the stage for the resurrection, a cornerstone of Christian faith, affirming Jesus' victory over death and His divine nature.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> Central figure of the New Testament, whose life, death, and resurrection are the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. 2. <a href="/topical/j/jewish_leaders.htm">Jewish Leaders</a> Those who orchestrated the crucifixion of Jesus, fulfilling the prophecies written about Him. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_tree.htm">The Tree (Cross)</a> Refers to the crucifixion of Jesus, a method of execution that was both a Roman practice and a fulfillment of the curse mentioned in <a href="/deuteronomy/21-23.htm">Deuteronomy 21:23</a>. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_tomb.htm">The Tomb</a> The place where Jesus was laid after His crucifixion, signifying His death and the beginning of the events leading to His resurrection. 5. <a href="/topical/p/prophecies.htm">Prophecies</a> Old Testament scriptures that foretold the suffering, death, and burial of the Messiah, which were fulfilled in Jesus.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/f/fulfillment_of_prophecy.htm">Fulfillment of Prophecy</a> Jesus' death and burial were not random events but the fulfillment of specific prophecies, demonstrating God's sovereign plan. <a href="/topical/t/the_significance_of_the_cross.htm">The Significance of the Cross</a> The cross, a symbol of shame and curse, becomes the means of salvation, highlighting the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. <a href="/topical/t/the_reality_of_jesus'_death.htm">The Reality of Jesus' Death</a> Jesus' burial confirms His actual death, which is essential for the truth of the resurrection and the hope it brings to believers. <a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_in_redemption.htm">God's Sovereignty in Redemption</a> The events of Jesus' death and burial show God's control over history and His commitment to redeem humanity through Christ. <a href="/topical/h/hope_in_the_resurrection.htm">Hope in the Resurrection</a> The burial sets the stage for the resurrection, offering believers hope in life after death and victory over sin.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_acts_13.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Acts 13</a> <a href="/q/insights_on_day_27's_spiritual_growth.htm">What is the significance of Jesus' suffering and sacrifice?</a> <a href="/q/what_defines_cross_theology.htm">What defines Cross Theology?</a> <a href="/q/why_does_romans_13_stress_obeying_rulers.htm">Why does Paul in Romans 13 emphasize obedience to secular powers when other New Testament texts (e.g., Acts 5:29) suggest obeying God rather than human authorities?</a> <a href="/q/obey_government_or_god_(rom_13_vs._acts_5).htm">Should Christians obey the government?

St. Paul, also, had studied in the same school of prophetic interpretation as the writers of the Gospels, and saw as they did, in all the details of the Crucifixion, the fulfilment of that which had been written beforehand, it might be, of other sufferers, but which was to find its highest fulfilment in the Christ.They took him down from the tree.--In the brief summary which St. Paul gives, it was apparently deemed unnecessary to state the fact that our Lord was taken down from the cross and laid in the sepulchre by those who were secretly disciples, like Joseph and Nicodemus. It was enough that they too were among the rulers of the Jews, and that they, in what they did, were acting without any expectation of the Resurrection.
