Main article: Crucifixion of Jesus
Biblical accounts
Ahmadis also illustrate the notion of Jesus having survived the Cross through various Biblical scriptures. [ 12 ]
1. Jesus had prophesied that his fate would be like that of Jonah (the story of Jonah is one of survival). (Matt. 12:40)
2. Jesus was placed on the cross for only a few hours. Death by crucifixion usually takes several days. While he was on the cross his legs were left intact, and not broken as was the normal procedure. This would have prevented death by respiratorydistress. As blood and water were reportedto have ' gushed ' from the spear wound, this was sign of a beating heart.
3. Jesus prayed to be rescued from death on the cross (Matthew 21:22)
4. Pilate, having sympathy for Jesus, secretly devised to save him by setting his Crucifixion shortly before Sabbath day
5. The Gospel of John records that Nicodemusbrought myrrh and aloes (John 19:39). These healing plants, particularly aloe plants, are considered medicinal and applied to wounds.
6. After he had awoken from his swoon (resurrection), Jesus bared his wounds to Thomas (John 20:25-7), showing he did not have a supernatural, resurrected body, but a patient's body. He was also seen in the flesh by a large number of his followers, baring the same wounds that hehad suffered from his ordeal on the Cross.(Luke 24:38,39)
7. After his wounds had sufficiently healed Jesus left the tomb and met some of his disciples and had his food with them and walked on foot from Jerusalem to Galilee (Luke 24:50)
8. Jesus had prophesied that he would go to seek out the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel (John 10:16). The Jews of Jesus's time believed that the Lost tribes of Israel had become dispersed in different lands (John 7:34-35)
9. Being a Divine Prophet Jesus could not have died on the Cross because according to the Bible “He that is hanged is accursed of God” (Deut. 21:23)
10. When Joseph requested Jesus' body from the cross(mark 15:43), Pilate asked a centurion if Jesus was already dead(mark 15:44). The centurion confirmed that Jesus was already dead (15:45). This centurion was a believer that Jesus was the son of God (Mark 15:39).
11. There are no accounts in the gospel of Jesus ascending into the heavens, aside from accounts that were absent from the earliest written gospels. (source: biblical footnotes)
After surviving crucifixion, Jesus fled to Galilee. Jesus (along with several disciples) later left Palestine to further preach the Gospel to the Lost tribes of Israel (John 10:16) - that had scattered as far as Afghanistan and northern India. He eventually settled in Kashmir where he was given the name Yuz Asaf (meaning “Leader of the Healed”/"Son of Joseph").
