Paragraph 2. JESUS DIED CRUCIFIED
599
Jesus’ violent death was not the result of chance in an unfortunate coincidence
of circumstances, but is part of the mystery of God’s plan, as St. Peter
explains to the Jews of Jerusalem in his first sermon on Pentecost: “This
Jesus (was) delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of
God.”393 This Biblical language does not mean that those who
handed him over were merely passive players in a scenario written in advance by
God.394
