Paragraph 2. JESUS DIED CRUCIFIED

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

595
Among
the religious authorities of Jerusalem, not only were the Pharisee Nicodemus
and the prominent Joseph of Arimathea both secret disciples of Jesus, but there
was also long-standing dissension about him, so much so that St. John says of
these authorities on the very eve of Christ’s Passion, “many.. . believed
in him”, though very imperfectly.³⁷⁸ This is not surprising, if
one recalls that on the day after Pentecost “a great many of the priests
were obedient to the faith” and “some believers. . . belonged to the
party of the Pharisees”, to the point that St. James could tell St. Paul,
“How many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed;
and they are all zealous for the Law.”³⁷⁹
