The crucifixion of Jesus is one of the central events in Christian theology and history. According to the New Testament of the Bible, Jesus, who is considered the Son of God by Christians, was crucified by the Romans under the orders of Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, around the year 30–33 AD.

The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John provide various accounts of Jesus' crucifixion. According to these accounts, Jesus was betrayed by one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, and arrested by the religious authorities of the time, who accused him of blasphemy and challenging their authority. They brought him before Pilate, who found no guilt in him but, under pressure from the crowd, eventually agreed to have him crucified.

Jesus was then subjected to a brutal form of execution known as crucifixion, where he was nailed to a wooden cross and left to die. According to Christian belief, Jesus willingly underwent this suffering and death as an atoning sacrifice for humanity's sins, offering redemption and salvation to all who believe in him.

The crucifixion of Jesus is commemorated by Christians around the world, particularly during Holy Week, leading up to Easter Sunday, which celebrates Jesus' resurrection from the dead, three days after his crucifixion, according to Christian belief. This event is considered the cornerstone of the Christian faith and is central to Christian theology, symbolizing Jesus' victory over sin and death.
