WHere IN the BIBLE DoEs JeSuS Go To HeLl?????

Question

Where in the Bible does Jesus go down to hell? Please help me I need to know this for a clasS!

If you can, could you say what book it might be in or the verse? thank you!

Answer 1

The Scripture the evangelist was referring to is Acts 2:27, 31. In this chapter, the momentous event of the Holy Spirit coming on the converts in a stupendous way is described. This was a unique event in history that prompted the apostle Peter to speak with inspiration. From verse 22 to 36 Peter talks about Jesus Christ. Now let's quote verses 27 through 31 from the KJV:

"Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. Men [and] brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. " (Acts 2:27-31)
The word translated hell in the KJV is Strong's Concordance Number 86, from the original Greek hades (Greek: adhV), and means the place of departed souls, grave, hell. It does not mean of an ever-burning hell fire. How on earth could Jesus end up in such a place, being dead?! Almost all the Bible translations, other than the KJV, as well as the NKJV, translate (or rather repeat) the same Greek word hades, meaning, the grave. The two verses quoted plainly say that God the Father would not allow the body of the dead Christ to decompose, but did resurrect Him in the third day, before it would "see corruption".

Answer 2

Interesting question, Acts 2:31

The word translated here as 'hell' in many bibles is the greek word 'hades' but below is some info to help you see how they should be translated especially in the scripture speaking about Jesus.

Webster’s Dictionary says that the English word “hell” is equal to the Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Hades. In German Bibles Hoelle is the word used instead of “hell”; in Portuguese the word used is inferno, in Spanish infierno, and in French Enfer. The English translators of the Authorized Version, or King James Version, translated Sheol 31 times as “hell,” 31 times as “grave,” and 3 times as “pit.” The Catholic Douay Version translated Sheol 64 times as “hell.” In the Christian Greek Scriptures (commonly called the “New Testament”), the King James Version translated Hades as “hell” each of the 10 times it occurs.—Matthew 11:23; 16:18; Luke 10:15; 16:23; Acts 2:27, 31; Revelation 1:18; 6:8; 20:13, 14.

The question is: What kind of place is Sheol, or Hades? The fact that the King James Version translates the one Hebrew word Sheol three different ways shows that hell, grave and pit mean one and the same thing. And if hell means the common grave of mankind, it could not at the same time mean a place of fiery torture. Well, then, do Sheol and Hades mean the grave, or do they mean a place of torture?

The Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Hades mean the same thing. This is shown by looking at Psalm 16:10 in the Hebrew Scriptures and Acts 2:31 in the Christian Greek Scriptures. Notice that in quoting from Psalm 16:10 where Sheol occurs, Acts 2:31 uses Hades. Notice, too, that Jesus Christ was in Hades, or hell. Are we to believe that God tormented Christ in a hell of fire? Of course not! Jesus was simply in his grave.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

I know what you're talking about, but I don't think it's in the canonized Bible (meaning it's believed either because of tradition or a book that wasn't entered into the Bible as we know it).

The idea is that the wages of sin is death, but not really a physical death (which everyone will experience), but a spiritual death. With that belief, and the belief that Jesus took on the sins of the world for eternity, it has come to be believed that after dying on the cross, he went to Hell to truly pay the debt caused by man's sin, and when he came back to life, he had overcome both physical and spiritual death.

Answer 4

it is a marginally exciting question. Christians say that Jesus suffered on the pass for 2 reasons: a million. That he replaced into bearing the sins of the international. 2. That G-d became his face to him So if G-d had became his face to his in basic terms son till resurrection, then it may desire to very properly have been that he suffered in hell. He won't have suffered the way that a human could, yet consistent with hazard even seeing all those human beings in hell could reason him to go through. i do no longer think of that he could have suffered like one condemned there endlessly although. There are some Christians that beleive that he made the pit stop in hell to launch those trapped there that have been chosen to pass to heaven.

Answer 5

Read the book of Peter...it's in there...but be aware, Hell=grave Jesus preached to the spirits in prison..1 peter3:19

Answer 6

I'm sorry i do not remember where it is located in the bible, but i do know that somewhere in there unless it's because i've always been told..but anyways, somewhere in the bible it states that jesus was cast into the depths of hell.

Answer 7

Acts 2:31 "he saw beforehand and spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he forsaken in Ha´des nor did his flesh see corruption."

It shows there that Jesus was not "forsaken in Hades". He went there, but did not stay there. Hades, Sheol, etc simply refer to the common grave of mankind, and this is one verse that helps to prove it.

Answer 8

Matthew 27:45-56 "And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit."

John 19:28-36 "When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."

Answer 9

the Apostles' Creed: "And I believe in Jesus Christ who was crucified, dead, and buried;He descended into hell."
