Crucifixion was the standard enforcement for capital punishment in those times.

Jesus was crucified and not hanged like Saddam because during that time in history they did not hang people using ropes. Crucifixion was the death of choice the Roman used, as well as the Greeks before them. Alexander the Great crucified 2000 people on crosses when the city of Tyre was destroyed.

Because that is the way things were done in that time.
And the people of that time didnt think "in about 2000 year's time from now, a guy called Saddam will be hanged, lets do that to this Jesus person aswell", did they?

Because in that time, crucifixions were the preferred method of death. They were incredibly popular, Jesus was one of MANY crucified. Incidentally, had he not been crucified and lived a normal life, there would probably be no Christianity today. Good job Romans...

Yes, I agree with the majority of answers, the Romans were crucifying thousands and thousands of Jews. Jesus happened to be another Jewish victim of the Roman's crucifixion's murdering method.

Saddam killed people all Jesus tried to do was save them. Jesus was crucified because it was in God's plan because Jesus died so we can live eternally.

Because that was before YouTube.
These days, Judas would want 30% of the movie rights.

' The Bible says cursed is everyone that is hung on a tree. In order to take everyone's sin upon Himself He must hang on a tree or wood having come from a tree. Gal 3:13 "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written,cursed is everyone that hanged on a tree." Deut. 21:23 Also speaks of this law. "His body shall not remain upon the tree,but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; ( for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled,which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

coz you suffer more as nails cut through your flesh; also, i think because it was the tradition of the romans to crucify.
