I just love how in age of ultron
Marvel established
that they have these pods
that can heal people of serious injuries
And are capable of building an entire body out of nothing pretty much aside from like a sentient Rock
and that this pod
which is destroyed at some point in this movie
is a lower level version of something that Dr Helen Cho has in her facility in wherever she said it was cause it's been a while since I've watched this movie
and then they

Jesus Brought before Pilate
1 When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus in order to bring about his death. 2 They bound him, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate the governor.
The Suicide of Judas
3 When Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. 4 He said, âI have sinned by betraying innocent blood.â But they said, âWhat is that to us? See to it yourself.â 5 Throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself. 6 But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, âIt is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are blood money.â 7 After conferring together, they used them to buy the potterâs field as a place to bury foreigners. 8 For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9 Then was fulfilled what had been spoken through the prophet Jeremiah, âAnd they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one on whom a price had been set, on whom some of the people of Israel had set a price, 10 and they gave them for the potterâs field, as the Lord commanded me.â
Pilate Questions Jesus
11 Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, âAre you the king of the Jews?â Jesus said, âYou say so.â 12 But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he did not answer. 13 Then Pilate said to him, âDo you not hear how many accusations they make against you?â 14 But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
Barabbas or Jesus?
15 Now at the festival the governor was accustomed to release a prisoner for the crowd, anyone whom they wanted. 16 At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Jesus Barabbas. 17 So after they had gathered, Pilate said to them, âWhom do you want me to release for you, Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Messiah?â 18 For he realized that it was out of jealousy that they had handed him over. 19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, âHave nothing to do with that innocent man, for today I have suffered a great deal because of a dream about him.â 20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed. 21 The governor again said to them, âWhich of the two do you want me to release for you?â And they said, âBarabbas.â 22 Pilate said to them, âThen what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?â All of them said, âLet him be crucified!â 23 Then he asked, âWhy, what evil has he done?â But they shouted all the more, âLet him be crucified!â
Pilate Hands Jesus Over to Be Crucified
24 So when Pilate saw that he could do nothing but rather that a riot was beginning, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, âI am innocent of this manâs blood; see to it yourselves.â 25 Then the people as a whole answered, âHis blood be on us and on our children!â 26 So he released Barabbas for them, and after flogging Jesus he handed him over to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governorâs headquarters, and they gathered the whole cohort around him. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 29 and after twisting some thorns into a crown they put it on his head. They put a reed in his right hand and knelt before him and mocked him, saying, âHail, King of the Jews!â 30 They spat on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. 31 After mocking him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
The Crucifixion of Jesus
32 As they went out, they came upon a man from Cyrene named Simon; they compelled this man to carry his cross. 33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), 34 they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. 35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots; 36 then they sat down there and kept watch over him. 37 Over his head they put the charge against him, which read, âThis is Jesus, the King of the Jews.â
38 Then two rebels were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. 39 Those who passed by derided him, shaking their heads 40 and saying, âYou who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.â 41 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking him, saying, 42 âHe saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. 43 He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he wants to, for he said, âI am Godâs Son.â â 44 The rebels who were crucified with him also taunted him in the same way.
The Death of Jesus
45 From noon on, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 46 And about three oâclock Jesus cried with a loud voice, âEli, Eli, lema sabachthani?â that is, âMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?â 47 When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, âThis man is calling for Elijah.â 48 At once one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink. 49 But the others said, âWait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.â 50 Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last. 51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. 53 After his resurrection they came out of the tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many. 54 Now when the centurion and those with him, who were keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were terrified and said, âTruly this man was Godâs Son!â
55 Many women were also there, looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him. 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
The Burial of Jesus
57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who also was himself a disciple of Jesus. 58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. 59 So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth 60 and laid it in his new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away. 61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
The Guard at the Tomb
62 The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate 63 and said, âSir, we remember what that impostor said while he was still alive, âAfter three days I will rise again.â 64 Therefore command the tomb to be made secure until the third day; otherwise, his disciples may go and steal him away and tell the people, âHe has been raised from the dead,â and the last deception would be worse than the first.â 65 Pilate said to them, âYou have a guard of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can.â 66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone. â Matthew 27 | New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition (NRSVUE) New Revised Standard Version, Updated Edition.

Researchers after many years of studying the Shroud of Turin (13th-14th century AD), a realistic representation of what Jesus Christ actually looked like, has been presented.
On left, depiction of Jesus in Orthodox iconography. On right, result of the study.
â
The Shroud of Turin, also known as the Holy Shroud, is a length of linen cloth that bears a faint image of the front and back of a man.
It has been venerated for centuries, especially by members of the Catholic Church, as the actual burial shroud used to wrap the body of Jesus of Nazareth after his crucifixion and upon which his bodily image is miraculously imprinted.
The human image on the shroud can be discerned more clearly in a black and white photographic negative than in its natural sepia color, an effect discovered in 1898 by Secondo Pia, who produced the first photographs of the shroud.
This negative image is associated with a popular Catholic devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus.
The shroud's authenticity as a holy relic has been disputed even within the Catholic Church and radiocarbon dating has shown it to be a medieval artifact.
Though accepted as valid by experts, the carbon-dating of the shroud continues to generate significant public debate.
The nature and history of the shroud have been the subjects of extensive and long-lasting controversies in both the scholarly literature and the popular press.
Currently, the Catholic Church neither endorses nor rejects the authenticity of the shroud as a relic of Jesus.

The Wednesday Word: Bruising Satanâs Head
Since the first word of the gospel is âCHRISTâ (see 1 Corinthians 15:3) it is of no surprise to discover that the first prophecy of the Bible was one concerning Him. We discover this prophecy in Genesis 3:15 where the Lord says, âAnd I will put enmity between thee (the Serpent) and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it (the seed of the woman) shall bruise thy (the serpentâs) head, andâŠ

okay but im&. genuinely of the belief that h.elaena's funeral was like an ophelia painting (mostly bc there were no dragons at the time to burn her body, they were all in the dragonpit at the time & the storming of the dragonpit happened the following night literally right after the smallfolk found out that h.elaena died)..... i genuinely have no idea who found & picked up her body & removed them from the spikes of maegor's holdfast but jesus christ that mustve been smth, but her throat was sewn together, her body was wrapped in her favorite dress with the starry print & flowers, taken out to the godswood & placed on a boat in the lake deep in the heart of the godswood where her closest friends & family had a small funeral & then burned the boat & her body with it via an arrow.
#ooc.#helaena targaryen. || headcanons.#rip to the person who found her body & managed to get it off the spikes because .............. jesus christ#its not a burial by dragonfire but its pretty close & its not like they had any time to go to the dragonpit anyway when everybody's rioting#/ murder#/ suicide#/ death#<< bc i personally am okay w/ either her death being a suicide or her actually being murdered but made to look like a suicide

A Rare Embroidered Deisis Depicting Jesus Christ was Found in Medieval Burial Ground
Russian archaeologists have uncovered a rare embroidered Deisis depicting Jesus Christ in a medieval burial ground.
46 graves have been dug up during excavations; one of them contained a woman who was buried with an embroidered Deisis depicting Jesus Christ and John the Baptist and was between the ages of 16 and 25.
The discovery was made during the construction of the Moscow-Kazan highway, where archaeologists found an 8.6-acre medieval settlement and an associated Christian cemetery.
The iconography of Jesus Christ known as Deesis, which can be translated from Greek as âprayerâ or âintercession,â is one of the most potent and prevalent images in Orthodox religious art.
The composition of the Deisis unites the three most important figures of Christianity. A tripartite icon of the Eastern Orthodox Church showing Christ usually enthroned between the Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist.
The fabric is 12.1 cm long by 5.5 cm wide and is composed of two parts joined by a vertical seam made of a woven gold ribbon with a braided pattern. The fabricâs lining did not survive, but a microscopic examination revealed birch bark remnants and needle punctures along the lower and upper edges.
In the center of the fabric is a frontal image of Jesus Christ making a blessing gesture, and to the right of him is John the Baptist praying. A second figure, probably Mary, was once on the left, but it has since disappeared, according to the inspection.
The archaeologists believe the embroidered fabric was once a dark silk samite headdress. Similar examples include the embroidered crosses and faces of saints discovered in the Karoshsky burial ground in the Yaroslavl region, as well as the Ivorovsky necropolis near Staritsa that features an image of Michael the Archangel wielding a spear.

Why is it that every week i see people complain about how much a wrestler with a dickish persona is definitely actually for real insulted that he "has to eat a pin" from someone hes litchrally friends with in real life. I am going to start forcing some people in the iwc to read the wiki article for kayfabe.
#putting the term burial up on a high shelf#and then carefully explaining how multi match storylines work#so many wrestlers have vlogs that arent in kayfabe#like the number of times ive watched shakycam footage of a wrestler giggling and clearly chill w another wrestler#and then scrolled down on my dash and seen someone assuming theres bad feelings about a match#my brothers in christ sometimes it is not that deep#tussling

The Mount of Olives, A Place of Death, Ascension and Everlasting Life
Standing at the overlook on the Mount of Olives, a breathtaking view spreads before me to include the Temple Mount and the city of Jerusalem. Once flourishing with olive trees, the site has become a holy place connected with events surrounding Jesusâ death and ascension into heaven. Tombs dating back to the First Temple period remain in the Kidron Valley outside of the city walls. The cemeteryâŠ

Christ Carried to the Tomb
Artist: Sisto Badalocchio (Italian, 1585 â c.â1619-1647)
Style: Baroque
Date: c. 1607
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Dulwich Picture Gallery, London, England
Christ Carried to the Tomb
This dramatically lit painting shows the burial of Christ following his crucifixion, a story described in the New Testament of the Bible, according to the Christian tradition. In a dramatic, diagonal movement which sweeps down through the painting, Christâs body is carried into the enveloping darkness of the tomb by Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea, a torch bearer and John the Evangelist (right to left). The weeping holy women, glimpsed outside beyond the mouth of the tomb, occupy a space deep within the painting. By contrast, John the Evangelist seems to step right out of the painting into the viewerâs space. The eye is drawn to Christâs limp hand in the centre of the painting, still bearing the wound made by the nail which fixed him to the cross. The mourning woman in the foreground, likely Mary Magdalene, meditates upon this hand, inviting the viewer to do the same in the empty space that has been left for them.

"Yeah Mr White I've got it figured out. I'm not completely stupid. *sigh* Hela is powerful because she's the Goddess of death, and she is tied to wherever the dead are buried. And so she gets her power from Asgard...because Asgard is like a breeding ground for coffin flies. Because of all the slaves in mass graves, bitch"
* grabs your shoulders and shakes you like a ragdoll* Jesse. JESSE . Listen to me. You are completely stupid! Because you're forgetting ONE! One very important thing. Do you seriously think all the dead in Asgard are buried under a castle????? NO! No. No. Hahaha. No. They were. But NOW they burn their dead ...at sea! They burn them at sea, Jesse! Why do you think they do that, huh? HUH?! Because Odin KNOWS burying them will make her more powerful!!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!??
#came to a profound realization while watching thor:ragnarok#because yeah the ancient catacombs dont make sense continuity-wise#with an actual asgardian funeral being shown in thor: the dark world. being burned at sea#it doesnt make sense UNLESS you consider the reason for why a culture would suddenly change burial practices#like in my book how the Liirs only started being buried in the outdoors 300 years ago#because slavery ended#when slavery was still happening the Liirs buried their dead in catacombs as a symbolic way of preserving their souls from captivity#but anyway. hela is the goddess of death and her getting power from Asgard-only doesnt make sense#so i think she gets her power from whenever the dead are buried#the more death there is. the more powerful she becomes#and asgard being a genocidal colonialist state built on the bones of slaves? jesus fucking christ#this actually explains odins sudden shift to pacifism#thor: ragnarok#man this movie couldve been so good#hela marvel#mcu hela#marvel#sorry for marvelposting :(#jaspers prattling

15 Now at the festival the governor was accustomed to release a prisoner for the crowd, anyone whom they wanted. 16 At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Jesus Barabbas. 17 So after they had gathered, Pilate said to them, âWhom do you want me to release for you, Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Messiah?â 18 For he realized that it was out of jealousy that they had handed him over. 19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, âHave nothing to do with that innocent man, for today I have suffered a great deal because of a dream about him.â 20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed. 21 The governor again said to them, âWhich of the two do you want me to release for you?â And they said, âBarabbas.â 22 Pilate said to them, âThen what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?â All of them said, âLet him be crucified!â 23 Then he asked, âWhy, what evil has he done?â But they shouted all the more, âLet him be crucified!â
Pilate Hands Jesus Over to Be Crucified
24 So when Pilate saw that he could do nothing but rather that a riot was beginning, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, âI am innocent of this manâs blood; see to it yourselves.â 25 Then the people as a whole answered, âHis blood be on us and on our children!â 26 So he released Barabbas for them, and after flogging Jesus he handed him over to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governorâs headquarters, and they gathered the whole cohort around him. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 29 and after twisting some thorns into a crown they put it on his head. They put a reed in his right hand and knelt before him and mocked him, saying, âHail, King of the Jews!â 30 They spat on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. 31 After mocking him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
The Crucifixion of Jesus
32 As they went out, they came upon a man from Cyrene named Simon; they compelled this man to carry his cross. 33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), 34 they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. 35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots; 36 then they sat down there and kept watch over him. 37 Over his head they put the charge against him, which read, âThis is Jesus, the King of the Jews.â
38 Then two rebels were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. 39 Those who passed by derided him, shaking their heads 40 and saying, âYou who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.â 41 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking him, saying, 42 âHe saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. 43 He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he wants to, for he said, âI am Godâs Son.â â 44 The rebels who were crucified with him also taunted him in the same way.
The Death of Jesus
45 From noon on, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 46 And about three oâclock Jesus cried with a loud voice, âEli, Eli, lema sabachthani?â that is, âMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?â 47 When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, âThis man is calling for Elijah.â 48 At once one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink. 49 But the others said, âWait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.â 50 Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last. 51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. 53 After his resurrection they came out of the tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many. 54 Now when the centurion and those with him, who were keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were terrified and said, âTruly this man was Godâs Son!â
55 Many women were also there, looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him. 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
The Burial of Jesus
57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who also was himself a disciple of Jesus. 58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. 59 So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth 60 and laid it in his new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away. 61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
The Guard at the Tomb
62 The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate 63 and said, âSir, we remember what that impostor said while he was still alive, âAfter three days I will rise again.â 64 Therefore command the tomb to be made secure until the third day; otherwise, his disciples may go and steal him away and tell the people, âHe has been raised from the dead,â and the last deception would be worse than the first.â 65 Pilate said to them, âYou have a guard of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can.â 66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone. â Matthew 27 | New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition (NRSVUE) New Revised Standard Version, Updated Edition.
