The Cat of Nine Tails.
When Jesus was whipped with the
cat of nine tails he would have lost a lot of blood and the struggle to carry
the cross to Calvary would virtually have drained him of blood. So when the
soldier drove the spear inward between the 5th and 6th
rib it went through the pleura and the thin part of the lung and stopped in the
pericardium. The right auricle of the human heart holds liquid blood after
death and the outer sac holds a serum called hydropericardium.
When the soldier withdrew the spear, blood and water were seen to emerge and
run down the body of Jesus.
