Question

Talmudic interpretations of this event feature a “cabbage stalk” because a spell was put on all the other trees. The word “tawaffa” leads Quranic scholars to debate the outcome of this event, which did not actually take place according to the Second Treatise of the Great Seth. Prior to this event a herald cried out for forty days condemning its central participant, according to the Talmud. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad defended the “swoon hypothesis” regarding this event and argued that its central participant later traveled to India. The central participant (-5[1])of this event (-5[1])entrusted the care of his mother to a “beloved disciple” before crying out “My God, My God, (10[1])Why (10[1])have you (10[1])forsaken me?” For 10 points, (10[1])some Gnostics believe Simon of Cyrene was the true victim of what event after which Jesus (10[1])rose on Easter? ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: death of Jesus [or crucifixion of Jesus; accept execution or murder of Jesus; accept hanging of Jesus; reject “resurrection of Jesus”; prompt on execution or murder or hanging or crucifixion by asking “of whom?”]
