Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into Hell

The Romans were good at three things above all else: making laws, building roads, and killing people.

Modern law is still based on Roman codes. All over Europe are roads the Romans built that are still in use. And when a Roman soldier told you somebody was dead, you could pretty much count on it.

So let's not have any nonsense about how Jesus just fainted and the soldiers thought he was dead. I've seen people who have fainted, and I'm fairly certain that a spear thrust into his side, piercing his heart, would have at least woken him up.

So he suffered under Pontius Pillate, the Roman governor at the time (helping to establish his historicity) and was crucified, died, and was buried.

The only part that gives some people trouble is the thing about the Savior descending to Hell. If it makes you feel better, call it Sheol, the Land of the Dead, or whatever floats your boat.
