Feb 8, 2024 · Jesus' Descent to Hell in the Bible. The most cited Bible passage for the account of Jesus descending to hell before His resurrection is 1 Peter 3:18-20. “For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, in order that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; in which ...
Apr 11, 2022 · As Jesus neared death, He said, “ It is finished ” (John 19:30). His suffering in our place was completed. His soul/spirit went to hades (the place of the dead).

Apr 14, 2017 · John 19:30. In addition, the cry of Jesus, “It is finished” (John 19:30) strongly suggests that Christ’s suffering was finished at that moment and so was his alienation from the Father because of bearing our sin.

Jan 1, 2001 · Where did Christ go after he died and before He rose from the dead? Some use Ephesians 4:7-10 to teach that Jesus went to hell or to Hades to release the prisoners held there and take them to heaven or into God’s presence.
