The four gospels and Acts of the Apostles mention the death of Jesus. However, Matthew, Luke/Acts and John are all dependent on Mark's Gospel, so do not provide independent records of what really happened.
Paul mentioned the crucifixion in his epistles, but some scholars say that Paul seems to have been talking about a spiritual crucifixion, so we can not really say for certain that the crucifixion he mentioned was the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth, under the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.
There is an implied reference in Hebrews, where Jesus "endured the cross", but the Book of Hebrews only wrote of Jesus as the high priest in heaven, so again may have referred to a purely spiritual crucifixion.
The authors of the other New Testament books did not mention the death of Jesus, and seem to have been unaware of the actual circumstances of his death. But for the author of Mark's Gospel, we would not really know about the crucifixion under Pontius Pilate.
John of Patmos also mentions "...our Lord was crucified" in Revelation 11:8.

Was the bible handwritten by Jesus?
The Bible comes in two sections the Old Testament And the New Testament, The Old testament is the book that governs the Jewish religion and Jesus was an authority on this and was referred to as Rabi by many that came to hear him and learn from him. The New testament Is the second part of the bible and this is the book that reefers to the works and the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Jews who were the compositors of the first testament do not recognise the second testament as they do not recognise Christ. However Jesus Christ did not write any part of the New testament as a mater of fact most of it was written long after the death of Jesus. No, it was written by a number of people, Jesus' disciple's. God overall wrote the book because God told them what to write. But God did not HANDWRITE it. God is not Jesus, it is his son. Jesus did not wright the bible, it was his disciple's, kings, and translators that wrote the bible.
Did the Old Testament contain the teachings of and the written records of the life of Jesus?
No, the Jewish Cannon of their scriptures (commonly referred to as the "Old Testament") had closed roughly 400 years before Jesus (the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name Jeshua, which is used in the Old Testament to refer to the follower of Moses that brought the Jews into Canaan) was born. The followers of Jesus recorded stories of his teachings, life, death, resurrection, and ascension in the books that were ultimately collected into the New Testament. Most Jews reject Jesus as a Messiah (transliterate into Greek as Christ) and the New Testament. The Catholic Church closed the Christian Cannon of the New Testament about 400 years after Jesus died.

Was Jesus killed on Christmas or Easter?
There is conflicting evidence in the New Testament with regard to the death of Jesus. The synoptic Gospels imply that it was after the Passover, while the Gospel of John says he was crucified just prior to the Passover and gave up his spirit approximately at the time the Passover was to be slaughtered. Therefore we can conclude that while the Gospels may disagree on an exact time for Jesus' death, it is reasonably discernible that the purpose of the Gospel writers was to emphasize the significance of Passover observance. For it is their mention of the feast where they ultimately find common ground. ----

Was Zechariah the first to prophesy Jesus' death?
A:Some say that they can see in Zechariah 12:10-11 a possible prophecy of the death of Jesus. However, this would be a strange prophecy as it talks of the mourning for the god Hadadrimmon, considered to be a manifestation of Baal and scarcely a likeness of Jesus.A more objective and dispassionate reading of the Old Testament finds no mention of the death of Jesus. It is therefore a matter of faith and belief whether you see in Zechariah any prophecy of the death of Jesus, and also whether you see any earlier prophecy of Jesus' death.
