This "historical description" is a hoax, a fraud--a pious fraud, perhaps, but a fraud nonetheless. Just google "Publius Lentulus" and you will find many results that explain why.

Thank you for the information. I've got it from a book, so I referred it here.

But I doubt, are you saying it as a fraud because of the Is 53:2 "FOR HE SHALL GROW UP BEFORE HIM AS A TENDER PLANT, AND AS A ROOT OUT OF A DRY GROUND; HE HATH NO FORM NOR COMELINESS; AND WHEN WE SHALL SEE HIM, THERE IS NO BEAUTY THAT WE SHOULD DESIRE HIM". If so, I afraid you're mistaken. Because these details Isaiah prophesied about the time He was going for the crucifiction. Read verse 5 "BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM; AND WITH HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED". Who can say He is beauty on that day? Yes. To give us beauty he became unbeauty. To give us peace He became peaceless. To give us life He carried cross and received death.
