Nnipa pii ani so no, Kristosom ahyɛnsode kɛse paa ne krɔɔs. Nanso ade a Yesu wuu wɔ so no, Bible anhyɛ da ankyerɛ sɛnea na ɛte, enti obiara ntumi nsi no pi. Mmom yɛkɔ Bible mu a, yebehu sɛ Yesu wuu wɔ dua so, na ɛnyɛ krɔɔs so.

Sɛ Bible reka ade a Yesu wuu wɔ so a, ɛtaa de Greek kasa mu asɛmfua stau·rosʹ na ɛyɛ adwuma. (Mateo 27:40; Yohane 19:17) Wɔn a wɔkyerɛ kasa ase no, wɔtaa kyerɛ asɛmfua no ase “krɔɔs.” Nanso animdefo bebree gye tom sɛ asɛmfua no abɔse paa ne “dua baako a yɛde asi hɔ tenten.” a Nhoma bi kyerɛ sɛ yɛka stau·rosʹ a, “obiara mfa nsusuw dua bi a foforo bea mu da.”—A Critical Lexicon and Concordance to the English and Greek New Testament.
