Jesus Was Pierced Through The Hands During Crucifixion
Pick any painting of the crucifixion and you're likely to see Jesus with two nails driven through his palms. These wounds, which are part of the stigmata, have become a central part of Christian iconography. But they aren't specifically referenced in the Bible.
If someone was pierced through the hands, it would only take about 88 pounds of weight for the nails to eventually tear through the hands, causing the person to fall from the cross. This method would have left him lying on the ground, not hanging from the cross.
