I am fairly confident that the following indicates he died...
It is finished <---after he said this he bowed his head and gave up the ghost............

He was placed in a tomb. Those tend to be reserved for dead people.
And he was resurrected. Kind of impossible if you're not dead.

Yeah, He said "it is finished" bowed his head and died.

Mark 15:44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died.
John 19:33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
Acts 2:24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
Yes... Jesus died on the cross. Actually, physically, dead.

John 19
31 The Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with Him;
33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
36 For these things came to pass to fulfill the Scripture, “NOT A BONE OF HIM SHALL BE BROKEN.”
37 And again another Scripture says, “THEY SHALL LOOK ON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED.”
Revelation 1
17 When I saw Jesus, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last,
18 and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades".

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” John 10:11-18

Christianity rises and falls on Messiah alone.... If He is not the sinless Lamb of G-d that died on the Cross and rose on the third day and is coming back Christianity is a hokes! You have to ask about all three because if He just died but never rose or is not coming back.... He is just a man that has decayed in a grave like everyone else.
To answer the question. Yes! Why would you think He did not die? But is that the heart of your question?
It's not real silly; I remember in Bible College we had to be able to answer this question because of false doctrines. So we learnt about all the spices the "women" rubbed Him with to prepare Him for burial. That alone would Have killed Him. Even secular teaching tells us about death on a cross. I think a better question would be did Jesus dismiss His Spirt and die as reordered to hasten death o the Cross.... That is just me and I'm being an ….. to reword the question.... But I think that would be fun.... But I do respect the post as is and think it is ligament….
Yes it is an odd question to be asking Christians.. But yes Jesus died on the cross..
Christ did not hasten His death on the cross since He paid the full penalty for the sins of the whole world. But He controlled the time of His death since He is the God-Man. Therefore He dismissed His spirit at the precise time that God had planned.
He dismissed His Spirit? No, not really. He was a man, flesh, just for everyone, even for me. He lived and was cricified as a man so that no flesh might fault Him forr being the true Jedge.
He did have the Father dwelling in Him. He was raised by the Father, and after He was raised He was being florified for 40 days until He ascended. He is God, and He is the Father, and He is teh Holy Spirit, ask Isaiah, but while He was alking His erth, He weas a man.
He is the first born of the resurrection, yet He is the resurrection. Do not attmpt to even hint that you , I or anyone can explain how the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are yet One, for this mystery is privileged information until the ingdom.

Yep. It was on the cross He died.
Get some odd questions here what do you think the answer is? Look in the Bible.
We can help you with your homework but you actually got to do some study yourself. I mean this is a really easy question to answer he didnt die anywhere else! Theres even the shroud of turin showing his bloodstains.
Most of his life people tried to kill Jesus bit they didnt suceed. King Herod wanted him dead, even as a baby, he beheaded his cousin john the baptist. Pharisees wished to stone him. But it was the romans who crucified Jesus because he got charged in their court on false accusations and that was their method of execution. The romans were in charge of the judicial system at the time. However many people consented in his desth and it was Judas who betrayed him. jesus knew this and he knew how he was going to die.

He overcame death on the Cross in dying for us all………...He is Resurrection, and the Firstborn of It.
Hi @LeeLoving, Journeyman makes an important point here about Jesus' death when he reminds us of the Lord's dual nature. He was 100% Divine and 100% human as well, since the Incarnation. Was your opening question concerned with this distinction, IOW, with how it might be that God could actually "die"?
Thanks!
