23:50 This verse gives us a clue to the mystery of the disappearance of Jesus after the event of the Cross. According to the Gospels, Jesus was affixed to the cross merely with ropes and not with nails, and hung there only for a few hours. In this short period he could not have died. This verse indicates that having been delivered from the clutches of his enemies he was given refuge at some place described as Rabwah رَبْوَةٍ. Rabwah رَبْوَةٍ means a land worth living; lofty plateau; land abounding in green and fruitful valleys and with springs of running water.
