Detailed explanation-1: -Longinus (/lɒnˈdʒaɪnəs/) is the name given to the unnamed Roman soldier who pierced the side of Jesus with a lance; who in medieval and some modern Christian traditions is described as a convert to Christianity. His name first appeared in the apocryphal Gospel of Nicodemus.
Detailed explanation-2: -This person was the Roman centurion. We find the story in Mark 15. The centurion set out following orders, fulfilling his job requirements, without the remotest idea that something amazing was about to happen.
Detailed explanation-3: -JST, Luke 23:35. Jesus asks forgiveness for the Roman soldiers who are crucifying Him. 35 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do (Meaning the soldiers who crucified him, ) and they parted his raiment and cast lots.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Roman historian and senator Tacitus referred to Jesus, his execution by Pontius Pilate, and the existence of early Christians in Rome in his final work, Annals (written ca. AD 116), book 15, chapter 44.
Detailed explanation-5: -There is no consensus among historians on the details. In the canonical gospels, Jesus is arrested and tried by the Sanhedrin, and then by Pontius Pilate, who sentences him to flagellation and then hands him over to soldiers for crucifixion.
