 Did Jesus Go down to hell after he died on the cross, before he rose on the 3rd day.  His body, as all four Gospels agree, was in Joseph’s new tomb; His soul, according to Acts 2: 27, 31 (with Psalm 16:10), was in Hell (Greek = Hades; Hebrew = Sheol), a place or rather state, the significance of which in the Scriptures is much wider than in our present-day usage of that word.
