Why did Christ Jesus suffer the fearful death on the cross? (93:5)

Why did Muhammad bear persecutions? (93:6)

Why did the Bab make the supreme sacrifice and why did Baha'u'llah pass the years of his life in prison? (93:7)

Why should all this suffering have been, if not to prove the everlasting life of the spirit? (93:8)
