There is massive controversy surrounding Jesus' crucifixion. One such controversy is whether or not Jesus was pierced through the hands or the wrist. The answer is he was pierced through the hands and the wrist. If you will look at your hand palm side up, there is a place on the wrist that would be able to be pierced without breaking a bone. If I am not mistaken, the human wrist has 38 bones in it.
Now, if you will turn your hand over and look at the back of it, there is a place at the base of the hand, that is, above the wrist joint, that can be pierced through with a nail and not break a bone. If you take your thumb or finger and hold this place and then mark the spot on your wrist with your hand palm side up, then you will find that the two spots match. Thus, Jesus was pierced through both his hand and his wrist. Not that it matters much compared to what he was doing on the cross, which is paying the price (dying) of our sins.
