And they who passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it up in three days, save thyself, if thou art the Son of God, and come down from the cross. So also the chief priests, mocking, with the scribes and elders, said, He saved others, cannot he save himself? He is the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him. He trusteth in God; let him now deliver him, if he desireth him; for he said, I am the Son of God. The robbers also, who were crucified with him, reviled him in the same manner. And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Some of those standing there, when they heard this, said, This man is calling for Elijah. And one of them immediately ran and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink.

And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it up in three days, save thyself, and come down from the cross. In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes, making sport among themselves, said, He saved others, cannot he save himself? Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him were reviling him. And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani? which is, when interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, See! he is calling for Elijah. And one ran and filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, Hold! Let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down. And Jesus, having uttered a loud cry, expired. And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.

There was also an inscription over him: "This is the king of the Jews." And one of the crucified malefactors railed at him, saying, Art thou not the Christ? save thyself and us. But the other answering said, rebuking him, Dost not thou fear God, since thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom. And he said to him, Truly do I say to thee, Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise. And it was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, the sun having failed; and the veil of the temple was rent in two. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit! And having said this, he expired.

where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. That the scripture might be fulfilled: "They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots." These things the soldiers did. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother and his mothers sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary the Magdalene. Jesus therefore, when he saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by, saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then he saith to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now finished, in order that the Scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. A vessel was brought full of vinegar; and putting a sponge filled with vinegar upon a stalk of hyssop, they raised it to his mouth. When therefore he had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished! and he bowed his head, and yielded up his spirit.
