Jesus Is Crucified
25 It was nine o'clock in the morning and they crucified Him. [Note: John 19:14 indicates that the crucifixion took place about noon. This can be harmonized if we take Mark's account to mean when the entire process began]. 26 The inscription, stating the charge against Him, was attached above His head [i.e., to the upright portion of the cross]. It read, "The king of the Jews." 27 And they also crucified two thieves with Him, one at His right side and one at His left. {{Some ancient manuscripts add verse
