Matthew 27:32-44 - Jesus Is Crucified
32 And as they were going out, they found a man of Gyrene, named Simon: this man they compelled to carry his cross. 33 And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, which, when translated, is the place of a skull, 34 they gave him vine gar to drink, mingled with gall; and when he had tasted it, he refused to drink. 35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among themselves, by casting the lot. 36 And they sat down and watched him there. 37 And they placed above his head the charge that was made against him, written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then were two robbers crucified with him; one on his right hand, and the other on his left. 39 And they that passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, 40 and saying: You that destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself; if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41 In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, derided him, and said: 42 He saved others; himself he can not save. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him. 43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he delights in him; for he said: I am the Son of God. 44 The robbers also that were crucified with him, uttered the same reproaches against him.
21 And they compelled one Simon, a Cyrenian, (the father of Alexander and Eufus,) who was passing by, coming in from the country, to bear his cross. 22 And they brought him to the place Golgotha, which is, when translated, the place of a skull. 23 And they gave him wine mingled with myrrh, to drink: but he did not receive it. 24 And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves, casting lots for them, what each one should take. 25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. 26 And the superscription containing his accusation was written above him: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, and the other on his left. 28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which says: And he was numbered with transgressors. 29 And those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, and saying: Aha! you that destroy the temple, and build it in three days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross. 31 Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes, speaking in derision one to another, said: He saved others; himself he can not save. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. Those also who were crucified with him, reproached him.
26 And as they led him away, they laid hold of Simon, a certain Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might carry it after Jesus. 27 And there followed him a great number of the people, and of women that bewailed and lamented him. 28 But Jesus turned, and said to them, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For, behold, the days are coming in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck. 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 31 For, if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
32 And two others, who were evil-doers, were led out to be put to death with him. 33 And when they came to the place called Skull, they there crucified him and the evil-doers; one on the right, and the other on the left. 34 And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And dividing his clothing into parts, they cast lots.
35 And the people stood and looked on. And the rulers, with them scoffed at him, saying: He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ, the chosen of God. 36 The soldiers also derided him, coming to him and offering him vinegar, 37 and saying: If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself.
38 And a superscription was also written over him in Greek and in Roman and in Hebrew letters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 And one of the evil-doers that were hanged reviled him, saying: If you are the Christ, save yourself and us.
40 But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Do you not fear God, since you are in the same condemnation? 41 And we justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong. 42 And he said to Jesus: remember me, Lord, when thou comest in thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said to him: Verily I say to you, to-day you shall be with me in paradise.
17 And, bearing his cross, he went forth into a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called, in Hebrew, Golgotha, 18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle. 19 And Pilate wrote a superscription, and put it on the cross; and the writing was, JESUS THE NAZABENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Therefore many of the Jews read this superscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. And it was written in Hebrew and in Greek and in Latin. 21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pi late: Write not, The king of the Jews; but, that he said, I am the king of the Jews.
22 Pilate answered: What I have writ ten, I have written.
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothing, and made four parts, to each soldier a part; and they took his coat also. Now his coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 24 Then they said, one to another, let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. This was done that the scripture might be fulfilled, which says: They divided my clothing among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. The soldiers, therefore, did these things.
25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 Then Jesus, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing by, said to his mother: Woman, behold your son. 27 Then he said to the disciple: Behold your mother. And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.
