Matthew 27:32-44 - Jesus Is Crucified
32 And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. They forced this one to carry His cross. 33 And coming to a place called Golgotha, which is called, Place of a Skull, 34 they gave Him vinegar mixed with gall to drink. And when He had tasted, He would not drink. 35 And they crucified Him, dividing His garments, casting a lot; so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, "They parted My garments among them, and they cast a lot for My clothing." 36 And sitting down they guarded Him there. 37 And they put up over His head His accusation, written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then two thieves were crucified with Him, one off the right, one off the left. 39 And those who passed by blasphemed Him, shaking their heads, 40 and saying, You destroying the temple and building it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41 And in the same way also the chief priests mocked, with the scribes and elders, saying, 42 He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43 He trusted in God, let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him. (For He said, I am the Son of God.) 44 And also the thieves who were crucified with Him reviled Him, saying the same.
21 And they made one who was passing by, Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear His cross. 22 And they brought Him to Golgotha Place (which translated is, Place of a Skull). 23 And they gave Him wine mixed with myrrh to drink. But He did not take it. 24 And when they had crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots on them, as, to what each should take. 25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. 26 And the inscription of His accusation was written over Him, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 And with Him they crucified two thieves, the one off the right, and one off the left. 28 And the Scripture was fulfilled which said, "And he was numbered with the lawless." 29 And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, Aha! You razing the temple and building it in three days, 30 save yourself and come down from the cross! 31 And also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes, said to one another, He saved others but he cannot save himself. 32 Let Christ the King of Israel now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe. And they who were crucified with Him insulted Him.
26 And as they led Him away, they laid hold on one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country. And they laid the cross on him, that he might carry it after Jesus. 27 And a great multitude of people were following Him, and of women who also were bewailing and lamenting Him. 28 But turning to them, Jesus said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which did not suckle. 30 And they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! And to the hills, Cover us! 31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
32 And two others, two criminals, were led with Him to be put to death. 33 And when they came to the place which is called Calvary, they crucified Him and the criminals there, one on the right, and one on the left. 34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do. And parting His clothing, they cast lots.
35 And the people stood watching. And also the rulers with them, scoffing, saying, He saved others, let Him save Himself, if He is the Christ, the chosen of God. 36 And coming near, the soldiers also mocked Him, and offering Him sour wine, 37 and saying, If You are the king of the Jews, save Yourself.
38 And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 And one of the hanged criminals blasphemed Him, saying, If you are Christ, save Yourself and us.
40 But answering, the other rebuked him, saying, Do you not fear God, since you are in the same condemnation. 41 And we indeed justly so, for we receive the due reward of our deeds, but this Man has done nothing amiss. 42 And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.
43 And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you shall be with Me in Paradise.
17 And bearing His cross, He went out to a place called, The Place of a Skull (which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha) 18 where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the middle. 19 And Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. 21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, the king of the Jews, but that he said, I am king of the Jews.
22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
23 Then when they had crucified Jesus, the soldiers took His garments and made four parts, one part to each soldier; and also His tunic. And the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 24 Therefore they said among themselves, Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to find whose it shall be (that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says, "They parted my garments among them, and for my garment they cast lots"). Therefore the soldiers did these things.
25 And His mother stood by the cross of Jesus, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 Then when Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He 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 into his own home.
