Matthew 27:32-44 - Jesus Is Crucified
32 And going out, they found a Cyrenian by the name of Simon, whom they compelled to bear his cross. 33 And coming to a place called Golgotha, which is called A place of a cranium, 34 they gave him vinegar to drink mixed with gall; and when he had tasted of it he would not drink. 35 And having crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots, 36 and sat down and watched him there. 37 And they put over his head his accusation, written; THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 39 And those who went by blasphemed him, wagging 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 And the chief priests in like manner also mocked him, with the scribes and elders, and said, 42 He saved others, himself he cannot save. If he is the king of Israel let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe on him; 43 he trusted in God; let him deliver him if he wishes for him; for he said, I am a Son of God. 44 The robbers also that were crucified with him did the same, and reproached him.
21 and compelled one Simon, a Cyrenian, who was passing along, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. 22 And they brought him to Golgotha, which is interpreted A place of a cranium, 23 and gave him wine mingled with myrrh; but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him, and divided his clothes, casting lots for them which should take any thing. 25 And it was the third hour when they crucified him, 26 and the inscription of his accusation was written, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 And they crucified with him two robbers, one on his right hand and the other on his left. 28 (Added verse not retained in Sawyer) 29 And those who passed by reviled him, wagging 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 In like manner also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes, said one to another, He saved others; himself he cannot save; 32 let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And those crucified with him reproached him.
26 AND when they led him away, they took Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the country, and put on him the cross to bear after Jesus. 27 And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women; and they bewailed and lamented him. 28 And turning to them, Jesus said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 29 For behold, days come in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and those who have not borne children, and the breasts which have not nursed them! 30 Then shall they say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us; 31 for if they do these things with the green tree, what shall be done with the dry?
32 And two other criminals were led out to be put to death with him. 33 And when they arrived at the place called Cranium, there they crucified him, and the criminals; one on his right hand, and the other on his left. 34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And distributing his garments they cast lots [for them].
35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also scoffed, saying, He saved others; if this is the Christ, the elect of God, let him save himself. 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, and came and presented him vinegar, 37 and said, If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.
38 And there was an inscription over him; THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 And one of the criminals crucified, reviled him, [saying], Are you not the Christ? save yourself and us.
40 But the other answered and rebuked him, and said, Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence? 41 and we indeed justly, for we receive the desert of our doings; but this man has done nothing amiss. 42 And he said, Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingdom.
43 And he said to him, I tell you truly, to-day you shall be with me in paradise.
17 THEN they took Jesus, and putting the cross on him he went out to what is called the place of a cranium, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha, 18 where they crucified him, and two others with him, one on one side and the other on the other, and Jesus between. 19 And Pilate wrote an inscription and put on the cross. And it was written, JESUS THE NAZORAEAN, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Many of the Jews therefore read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. 21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, 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 the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took his clothes and made four parts, a part to each soldier, and his coat. But his coat was without seam, woven from the top through the whole. 24 They said, therefore, one to another, Let us not divide this, but cast lots for it whose it shall be; that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did indeed these things.
25 And there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene. 26 Then Jesus seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, said to his mother, Woman, behold your son. 27 Then he said to the disciple, Behold your mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own [house].
