Matthew 27:32-44 - Jesus Is Crucified
32 And coming out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. 33 And coming to a place called Golgotha, that is, the place of a skull, They gave him vinegar mingled with gall to drink, 34 and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. 35 And they crucified him and parted his garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots. 36 And sitting down, they guarded him there, And set up over his head his accusation written, 37 THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right-hand and one on the left. 39 And they that were passing by reviled him, wagging their heads and saying, 40 Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son God, come down from the cross. 41 In like manner the chief priests also with the scribes and elders mocking him said, He saved others; Cannot he save himself? 42 If he be the king of Israel, 43 let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 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 even the robbers that were crucified with him, cast the same reproach upon him.
21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who was passing by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. 22 And they bring him to the place, Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, the place of a skull. 23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh; but he received it not. 24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. 25 And it was the third hour, when they crucified him. And there was an inscription of his written over, 26 THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 And with him they crucify two thieves, one on his right-hand, and one on his left. 28 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. 29 And they that passed by, reviled him, wagging their heads and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, 30 and buildest it in three days, Save thyself, and come down from the cross. 31 In like manner also the chief priests mocking said one to another, with the scribes, He saved others; cannot he save himself? 32 Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. They also that were crucified with him reviled him.
26 And as they led him away, they laid hold on one Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. 27 And there followed him a great company of people and of women, who also bewailed and lamented him. 28 But Jesus turning to them, said, 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, Happy are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps that never gave suck. 30 Then shall they 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 there were also led two other men, malefactors, to be put to death with him. 33 And when they were come to the place, called the place of a scull, there they crucified him, and the two malefactors, one on the right-hand, and one on the left. 34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment and cast lots.
35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others: let him save himself, if he be the Christ, the chosen of God. 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, 37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
38 And a superscription also was written over him in Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew letters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 And one of the malefactors, who were hanging on the cross, reviled him, saying, If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.
40 But the other answering, rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this person hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me, when thou comest in thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said to him, Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
17 And they took Jesus and led him away. And he bearing his cross, went forth to the place, called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha: 18 Where they crucified him, and two others with him, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst. 19 And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross: and the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Many of the Jews read this inscription; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. 21 Then said the chief priests to Pilate, Write not, the king of the Jews; but that he said, I am the king of the Jews.
22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
23 And the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also his vesture: now the vesture was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 24 They said therefore one to another, Let us not rent it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and cast lots for my vesture. These things therefore the soldiers did.
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 Jesus therefore seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son. 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
