Matthew 27:32-44 - Jesus Is Crucified
32 And, coming out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they impressed to bear the cross. 33 And, having come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say "Place of a skull," 34 they gave Him to drink wine mingled with gall; and, having tasted it, He would not drink. 35 And, having crucified Him, they divided His garments among them, casting lots; 36 and, sitting down, they watched Him there. 37 And they put over His head His accusation, "THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
38 Then are there crucified with Him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left. 39 And those passing by were reviling Him, wagging their heads, 40 and saying, "Thou Who destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save Thyself: if Thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross." 41 Likewise also the high priests, mocking, with the scribes and elders, were saying, 42 "Others He saved, Himself He cannot save! King of Israel is He! let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on Him! 43 He has trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now, if He desireth Him; because He said, 'I am God's Son.'" 44 And the robbers, who were crucified with Him, were reproaching Him with the same thing.
21 And they impress one Simon, a Cyrenian, who was passing by, coming from 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 were offering Him wine mingled with myrrh: but He did not take it. 24 And they crucify Him, and divide His garments, casting lots upon them, what each should take. 25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. 26 And the inscription of His accusation was written above Him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS."
27 And with Him they crucify two robbers; one on His right hand, and one on His left. 28 OMITTED TEXT. 29 And those passing by railed on Him, wagging their beads, and saying, "Aha! Thou Who destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days! 30 save Thyself, coming down from the cross!" 31 In like manner the high priests, mocking Him among themselves with the scribes, said, "He saved others; Himself He cannot save! 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel now come down from the cross, that we may see, and believe!" And those who were crucified with Him were reproaching Him.
26 And, when they led Him away, laying hold of one Simon a Cyrenian, coming from the country, they laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus. 27 And there was following Him a great multitude of people, and of women, who bewailed and lamented Him 28 But, turning towards them, Jesus 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 the barren, and the wombs which bore not, and breasts that gave not suck.' 30 Then will 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 there were being led two others also, malefactors, with Him to be put to death. 33 And, when they came to the place that is called "The Skull," there they crucified Him, and the malefactors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 34 And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do!" And, dividing His garments among them, they cast lots.
35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also were scoffing at Him, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself! if This is the Christ of God, the Chosen!" 36 And the soldiers also were mocking Him, coming near, and offering Him vinegar, 37 and saying, "If Thou art the King of the Jews, save Thyself!"
38 And there was also an inscription over Him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS, THIS!"
39 And one of the suspended malefactors kept reviling Him, saying, "Art not Thou the Christ? Save Thyself and us!"
40 But the other, answering and rebuking him, said, "Do you not fear God, seeing that you are in the same condemnation? 41 and we, indeed, righteously; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds: but This Man did nothing amiss." 42 And he said, "Jesus, remember me, when Thou comest in Thy Kingdom."
43 And He said to him, "Verily I say to you, "To-day you shall be with Me in Paradise."
17 They took Jesus, therefore; and, bearing the cross for Himself, He went forth into the place called "Place of a Skull," which, in Hebrew, is called "Golgotha;" 18 where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst. 19 And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, "JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
20 This title, therefore, many of the Jews read; because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek. 21 The high priests of the Jews, therefore, 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 The soldiers, therefore, when they crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part; and also the coat. And the coat was without a seam, woven from the top throughout. 24 They said, therefore, one to another, "Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, 'They divided My garments among themselves, and upon My vesture did they cast lots.'" The soldiers, therefore, did these things.
25 But there were standing by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 Jesus, therefore, seeing His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, saith to His mother, "Woman, behold your Son!" 27 Then saith He to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.
