Matthew 27:32-44 - Jesus Is Crucified
32 And as they were going along they met with a man of Cyrene, whose name was Simon; and forced him to carry the cross. 33 And when they were come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, 34 the place of a skull, they gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: but when He had tasted it, He would not drink. 35 And after they had fixed Him to the cross, they parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. 36 And they sat down and watched Him there: and put up over his head his accusation in writing, 37 THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 And there were two thieves crucified with Him: one on his right hand, and one on the left. 39 And they that passed by reviled Him, shaking their heads, 40 and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it again in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41 And in like manner the chief priests also insulting Him, with the scribes and elders, 42 said, He saved others, himself He cannot save: if He be the king of Israel, let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe Him: 43 He trusted in God, let Him deliver Him now, if He will own Him; for He said, I am the Son of God. 44 And one of the thieves also, that were crucified with Him, cast the same reproach upon Him.
21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was passing by, coming out of the country, to carry his cross: 22 and they brought Him to a place called Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, the place of a scull. 23 And they offered Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He would not take it. 24 And when they had fastened Him to the cross, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what each of them should take. 25 And it was the third hour, when they fixed Him on the cross: 26 and the title of his charge was written over Him, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 And they crucified two thieves with Him, one on his right hand and one on his left: 28 so that the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "And He was numbered with the transgressors." 29 And they that passed by reviled Him, shaking 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 And the chief priests likewise scoffing at Him among themselves, with the scribes, said, He saved others, Himself He cannot save: let Christ, 32 the king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe in Him. And even they that were crucified with Him, reviled Him.
26 And when they led Him away, they laid hold on one Simon a Cyrenean coming out of the country, and put the cross on him to bear it behind Jesus. 27 And there followed Him a great multitude of people, and of women, who also bewailed and lamented Him: but Jesus turning to them said, 28 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 shall say, happy are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts 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 to the green wood, what shall be done to the dry?
32 And there were also two other malefactors led with Him to be put to death. 33 And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him and the malefactors: 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 they parted his garments, and cast lots for them.
35 And the people stood looking on, and even 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 too insulted Him, coming to Him and offering Him vinegar, saying, 37 If thou art the king of the Jews, save thyself.
38 And there was a superscription written over Him in Greek, and Latin and Hebrew letters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 And one of the malefactors that were executed with Him reviled Him, saying, If thou be the Messiah, save thyself and us.
40 But the other answered and rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God neither, when thou thyself art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due rewards of our deeds, but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus answered him, I assure thee, thou shalt be with me this day in paradise.
17 And they took Jesus, and led Him away. And He went out, bearing his cross, into a place called the place of a scull, 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 title, and put it on the cross: and there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Many of the Jews therefore read this inscription; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. 21 And 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 And the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, (and made four parts, to each soldier a part,) and his coat. Now the coat had no seam in it, being woven from the top throughout: 24 they said therefore to one another, Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, "They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots." These things therefore the soldiers did.
25 Now there stood near 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 whom He loved standing by, saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son: 27 and then saith to the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the same disciple took her to his own home.
