When they came to a place called Golgotha (which means "Skull Place"),

they offered him a drink of wine mixed with gall. But when he tasted it, he refused to drink it.

After they had crucified him, they determined who would get his clothes by throwing dice for them.

Then they sat down there and continued guarding him.

Above his head they placed the charge against him. It read, "This is Jesus, the king of the Jews."

In the same way the high priests, along with the scribes and elders, were also making fun of him. They kept saying,

When some of the people standing there heard this, they said, "He's calling for Elijah."

After his resurrection, they came out of their tombs, went into the Holy City, and appeared to many people.

When the centurion and those guarding Jesus with him saw the earthquake and the other things that were taking place, they were terrified and said, "This man certainly was the Son of God!"

Now many women were also there, watching from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus from Galilee and had ministered to him.

So they went and secured the tomb by putting a seal on the stone in the presence of the guards.

So they quickly left the tomb, terrified but also ecstatic, and ran to tell Jesus' disciples.

Suddenly, Jesus met them and said, "Greetings!" They went up to him, took hold of his feet, and worshipped him.

Then Jesus told them, "Stop being frightened! Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there."

So they met with the elders and agreed on a plan to give the soldiers a large amount of money.

They said, "Say that Jesus' disciples came at night and stole him while you were sleeping.

So the soldiers took the money, did as they were instructed, and this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.

When they saw him, they worshipped him, though some had doubts.
