Thematic Bible



And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth.

This was what the men of the army did.

And the men of the army took him away into the square in front of the building which is the Praetorium, and they got together all the band.

And they gave him blows on the head with a stick and put shame on him and, going down on their knees, gave him worship.

And they made one, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was going by, coming from the country, go with them, so that he might take his cross. And they took him to the place named Golgotha, which is, Dead Man's Head. And they gave him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it. And he was nailed to the cross; and they made a division of his clothing among them, putting to the decision of chance what everyone was to take.
