they offered him a drink of wine mixed with gall, and when he tasted it he would not drink it. And they crucified him and divided up his clothes among them by drawing lots, and sat down there to keep watch of him. read more.
They put above his head the charge against him, which read, "This is Jesus, the king of the Jews." There were two robbers crucified with him at the time, one at his right and one at his left. And the passers-by jeered at him, shaking their heads and saying, "You who would tear down the sanctuary, and build one in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!" And the high priests, too, made sport of him with the scribes and elders, and said, "He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is King of Israel; let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. He trusts in God; let God deliver him if he cares for him, for he said he was God's son." Even the robbers who were crucified with him abused him in the same way. Now from noon there was darkness over the whole country until three o'clock. And about three, Jesus called out loudly, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me?" Some of the bystanders when they heard it said, "The man is calling for Elijah!" And one of them ran off at once and got a sponge and soaked it in sour wine and put it on the end of a stick and held it up to him to drink. But the others said, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to save him." But Jesus cried out again loudly, and gave up his spirit. And at once the curtain of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split, the tombs opened, and many of the saints who had fallen asleep rose and left their tombs and after his resurrection went into the holy city and showed themselves to many people.

The high priests too made sport of him to one another with the scribes and said, "He saved others, but he cannot save himself! Let this Christ, the king of Israel, come down from the cross now, so that we may see it and believe!" And the men who were crucified with him abused him. At noon darkness spread over the whole country, and lasted until three in the afternoon. And at three o'clock Jesus called out loudly, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Some of the bystanders, when they heard it, said, "See! He is calling for Elijah!" One man ran off and soaked a sponge in common wine, and put it on the end of a stick and held it up to him to drink, saying, "Let us see whether Elijah does come to take him down!" But Jesus gave a loud cry, and expired. And the curtain of the sanctuary was torn in two, from top to bottom.

Luke 23:27-49

He was followed by a great crowd of people and of women who were beating their breasts and lamenting him. But Jesus turned to them and said, "Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me but weep for yourselves and for your children, for a time is coming when they will say, 'Happy are the childless women, and those who have never borne or nursed children!' read more.
Then people will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us!' and to the hills, 'Cover us up!' For if this is what they do when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?" Two criminals were also led out to execution with him. When they reached the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, with the criminals one at his right and one at his left. And they divided up his clothes among them by drawing lots for them, while the people stood looking on. Even the leading councilors jeered at him, and said, "He has saved others, let him save himself, if he is really God's Christ, his Chosen One!" The soldiers also made sport of him, coming up and offering him sour wine, saying, "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself!" For there was a notice above his head, "This is the king of the Jews!" One of the criminals who were hanging there, abused him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us too!" But the other reproved him and said, "Have you no fear even of God when you are suffering the same penalty? And we are suffering it justly, for we are only getting our deserts, but this man has done nothing wrong." And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom!" And he said to him, "I tell you, you will be in Paradise with me today!" It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole country, and lasted until three in the afternoon, as the sun was in eclipse. And the curtain before the sanctuary was torn in two. Then Jesus gave a loud cry, and said, "Father, I intrust my spirit to your hands!" With these words he expired. When the captain saw what had happened he praised God, and said, "This man was really innocent!" And all the crowds that had collected for the sight, when they saw what happened, returned to the city beating their breasts. And all his acquaintances and the women who had come with him from Galilee, stood at a distance looking on.

John 19:16-30

Then Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus, and he went out carrying the cross by himself to a spot called the Place of the Skull, or in Hebrew, Golgotha. There they crucified him, with two others, one on each side and Jesus in the middle. read more.
Pilate had written a placard and had it put on the cross; it read "Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews." Many of the Jews read this placard, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. So the Jewish high priests said to Pilate, "Do not write 'The king of the Jews,' but write 'He said, I am the king of the Jews.' " Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written!" When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier, besides his shirt. Now his shirt had no seam; it was woven in one piece from top to bottom. So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but let us draw for it, to see who gets it." This was to fulfil what the Scripture says: "They divided my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots." This was what the soldiers did. Near Jesus' cross stood his mother and her sister Mary, the daughter of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. So Jesus, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near, said to his mother, "There is your son!" Then he said to his disciple, "There is your mother!" And from that time his disciple took her into his home. After that, Jesus, knowing that everything was now finished, to fulfil the saying of Scripture, said, "I am thirsty." A bowl of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge soaked in the wine on a pike and held it to his lips. When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, "It is finished!" Then bowing his head he gave up his spirit.

I have a request to make for them. I make no request for the world, but only for those whom you have given me, for they are yours??10 all that is mine is yours and what is yours is mine??nd they have done me honor. Now I am to be no longer in this world, but they are to remain in the world, while I return to you. Holy Father, keep them by your power which you gave me, so that they may be one just as we are. As long as I was with them I kept them by your power which you gave me, and I protected them, and not one of them was lost (except the one who was destined to be lost), so that what the Scripture says might come true. read more.
But now I am coming to you, and I say this here in this world in order that they may have the happiness that I feel fully realized in their own hearts. I have given them your message, and the world has come to hate them, for they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. I do not ask you to take them away from the world, but to keep them from evil. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them by truth. Your message is truth. Just as you sent me to the world, I have sent them to the world. And it is for their sake that I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated by truth. "It is not for them only that I make this request. It is also for those who through their message come to believe in me. Let them all be one. Just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am with you, let them be in union with us, so that the world may believe that you sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one just as we are, I in union with them and you with me, so that they may be perfectly unified, and the world may recognize that you sent me and that you love them just as you loved me. Father, I wish to have those whom you have given me with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me, for you loved me before the creation of the world.
