32
a Now as they came out, b they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross.
33
c And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull,
34
d they gave Him 1 sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.
35
e Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, 2 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet:
f "They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots." 3
36
g Sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.
37
And they h put up over His head the accusation written against Him:
THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38
i Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.
39
And j those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads
40
and saying, k "You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! l If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross."
41
Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the 4 scribes and elders, said,
42
"He m saved others; Himself He cannot save. 5 If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe 6 Him.
43
n "He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.' "
44
o Even the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.
