The Crucifixion

Mark 15

21 And they forced a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was coming in from the field (country), to carry His cross. 22 And they led Him to Golgotha [in Latin: Calvary], meaning The Place of a Skull. 23 And they [attempted to] give Him wine mingled with myrrh, but He would not take it. 24 And they crucified Him; and they divided His garments and distributed them among themselves, throwing lots for them to decide who should take what. 25 And it was the third hour (about nine o'clock in the morning) when they crucified Him. 26 And the inscription of the accusation against Him was written above, The King of the Jews. 27 And with Him they crucified two robbers, one on [His] right hand and one on His left. 28 1 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, He was counted among the transgressors. 29 And those who passed by kept reviling Him and reproaching Him abusively in harsh and insolent language, wagging their heads and saying, Aha! You Who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 Now rescue 2 Yourself [ 3 from death], coming down from the cross! 31 So also the chief priests, with the scribes, made sport of Him to one another, saying, He rescued others [ 4 from death]; Himself He is unable to rescue. 32 Let the Christ (the Messiah), the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see [it] and trust in and rely on Him and adhere to Him! Those who were crucified with Him also reviled and reproached Him [speaking abusively, harshly, and insolently].
