The Crucifixion

Matthew 27

32 o p As they went out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. They compelled this man to o carry his cross. 33 q And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), 34 r they offered him wine to drink, mixed with s gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. 35 And when they had crucified him, t they divided his garments among them by casting lots. 36 Then they sat down and u kept watch over him there. 37 And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, "This is Jesus, v the King of the Jews." 38 Then two w robbers were crucified with him, x one on the right and one on the left. 39 And y those who passed by z derided him, a wagging their heads 40 and saying, b "You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! c If you are d the Son of God, come down from the cross." 41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 42 e "He saved others; f he cannot save himself. g He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43 h He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, 'I am the Son of God.'" 44 i And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.
