The Crucifixion

32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

32:

33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

33:

34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted [thereof], he would not drink.

34:

35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

35:

36 And sitting down they watched him there;

36:

37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

37:

38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

38:

39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

39:

40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest [it] in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

40:

41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking [him], with the scribes and elders, said,

41:

42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

42:

43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

43:

44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

44:
