Matthew 27:26-40
-
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
-
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
-
28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
-
29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
-
30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
-
31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
-
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
-
33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
-
34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
-
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.
-
36 And sitting down they watched him there;
-
37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
-
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
-
39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
-
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.
