Matthew 27:27-50
-
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.
-
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
-
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.
-
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
-
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
-
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
-
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
-
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
-
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
-
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
-
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
