Matthew 27:30-40

30 Then they spit at Him, took the reed, and kept hitting Him on the head.

31 When they had mocked Him, they stripped Him of the robe, put His clothes on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.

Crucified Between Two Criminals

32 As they were going out, they found a Cyrenian man named Simon. They forced this man to carry His cross.

33 When they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Skull Place),

34 they gave Him wine^[a] mixed with gall^[b] to drink. But when He tasted it, He would not drink it.

35 After crucifying Him they divided His clothes by casting lots.^{[c] [d]}

36 Then they sat down and were guarding Him there.

37 Above His head they put up the charge against Him in writing: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS

38 Then two criminals^[e] were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left.

39 Those who passed by were yelling insults at^[f] Him, shaking their heads

40 and saying, "The One who would demolish the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"
