24
And they crucified him, and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.
25
And it was the third hour, when they crucified him.
26
And the inscription of the charge against him read, "The King of the Jews."
27
And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.
29
And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days,
30
save yourself, and come down from the cross!"
31
So also the chief priests mocked him to one another with the scribes, saying, "He saved others; he cannot save himself.
32
Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.
33
And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "E'lo-i, E'lo-i, la'ma sabach-tha'ni?" which means, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
35
And some of the bystanders hearing it said, "Behold, he is calling Eli'jah."
36
And one ran and, filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Eli'jah will come to take him down."
37
And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed his last.
38
And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
39
And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that he thus breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"
40
There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salo'me,
41
who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered to him; and also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
42
And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
43
Joseph of Arimathe'a, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
44
And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead.
