34
they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall; and when he had tasted
of it, 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 raiment 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 there were 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 wouldst destroy the temple and build
it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the
cross {Gr. stauros – stake}.
41
Likewise also the princes of the priests mocking
him, with the scribes and elders, said,
42
He saved others; he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the
cross {Gr. stauros – stake}, 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, who were crucified with him, reproached him
with the same.
