22
1And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull).
23
And they offered him wine mixed with
2myrrh, but he did not take it.
24
And they crucified him and
3divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.
25
And
4it was the third hour when they crucified him.
26
And the inscription of the charge against him read,
5"The King of the Jews."
27
And with him they crucified two
6robbers,
7one on his right and one on his left.
29
And
8those who passed by derided him,
9wagging their heads and saying,
10"Aha!
11You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,
30
save yourself, and come down from the cross!"
31
So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying,
12"He saved others;
13he cannot save himself.
32
Let
14the Christ,
15the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may
16see and believe."
17Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.
The Death of Jesus
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
18cried with a loud voice,
19"Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means,
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
35
And some of the bystanders hearing it said, "Behold, he is calling Elijah."
36
And someone ran and filled a sponge with
20sour wine, put it on a reed
21and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down."
37
And Jesus
22uttered a loud cry and
23breathed his last.
38
And
24the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
