Matthew 27:33-44

The Crucifixion

33 1And when they came to a place called 2Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull,
34 3they gave Him 4wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He was unwilling * to drink.
35 And when they had crucified Him, 5they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots.
36 And sitting down, they began to 6keep watch over Him there.
37 And above His head they put up the charge against Him which read, "7THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
38 At that time two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left.
39 And those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, 8wagging their heads
40 and saying, "9You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! 10If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross."
41 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying,
42 "11He saved others; He cannot * save Himself. 12He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him.
43 "13HE TRUSTS IN GOD; LET GOD RESCUE Him now, IF HE DELIGHTS IN HIM; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.' "
44 14The robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.
