Mark 15:23-33

23 They tried to give Him ¹wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it.

24 And they crucified Him, and ²divided up His garments among themselves, casting lots for them to decide what each man should take.

25 It was the ³third hour when they crucified Him.

26 The inscription of the charge against Him read, "⁴THE KING OF THE JEWS."

27 They crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left.

28 [And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with transgressors."]

29 Those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, ⁵wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who are going to ⁶destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,

30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!"

31 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, "⁷He saved others; He cannot * save Himself.

32 "Let this Christ, ⁸the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!" ⁹Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

33 ¹⁰When the ¹¹sixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the ¹²ninth hour.
