ESV 21 And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. NIV 21 A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. ESV 22 And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull). NIV 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). ESV 23 And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. NIV 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. ESV 24 And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. NIV 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get. ESV 25 And it was the third hour when they crucified him. NIV 25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. ESV 26 And the inscription of the charge against him read, "The King of the Jews." NIV 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS. ESV 27 And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left. NIV 27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. ESV 29 And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, "Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, NIV 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, ESV 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!" NIV 30 come down from the cross and save yourself !” ESV 31 So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, "He saved others; he cannot save himself. NIV 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! ESV 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. NIV 32 Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
