Mark 15:21-32

Jesus Is Crucified

21 And they forced a certain man who was passing by, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), who was coming from the country, to carry his cross.
22 And they brought him to the place Golgotha (which is translated "Place of a Skull").
23 And they attempted to give him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.
24 And they crucified him and divided his clothes among themselves [by] casting lots for them [to see] who should take what.
25 Now it was the third hour when they crucified him.
26 And the inscription of the charge against him was written, "The king of the Jews."
27 And with him they crucified two robbers, one on [his] right and one on [his] left.
29 And those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads and saying, "Aha! The one who would destroy the temple and rebuild [it] in three days,
30 save yourself [by] coming down from the cross!"
31 In the same way also the chief priests, along with the scribes, were mocking [him] to one another, saying, "He saved others; he is not able to save himself!
32 Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe! Even those who were crucified with him were reviling him.
