The Crucifixion. ^22 (A)They brought him to the place of Golgotha (which is translated Place of the Skull). ²³ They gave him wine drugged with myrrh, but he did not take it. ^24 [a](B)Then they crucified him and divided his garments by casting lots for them to see what each should take. ²⁵ It was nine o’clock in the morning^[b] when they crucified him. ^26 [c]The inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.” ²⁷ With him they crucified two revolutionaries, one on his right and one on his left.^(C) [²⁸ ]^{[d] 29 [e]}Those passing by reviled him, shaking their heads and saying,^(D) “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, ³⁰ save yourself by coming down from the cross.” ³¹ Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes, mocked him among themselves and said, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. ³² Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also kept abusing him.^(E)

³² Now two others, both criminals, were led away with him to be executed.

The Crucifixion.^{(A) 33} When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him and the criminals there, one on his right, the other on his left.^{(B) 34} [Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.”]^[a] They divided his garments by casting lots.^{(C) 35} The people stood by and watched; the rulers, meanwhile, sneered at him and said,^(D) “He saved others, let him save himself if he is the chosen one, the Messiah of God.”^{(E) 36} Even the soldiers jeered at him. As they approached to offer him wine^{(F) 37} they called out, “If you are King of the Jews, save yourself.” ³⁸ Above him there was an inscription that read, “This is the King of the Jews.”

^17 (A)and carrying the cross himself^[a] he went out to what is called the Place of the Skull, in Hebrew, Golgotha. ¹⁸ There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. ^19 [b]Pilate also had an inscription written and put on the cross. It read, “Jesus the Nazorean, the King of the Jews.”

²³ But he said, “Why? What evil has he done?” They only shouted the louder, “Let him be crucified!” ^24 [a](A)When Pilate saw that he was not succeeding at all, but that a riot was breaking out instead, he took water and washed his hands in the sight of the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. Look to it yourselves.”
