The Crucifixion

22 (A)Then they *brought Him to the place (B)Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23 And they tried to give Him (C)wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it. 24 And they *crucified Him, and *(D)divided up His garments among themselves, casting [a]lots for them to decide [b]what each man would take. 25 Now it was the [c](E)third hour [d]when they crucified Him. 26 The inscription of the charge against Him [e]read, “(F)THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

27 And they *crucified two [f]rebels with Him, one on His right and one on His left.[g] 29 Those passing by were [h]hurling abuse at Him, (G)shaking their heads and saying, “Ha! You who are going to (H)destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30 save Yourself by coming down from the cross!” 31 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, “(I)He saved others; [i]He cannot save Himself! 32 Let this Christ, (J)the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” (K)Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

The Crucifixion

33 (A)And when they came to the place called [a]The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. 34 [[b]But Jesus was saying, (B)Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”] (C)And they cast lots, dividing His garments among themselves. 35 And the people stood by, watching. And even the (D)rulers were sneering at Him, saying, “He saved others; (E)let Him save Himself if this is the [c]Christ of God, His Chosen One.” 36 The soldiers also ridiculed Him, coming up to Him, (F)offering Him sour wine, 37 and saying, “(G)If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!” 38 Now there was also an inscription above Him, “(H)THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

39 (I)One of the criminals who were hanged there was [d]hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the [e]Christ? (J)Save Yourself and us!” 40 But the other responded, and rebuking him, said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving [f]what we deserve for our crimes; but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” 43 And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in (K)Paradise.”

17 (A)They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, [a](B)carrying His own cross, to the place called (C)the Place of a Skull, which (D)in [b]Hebrew is called, Golgotha. 18 There they crucified Him, and with Him (E)two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between. 19 Now Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written: “(F)JESUS THE NAZARENE, (G)THE KING OF THE JEWS.” 20 Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written (H)in [c]Hebrew, Latin, and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘(I)The King of the Jews’; rather, write that He said, ‘I am (J)King of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, “(K)What I have written, I have written.”

23 Then (L)the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made (M)four parts: a part to each soldier, and the [d]tunic also; but the tunic was seamless, woven [e]in one piece. 24 So they said to one another, “(N)Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be.” (O)This happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “They (P)divided My garments among themselves, and they cast [f]lots for My clothing.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.
