Matthew 27:33-44

The Crucifixion

33 ^aAnd when they came to a place called ^bGolgotha, which means Place of a Skull, 34 ^cthey gave Him ^dwine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink.

35 And when they had crucified Him, ^ethey divided up His garments among themselves by casting ^{▼▼ Lit a lot}lots. 36 And sitting down, they began to ^gkeep watch over Him there. 37 And above His head they put up the charge against Him ^{▼▼ Lit written}which read, ⁱ“THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

38 At that time two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left. 39 And those passing by were ^{▼▼ Or blaspheming}hurling abuse at Him, ^kwagging their heads 40 and saying, ^l“You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! ^mIf You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying, 42 ⁿ“He saved others; ^{▼▼ Or can He not save Himself?}He cannot save Himself. ^pHe is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43 ^q“He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He ^{▼▼ Or takes pleasure in; or cares for him} delights in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 ^sThe robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.
