Matthew 27:34-46
34 athey gave Him bwine mixed with ▼▼Prob. referring to the taste of myrrh, added to lessen pain
bile to drink; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink it. 35 And when they had crucified Him, dthey divided His garments among themselves by casting ▼▼Lit a lot
lots. 36And sitting down, they began to fkeep watch over Him there. 37And above His head they put up the charge against Him ▼▼Lit written
which read, “ hTHIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.” 38 At that time two ▼▼Or robbers
rebels *were being crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left. 39And those passing by were ▼▼Or blaspheming
speaking abusively to Him, kshaking their heads, 40and saying, “ lYou 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.” 41In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying, 42“ nHe 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 qHe has trusted in God; let God rescue Him now, if He ▼▼Or desires;
takes pleasure in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 sAnd the ▼▼Or robbers
rebels who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him in the same way. 45 uNow from the ▼▼I.e., noon
sixth hour darkness ▼▼Lit occurred
fell upon all the land until the ▼▼I.e., 3 p.m.
ninth hour. 46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “ yEli, Eli, lema sabaktanei?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
