Matthew 27:33-44

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

³³ And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), ³⁴ they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. ³⁵ And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots;^{[a] 36} then they sat down there and kept watch over him. ³⁷ Over his head they put the charge against him, which read, ‘This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.’

³⁸ Then two bandits were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. ³⁹ Those who passed by derided^[b] him, shaking their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, ‘You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If 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, saying, ⁴² ‘He saved others; he cannot save himself.^[c] He is the King of Israel; let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. ⁴³ He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he wants to; for he said, “I am God’s Son.”’ ⁴⁴ The bandits who were crucified with him also taunted him in the same way.
