³⁸ At that time two ^[a]rebels *were being crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left.

^32 (A)Now two others, who were criminals, were also being led away to be put to death with Him.

The Crucifixion

^33 (B)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, “^(C)Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”] ^(D)And they cast lots, dividing His garments among themselves. ³⁵ And the people stood by, watching. And even the ^(E)rulers were sneering at Him, saying, “He saved others; ^(F)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, ^(G)offering Him sour wine, ³⁷ and saying, “^(H)If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!” ³⁸ Now there was also an inscription above Him, “^(I)THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

^39 (J)One of the criminals who were hanged there was ^[d]hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the ^[e]Christ? ^(K)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 ^(L)Paradise.”

^44 (M)It was now about ^[g](N)the sixth hour, and darkness came over the entire land until ^[h]the ninth hour, ^45 [i]because the sun stopped shining; and ^(O)the veil of the temple was torn ^[j]in two. ⁴⁶ And Jesus, ^(P)crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, ^(Q)into Your hands I entrust My spirit.” And having said this, He ^[k]died. ^47 (R)Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began ^(S)praising God, saying, “This man was in fact ^[l]innocent.” ⁴⁸ And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, after watching what had happened, began to return home, ^[m](T)beating their chests. ^49 (U)And all His acquaintances and ^(V)the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, seeing these things.

Jesus Is Buried

^50 (W)And a man named Joseph, who was a ^(X)member of the Council, a good and righteous man ⁵¹ (he had not consented to their plan and action), a man from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was ^(Y)waiting for the kingdom of God— ⁵² this man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁵³ And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever lain. ⁵⁴ It was a ^[n](Z)preparation day, and a Sabbath was about to ^[o]begin. ⁵⁵ Now ^(AA)the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was laid.
