³⁶ The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and ^(A)offering him sour wine ³⁷ and saying, ^(B)“If you are ^(C)the King of the Jews, save yourself!” ^38 (D)There was also an inscription over him,^[a] “This is ^(E)the King of the Jews.”

^39 (F)One of the criminals who were hanged ^(G)railed at him,^[b] saying, “Are you not ^(H)the Christ? Save yourself and us!” ⁴⁰ But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? ⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” ⁴² And he said, “Jesus, remember me ^(I)when you come into your kingdom.” ⁴³ And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in ^(J)paradise.”

The Death of Jesus

^44 (K)It was now about the sixth hour,^[c] and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,^{[d] 45} while the sun's light failed. And ^(L)the curtain of the temple was torn in two. ⁴⁶ Then Jesus, ^(M)calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, ^(N)into your hands I ^(O)commit my spirit!” And having said this ^(P)he breathed his last. ⁴⁷ Now ^(Q)when the centurion saw what had taken place, ^(R)he praised God, saying, “Certainly this man was innocent!” ⁴⁸ And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home ^(S)beating their breasts. ⁴⁹ And all ^(T)his acquaintances and ^(U)the women who had followed him from Galilee ^(V)stood at a distance watching these things.

Jesus Is Buried

^50 (W)Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, ⁵¹ who had not consented to their decision and action; and he ^(X)was looking for the kingdom of God. ⁵² This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁵³ Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and ^(Y)laid him in a tomb cut in stone, ^(Z)where no one had ever yet been laid.
