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 up His garments among themselves. 35 And the people stood by, looking on. And even the (E)rulers were scoffing at Him, saying, “He saved others; (F)let Him save Himself if this is the [c]Christ of God, His Chosen One.” 36 And the soldiers also mocked 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.”
