33 (A)And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), 34 (B)they offered him wine to drink, mixed with (C)gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. 35 And when they had crucified him, (D)they divided his garments among them by casting lots. 36 Then they sat down and (E)kept watch over him there. 37 And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, (F)the King of the Jews.” 38 Then two (G)robbers were crucified with him, (H)one on the right and one on the left. 39 And (I)those who passed by (J)derided him, (K)wagging their heads 40 and saying, (L)“You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! (M)If you are (N)the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 42 (O)“He saved others; (P)he cannot save himself. (Q)He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43 (R)He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 (S)And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

33 They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”).(A) 34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall;(B) but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. 35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.(C) 36 And sitting down, they kept watch(D) over him there. 37 Above his head they placed the written charge against him: this is jesus, the king of the jews.

38 Two rebels were crucified with him,(E) one on his right and one on his left. 39 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(F) 40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(G) save yourself!(H) Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”(I) 41 In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. 42 “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel!(J) Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe(K) in him. 43 He trusts in God. Let God rescue him(L) now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 In the same way the rebels who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

17 and (A)he went out, (B)bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. 18 (C)There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. 19 Pilate (D)also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” 20 Many of the Jews read this inscription, for (E)the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, (F)“What I have written I have written.”

23 (G)When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic.[a] But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, 24 so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” (H)This was to fulfill the Scripture which says,

(I)“They divided my garments among them,
    and for my clothing they cast lots.”

So the soldiers did these things, 25 (J)but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and (K)the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, (L)“Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to (M)his own home.

  1. John 19:23 Greek chiton, a long garment worn under the cloak next to the skin

17 Carrying his own cross,(A) he went out to the place of the Skull(B) (which in Aramaic(C) is called Golgotha). 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others(D)—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.

19 Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth,(E) the king of the jews.(F) 20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city,(G) and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.”(H)

22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

24 “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.”

This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled(I) that said,

“They divided my clothes among them
    and cast lots for my garment.”[a](J)

So this is what the soldiers did.

25 Near the cross(K) of Jesus stood his mother,(L) his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.(M) 26 When Jesus saw his mother(N) there, and the disciple whom he loved(O) standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,[b] here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.

27 And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were (A)mourning and lamenting for him. 28 But turning to them Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For behold, (B)the days are coming when they will say, (C)‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ 30 (D)Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ 31 For (E)if they do these things when (F)the wood is green, what will happen (G)when it is dry?”

32 (H)Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. 33 (I)And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, (J)one on his right and one on his left. 34 And Jesus said, “Father, (K)forgive them, (L)for they know not what they do.”[a] And they cast lots (M)to divide his garments. 35 And (N)the people stood by, watching, (O)but (P)the rulers (Q)scoffed at him, saying, (R)“He saved others; (S)let him save himself, (T)if he is (U)the Christ of God, (V)his Chosen One!” 36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and (W)offering him sour wine 37 and saying, (X)“If you are (Y)the King of the Jews, save yourself!” 38 (Z)There was also an inscription over him,[b] “This is (AA)the King of the Jews.”

27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed(A) for him. 28 Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.(B) 29 For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’(C) 30 Then

“‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!”
    and to the hills, “Cover us!”’[a](D)

31 For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”(E)

32 Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed.(F) 33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father,(G) forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”[b](H) And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.(I)

35 The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him.(J) They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”(K)

36 The soldiers also came up and mocked him.(L) They offered him wine vinegar(M) 37 and said, “If you are the king of the Jews,(N) save yourself.”

38 There was a written notice above him, which read: this is the king of the jews.(O)
