Mark 15:21-32
Legacy Standard Bible
21 (A)And they *pressed into service a passer-by coming from the countryside, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and (B)Rufus), to [a]carry His cross.
The Crucifixion
22 (C)Then they *brought Him to the place (D)Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23 And they tried to give Him (E)wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it. 24 And they *crucified Him, and *(F)divided up His garments among themselves, casting [b]lots for them to decide who should take what. 25 Now it was the [c](G)third hour, and they crucified Him. 26 And the inscription of the charge against Him [d]read, “(H)THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
27 And they *crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left. 28 [e][And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with transgressors.”] 29 And those passing by were blaspheming Him, (I)shaking their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who are going to (J)destroy the [f]sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, 30 save Yourself by coming down from the cross!” 31 In the same way, mocking Him to one another, the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were saying, “(K)He saved others; [g]He cannot save Himself. 32 Let this [h]Christ, (L)the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” (M)Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

Evangelical Heritage Version
21 A certain man, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), was passing by on his way in from the country. They forced him to carry Jesus’ cross. 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha, which means, “The place of a skull.” 23 They tried to give him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. 24 They crucified him. And they divided his garments, casting lots for them to decide what each of them would take.
25 Now it was the third hour[a] when they crucified him. 26 The superscription stating the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.” 27 They also crucified two criminals with him, one on his right and one on his left.[b]
29 Those who passed by ridiculed him, shaking their heads and saying, “Ha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30 save yourself! Come down from the cross!”
31 In the same way, the chief priests along with the experts in the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said. “He cannot save himself. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross so that we may see and believe!”
Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.
