New International Version
The Crucifixion of Jesus(A)
21 A certain man from Cyrene,(B) Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus,(C) was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.(D) 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh,(E) but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots(F) to see what each would get.
25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.(G)
27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [a] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(H) and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(I) 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him(J) among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah,(K) this king of Israel,(L) come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

Crucified between Two Criminals
21 They(A) forced a man coming in from the country, who was passing by, to carry Jesus’ cross.(B) He was Simon, a Cyrenian,(C) the father of Alexander and Rufus.(D) 22 And(E) they brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means Skull Place(F)). 23 They tried to give Him wine(G) mixed with myrrh,(H) but He did not take it. 24 Then they crucified Him and divided His clothes, casting lots(I) for them to decide what each would get. 25 Now it was nine in the morning[a] when they crucified Him. 26 The inscription of the charge written against Him was:
27 They(L) crucified two criminals[b](M) with Him, one on His right and one on His left. [28 So the Scripture was fulfilled that says: And He was counted among outlaws.][c](N)[d] 29 Those(O) who passed by were yelling insults(P) at[e] Him, shaking their heads,(Q) and saying, “Ha! The One who would demolish the sanctuary and build it in three days,(R) 30 save Yourself by coming down from the cross!”(S) 31 In the same way, the chief priests with the scribes(T) were mocking Him to one another and saying, “He saved others; He cannot save Himself! 32 Let the Messiah,(U) the King(V) of Israel,(W) come down now from the cross,(X) so that we may see and believe.”(Y) Even those who were crucified with Him were taunting Him.
