The King on a Cross(A)

17 (B)And He, bearing His cross, (C)went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, 18 where they crucified Him, and (D)two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center. 19 (E)Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was:

JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

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)

22 (A)And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23 (B)Then they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it. 24 And when they crucified Him, (C)they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.

25 Now (D)it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. 26 And (E)the inscription of His [a]accusation was written above:

THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27 (F)With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left. 28 [b]So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, (G)“And He was numbered with the transgressors.”

29 And (H)those who passed by blasphemed Him, (I)wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! (J)You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”

31 Likewise the chief priests also, (K)mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, “He saved (L)others; Himself He cannot save. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and [c]believe.”

Even (M)those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.

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,(A) but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots(B) 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.(C)

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(D) and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(E) 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(F) among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah,(G) this king of Israel,(H) come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

  1. Mark 15:34 Psalm 22:1

23 (A)Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece. 24 They said therefore among themselves, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:

(B)“They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.”

Therefore the soldiers did these things.

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(A) that said,

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

So this is what the soldiers did.

27 And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned and lamented Him. 28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 (A)For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!’ 30 Then they will begin (B)‘to say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’ 31 (C)For if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?”

32 (D)There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. 33 And (E)when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left. 34 [a]Then Jesus said, “Father, (F)forgive them, for (G)they do not know what they do.”

And (H)they divided His garments and cast lots. 35 And (I)the people stood looking on. But even the (J)rulers with them sneered, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.”

36 The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him (K)sour wine, 37 and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”

38 (L)And an inscription also was [b]written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew:

THIS IS 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!”

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.”
