^34 (A)they gave Him ^(B)wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He did not want to drink.

³⁵ And when they had crucified Him, ^(C)they divided up His garments among themselves by casting ^[a]lots. ³⁶ And sitting down, they began to ^(D)keep watch over Him there. ³⁷ And above His head they put up the charge against Him ^[b]which read, “^(E)THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁸ At that time two robbers *were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left. ³⁹ And those passing by were blaspheming Him, ^(F)shaking their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, “^(G)You who are going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! ^(H)If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” ⁴¹ In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying, ⁴² “^(I)He saved others; ^[c]He cannot save Himself. ^(J)He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. ^43 (K)He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He ^[d]delights in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” ^44 (L)And the robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.

The Crucifixion

^22 (A)Then they *brought Him to the place ^(B)Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. ²³ And they tried to give Him ^(C)wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it. ²⁴ And they *crucified Him, and *^(D)divided up His garments among themselves, casting ^[a]lots for them to decide who should take what. ²⁵ Now it was the ^[b](E)third hour, and they crucified Him. ²⁶ And the inscription of the charge against Him ^[c]read, “^(F)THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

²⁷ And they *crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left. ^28 [d][And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with transgressors.”] ²⁹ And those passing by were blaspheming Him, ^(G)shaking their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who are going to ^(H)destroy the ^[e]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, “^(I)He saved others; ^[f]He cannot save Himself. ³² Let this ^[g]Christ, ^(J)the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” ^(K)Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

The Crucifixion

^33 (A)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, “^(B)Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” ^(C)And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves. ³⁵ And the people stood by, looking on. And even the ^(D)rulers were scoffing at Him, saying, “He saved others; ^(E)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, ^(F)offering Him sour wine, ³⁷ and saying, “^(G)If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!” ³⁸ Now there was also an inscription above Him, “^(H)THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

^39 (I)And one of the criminals hanging there was blaspheming Him, saying, “Are You not the ^[d]Christ? ^(J)Save Yourself and us!” ⁴⁰ But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? ⁴¹ And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving ^[e]what we deserve for what we have done; but this man has done nothing wrong.” ⁴² And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come ^[f]in Your kingdom!” ⁴³ And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in ^(K)Paradise.”

^17 (A)They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, ^[a](B)bearing His own cross, to the place called ^(C)the Place of a Skull, which is called ^(D)in ^[b]Hebrew, Golgotha. ¹⁸ There they crucified Him, and with Him ^(E)two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between. ¹⁹ And Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, “^(F)JESUS THE NAZARENE, ^(G)THE KING OF THE JEWS.” ²⁰ Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written ^(H)in ^[c]Hebrew, Latin, and in Greek. ²¹ So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘^(I)The King of the Jews;’ but that He said, ‘I am ^(J)King of the Jews.’” ²² Pilate answered, “^(K)What I have written I have written.”

²³ Then ^(L)the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made ^(M)four parts, a part to each soldier and also His ^[d]tunic; now that tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top. ²⁴ So they said to one another, “^(N)Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be;” ^(O)this was in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “They ^(P)divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast ^[e]lots.”
