Matthew 27:32-44
Christian Standard Bible
Crucified Between Two Criminals
32 As they were going out, they found a Cyrenian man named Simon. They forced him to carry his cross.(A) 33 When they came to a place called Golgotha(B) (which means Place of the Skull), 34 they gave him wine[a] mixed with gall to drink. But when he tasted it, he refused to drink it. 35 After crucifying him, they divided his clothes by casting lots.[b](C) 36 Then they sat down and were guarding him there. 37 Above his head they put up the charge against him in writing: This Is Jesus, the King of the Jews.
38 Then two criminals[c] were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left.(D) 39 Those who passed by were yelling insults at[d] him, shaking their heads(E) 40 and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!” (F) 41 In the same way the chief priests, with the scribes and elders,[e] mocked him and said, 42 “He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the King of Israel!(G) Let him[f] come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43 He trusts in God; let God rescue him now—if he takes pleasure in him![g] For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 In the same way even the criminals who were crucified with him taunted him.(H)

Jesus Is Crucified
32 And as they[a] were going out, they found a man of Cyrene named[b] Simon. They forced this man to carry his cross. 33 And when they[c] came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull),[d] 34 they gave him wine mixed with gall to drink, and when he[e] tasted it[f] he did not want to drink it.[g] 35 And when they[h] had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves[i] by[j] casting lots. 36 And they sat down and[k] were watching over him there. 37 And they put above his head the charge against him in writing:[l] “This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.” 38 Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. 39 And those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads 40 and saying, “The one who would destroy the temple and rebuild it[m] in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!” 41 In the same way also the chief priests, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking him,[n] saying, 42 “He saved others; he is not able to save himself! He is the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him! 43 He trusts in God; let him deliver him now if he wants to,[o] because he said, ‘I am the Son of God’!” 44 And in the same way even the robbers who were crucified with him were reviling him.
