Matthew 27:32-44
Legacy Standard Bible
32 (A)And as they were coming out, they found a man of (B)Cyrene named Simon, [a]whom they pressed into service to bear His cross.
The Crucifixion
33 (C)And when they came to a place called (D)Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull, 34 (E)they gave Him (F)wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He did not want to drink.
35 And when they had crucified Him, (G)they divided up His garments among themselves by casting [b]lots. 36 And sitting down, they began to (H)keep watch over Him there. 37 And above His head they put up the charge against Him [c]which read, “(I)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, (J)shaking their heads 40 and saying, “(K)You who are going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! (L)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 “(M)He saved others; [d]He cannot save Himself. (N)He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43 (O)He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He [e]delights in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 (P)And the robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.

Crucified Between Two Criminals
32 As they were going out, they found a Cyrenian man named Simon. They forced this man to carry His cross.(A) 33 When they came to a place called Golgotha(B) (which means Skull Place), 34 they gave Him wine[a] mixed with gall to drink. But when He tasted it, He would not 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, “The One who would demolish the sanctuary 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 has put His trust in God; let God rescue Him now—if He wants Him![g] For He said, ‘I am God’s Son.’” 44 In the same way even the criminals who were crucified with Him kept taunting Him.(H)
