30  A tenei ake, a te wa e tae mai ai enei mea katoa ki a koe, te manaaki me te kanga, i hoatu nei e ahau ki tou aroaro, a ka mahara tou hinengaro ki aua mea i roto i nga iwi katoa e peia ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua ki reira,

A ka tahuri koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ka whakarongo ki tona reo, ki nga mea katoa e whakahau nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, koutou ko au tamariki, i tou ngakau katoa, i tou wairua katoa;

Katahi a Ihowa, tou Atua, ka whakaputa ke i tou parautanga, ka aroha ano ki a koe, ka tahuri hoki, ka kohikohi i a koe i roto i nga iwi katoa i whakamararatia atu ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua ki reira.

Mehemea tera etahi o koutou i peia kei nga topito ra ano o te rangi, ka kohikohia mai ano koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i reira, ka tikina ano koe e ia i reira:

A ka kawea mai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki te whenua i nohoia e ou matua, ka nohoia hoki a reira e koe; a ka mahi ia i te pai ki a koe, ka mea hoki i a koe kia maha atu i ou matua.

A ka kokoti a Ihowa, tou Atua, i tou ngakau, i te ngakau ano hoki o ou uri, e aroha ai koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i tou ngakau katoa, i tou wairua katoa, kia ora ai koe.

A ka tukua iho e Ihowa, e tou Atua, enei kanga katoa ki ou hoariri, ki te hunga hoki e kino ana ki a koe, i whakatupu kino nei i a koe.

Ko koe ia ka tahuri, ka whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa, ka mahi i ana whakahau katoa, e whakahau nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra.

A ka mea a Ihowa, tou Atua, kia nui nga mea mau i te mahi katoa a tou ringa, i te hua o tou kopu, i te hua hoki o au kararehe, i te hua hoki o tou oneone, mo te pai: no te mea ka tahuri mai ano a Ihowa, ka hari ki a koe mo te pai, ka pera me ia i hari ki ou matua:

10 Ki te whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ki te pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana tikanga, ka tuhituhia nei ki tenei pukapuka o te ture; ki te tahuri koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i tou ngakau katoa, i tou wairua katoa.

11 Ko tenei ture hoki, e whakahau nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, ehara i te mea pakeke rawa ki a koe, i te mea tawhiti ranei.

12 Kahore i te rangi, e mea ai koe, Ko wai o tatou hei piki ki te rangi ki te tiki atu i tena mea ma tatou, hei mea kia rongo atu tatou, kia mahi ai tatou?

13 Kahore i tawahi o te moana, hei meatanga mau, Ko wai o tatou hei whakawhiti ki tawahi o te moana, ki te tiki i tena mea ki a tatou, hei mea kia rongo atu tatou, kia mahi ai tatou?

14 Kei te tata tonu ra te kupu ki a koe, kei roto i tou waha, kei roto hoki i tou ngakau, mo tau mahi atu.

15 Titiro, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou aroaro i tenei ra te ora me te pai, te mate me te kino;

16 I ahau e whakahau nei i a koe i tenei ra kia aroha ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kia haere i ana huarahi, kia pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana tikanga, i ana whakaritenga, kia ora ai koe, kia nui ai hoki, kia manaaki ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe ki te w henua e haere nei koe ki reira ki te tango.

17 Otiia ki te tahuri ke tou ngakau, ki te kore koe e rongo, a ka takina atu koe ki te koropiko ki nga atua ke, kia mahi hoki ki a ratou;

18 Maku e whakaatu ki a koutou i tenei ra, ka ngaro rawa atu koutou; e kore e roa o koutou ra ki te whenua e whiti atu nei koe i Horano, e haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango.

19 Ka waiho e ahau i tenei ra te rangi me te whenua hei kaititiro i a koutou, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou aroaro te ora me te mate, te manaaki me te kanga: na reira manakohia te ora, kia ora ai koutou ko ou uri:

20 Aroha ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, whakarongo ki tona reo, piri atu hoki ki a ia: ko ia hoki tou ora, te whakaroanga atu mo ou ra: kia noho ai koe ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki ou matua kia hoatu ki a ratou, ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hako pa.

31  A i haere a Mohi, i korero i enei kupu ki a Iharaira katoa.

I mea ia ki a ratou, Ko toku kaumatua i tenei ra ka kotahi rau e rua tekau nga tau; e kore ahau e ahei ano te kopiko atu, te kopiko mai: kua mea mai hoki a Ihowa ki ahau, E kore koe e whiti i tenei Horano.

Ko Ihowa, ko tou Atua, ko ia e whakawhiti ki mua i a koe; mana e whakangaro atu enei iwi i mua i a koe, a ka riro ratou i a koe: a ko Hohua, ko ia e whiti atu i mua i a koe, ka rite ki ta Ihowa i korero ai.

A ka rite ta Ihowa e mea ai ki a ratou ki tana i mea ai ki a Hihona raua ko Oka, ki nga kingi o nga Amori, ki to ratou whenua hoki; i huna nei e ia.

A ka homai ratou e Ihowa ki to koutou aroaro, a ka rite ta koutou e mea ai ki a ratou ki nga whakahau katoa i whakahau ai ahau ki a koutou.

Kia maia, kia toa, kaua e wehi, kaua e pawera i a ratou: no te mea ko Ihowa, ko tou Atua, ko ia te haere tahi ana i a koe; e kore ia e whakarere i a koe, e kore hoki e mawehe atu i a koe.

Na ka karanga a Mohi ki a Hohua, a ka mea ki a ia i te tirohanga a Iharaira katoa, Kia maia, kia toa: ko koe hoki e haere tahi me tenei iwi ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki o ratou matua kia homai ki a ratou; mau ano ratou e whakawhiwhi ki taua wahi.

Ko Ihowa ano, ko ia te haere ana i tou aroaro, hei tou taha ia, e kore ia e whakarere i a koe, e kore hoki e mawehe atu i a koe: kaua e wehi, kaua hoki e pawera.

A tuhituhia iho e Mohi tenei ture, hoatu ana ki nga tohunga, ki nga tama a Riwai, ko ratou nei nga kaiamo i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, ki nga kaumatua katoa ano hoki o Iharaira.

10 I ako ano a Mohi ki a ratou, i mea, Hei te mutunga o nga tau e whitu, hei te wa ano e rite ai i te tau tuku noa, i te hakari o nga whare wharau,

11 I te wa e tae ai a Iharaira katoa ki te whakakite i a ratou ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai ia, ka korero ai koe i tenei ture ki te aroaro o Iharaira katoa, kia rongo ai ratou.

12 Whakaminea te iwi, nga tane, nga wahine, nga tamariki, me tou tangata iwi ke i roto i ou kuwaha, kia rongo ai ratou, kia whakaakona ai, kia wehi ai i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, kia mau ai ki te mahi i nga kupu katoa o tenei ture:

13 Kia rongo ai hoki a ratou tamariki, kihai nei i mohio, kia whakaakona ai kia wehi i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, i nga ra katoa e ora ai koutou ki te whenua e whiti atu nei koutou i Horano ki reira ki te tango.

14 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Nana, ka tata ou ra e mate ai koe: karangatia atu a Hohua, e tu hoki korua ki roto ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, a maku e ako ki a ia. Na ka haere a Mohi raua ko Hohua, a tu ana raua i roto i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

15 Na ka puta mai a Ihowa ki te tapenakara i roto ano i te pou kapua: a tu ana te pou kapua i runga i te kuwaha o te tapenakara.

16 Katahi ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Nana, ka takoto koe ki ou matua; a ka whakatika te iwi nei, ka whai atu, ka puremu ki nga atua ke o te whenua, e haere na ratou ki reira noho ai ki waenganui i a ratou; ka whakarere i ahau, ka whakataka hoki i ta ku kawenata i whakaritea atu e ahau ki a ratou.

17 A ka mura toku riri ki a ratou i taua ra, a ka whakarere ahau i a ratou, ka huna hoki i toku kanohi i a ratou, a ka pau ratou, ka pa ano hoki nga kino maha me nga matenga ki a ratou; a ka mea ratou i taua ra, Kahore ianei enei kino i pa mai ki a tatou, no te mea kahore to tatou Atua i roto i a tatou?

18 Ko ahau ia, ka huna rawa ahau i toku kanohi i taua ra, mo nga kino katoa i meatia e ratou, mo ratou i tahuri ki nga atua ke.

19 Na tuhituhia tenei hei waiata ma korua, ka whakaako hoki ki nga tama a Iharaira: hoatu hoki ki roto ki o ratou waha, kia ai tenei waiata hei kaiwhakaatu moku ki nga tama a Iharaira.

20 No te mea ka oti ratou te kawe e ahau ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ki o ratou matua, e rerengia nei e te waiu, e te honi; a ka kai ratou, ka makona, ka momona hoki; ko reira ratou tahuri ai ki nga atua ke, mahi ai ki a ratou, a ka whakahawea rato u ki ahau, ka whakataka hoki i taku kawenata.

21 A, tenei ake, hei te panga o nga kino maha, o nga mate maha ki a ratou, na ma tenei waiata e whakaatu ki to ratou aroaro; no te mea e kore e mahue i nga waha o o ratou uri: e mohio ana hoki ahau ki o ratou whakaaro e tito nei ratou inaianei nei ano, i te mea kiano ahau i kawe noa i a ratou ki te whenua i oati ai ahau.

22 Na tuhituhia ana e Mohi tenei waiata i taua rangi ano, a whakaakona ana ki nga tama a Iharaira.

23 A i whakahau ano ia i a Hohua, i te tama a Nunu, i mea, Kia maia, kia toa: mau hoki e kawe nga tama a Iharaira ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ki a ratou: a hei a koe ahau.

24 A, ka oti i a Mohi te tuhi nga kupu o tenei ture ki tetahi pukapuka, a poto noa,

25 Na, ka whakahau a Mohi i nga Riwaiti, i nga kaiamo i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, ka mea,

26 Tangohia tenei pukapuka o te ture, hoatu ki te taha o te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, a to koutou atua, a hei reira takoto ai, hei whakaatu ki a koe.

27 No te mea e mohio ana ahau ki tou tutu, ki tou kaki maro: nana, i ahau e ora nei ano i a koutou i tenei ra, e tutu ana ano koutou ki a Ihowa; a ka mate ahau, tera noa ake!

28 Huihuia mai ki ahau nga kaumatua katoa o o koutou iwi, me o koutou rangatira, a ka korero ahau i enei kupu ki o ratou taringa, ka waiho hoki i te rangi, i te whenua hei kaititiro mo ratou.

29 No te mea e mohio ana ahau, ko muri i toku matenga taka rawa ai koutou, peka ke ai i te huarahi i kiia atu e ahau ki a koutou; a ka pono mai te kino ki a koutou i nga ra whakamutunga; mo koutou ka mahi i te kino i te tirohanga a Ihowa, hei whaka pataritari i a ia ki te mahi a o koutou ringa.

30 A korerotia ana e Mohi nga kupu o tenei waiata ki nga taringa o te huihuinga katoa o Iharaira a poto noa.

Prosperity After Turning to the Lord

30 When all these blessings and curses(A) I have set before you come on you and you take them to heart wherever the Lord your God disperses you among the nations,(B) and when you and your children return(C) to the Lord your God and obey him with all your heart(D) and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes[a](E) and have compassion(F) on you and gather(G) you again from all the nations where he scattered(H) you.(I) Even if you have been banished to the most distant land under the heavens,(J) from there the Lord your God will gather(K) you and bring you back.(L) He will bring(M) you to the land that belonged to your ancestors, and you will take possession of it. He will make you more prosperous and numerous(N) than your ancestors. The Lord your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants,(O) so that you may love(P) him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live. The Lord your God will put all these curses(Q) on your enemies who hate and persecute you.(R) You will again obey the Lord and follow all his commands I am giving you today. Then the Lord your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land.(S) The Lord will again delight(T) in you and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your ancestors, 10 if you obey the Lord your God and keep his commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law(U) and turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.(V)

The Offer of Life or Death

11 Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.(W) 12 It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven(X) to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?”(Y) 13 Nor is it beyond the sea,(Z) so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?”(AA) 14 No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.(AB)

15 See, I set before you today life(AC) and prosperity,(AD) death(AE) and destruction.(AF) 16 For I command you today to love(AG) the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live(AH) and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.

17 But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, 18 I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed.(AI) You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.

19 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you(AJ) that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.(AK) Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20 and that you may love(AL) the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life,(AM) and he will give(AN) you many years in the land(AO) he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Joshua to Succeed Moses

31 Then Moses went out and spoke these words to all Israel: “I am now a hundred and twenty years old(AP) and I am no longer able to lead you.(AQ) The Lord has said to me, ‘You shall not cross the Jordan.’(AR) The Lord your God himself will cross(AS) over ahead of you.(AT) He will destroy these nations(AU) before you, and you will take possession of their land. Joshua also will cross(AV) over ahead of you, as the Lord said. And the Lord will do to them what he did to Sihon and Og,(AW) the kings of the Amorites, whom he destroyed along with their land. The Lord will deliver(AX) them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded you. Be strong and courageous.(AY) Do not be afraid or terrified(AZ) because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you;(BA) he will never leave you(BB) nor forsake(BC) you.”

Then Moses summoned Joshua and said(BD) to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their ancestors to give them,(BE) and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you;(BF) he will never leave you nor forsake you.(BG) Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

Public Reading of the Law

So Moses wrote(BH) down this law and gave it to the Levitical priests, who carried(BI) the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel. 10 Then Moses commanded them: “At the end of every seven years, in the year for canceling debts,(BJ) during the Festival of Tabernacles,(BK) 11 when all Israel comes to appear(BL) before the Lord your God at the place he will choose,(BM) you shall read this law(BN) before them in their hearing. 12 Assemble the people—men, women and children, and the foreigners residing in your towns—so they can listen and learn(BO) to fear(BP) the Lord your God and follow carefully all the words of this law. 13 Their children,(BQ) who do not know this law, must hear it and learn to fear the Lord your God as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”

Israel’s Rebellion Predicted

14 The Lord said to Moses, “Now the day of your death(BR) is near. Call Joshua(BS) and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, where I will commission him.(BT)” So Moses and Joshua came and presented themselves at the tent of meeting.(BU)

15 Then the Lord appeared at the tent in a pillar of cloud, and the cloud stood over the entrance to the tent.(BV) 16 And the Lord said to Moses: “You are going to rest with your ancestors,(BW) and these people will soon prostitute(BX) themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake(BY) me and break the covenant I made with them. 17 And in that day I will become angry(BZ) with them and forsake(CA) them; I will hide(CB) my face(CC) from them, and they will be destroyed. Many disasters(CD) and calamities will come on them, and in that day they will ask, ‘Have not these disasters come on us because our God is not with us?’(CE) 18 And I will certainly hide my face in that day because of all their wickedness in turning to other gods.

19 “Now write(CF) down this song and teach it to the Israelites and have them sing it, so that it may be a witness(CG) for me against them. 20 When I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, the land I promised on oath to their ancestors,(CH) and when they eat their fill and thrive, they will turn to other gods(CI) and worship them,(CJ) rejecting me and breaking my covenant.(CK) 21 And when many disasters and calamities come on them,(CL) this song will testify against them, because it will not be forgotten by their descendants. I know what they are disposed to do,(CM) even before I bring them into the land I promised them on oath.” 22 So Moses wrote(CN) down this song that day and taught it to the Israelites.

23 The Lord gave this command(CO) to Joshua son of Nun: “Be strong and courageous,(CP) for you will bring the Israelites into the land I promised them on oath, and I myself will be with you.”

24 After Moses finished writing(CQ) in a book the words of this law(CR) from beginning to end, 25 he gave this command to the Levites who carried(CS) the ark of the covenant of the Lord: 26 “Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God. There it will remain as a witness against you.(CT) 27 For I know how rebellious(CU) and stiff-necked(CV) you are. If you have been rebellious against the Lord while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die! 28 Assemble before me all the elders of your tribes and all your officials, so that I can speak these words in their hearing and call the heavens and the earth to testify against them.(CW) 29 For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt(CX) and to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster(CY) will fall on you because you will do evil in the sight of the Lord and arouse his anger by what your hands have made.”

The Song of Moses

30 And Moses recited the words of this song from beginning to end in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel:

  1. Deuteronomy 30:3 Or will bring you back from captivity

15  A, mea kau ake te ata, ka runanga nga tohunga nui, nga kaumatua, nga karaipi, me te runanga katoa, a ka herea e ratou a Ihu, ka arahina atu, a tukua atu ana ki a Pirato.

Ka ui a Pirato ki a ia, Ko koe ranei te Kingi o nga Hurai? Ka whakahokia e ia ki a ia, Kua korerotia na e koe.

He maha hoki nga mea i whakapaea ki a ia e nga tohunga nui, kaore ia i korero.

Ka ui ano a Pirato ki a ia, ka mea, Kahore au kupu whakahoki? Na, te tini o nga kupu e korero nei ratou mou.

Heoi kahore a Ihu i whakahoki atu ano; no ka miharo a Pirato.

Na i taua hakari kotahi te herehere e tukua ana e ia ki a ratou, ko ta ratou e inoi ai.

Na i reira tetahi tangata ko Parapa te ingoa, e here tahi ana me ona hoa tutu, he hunga i patu tangata i te ngangaretanga.

Na ka haere te mano, ka anga ka tono ki a ia kia peratia me tana i mea ai ki a ratou i mua.

Na ka whakahoki a Pirato ki a ratou, ka mea, E pai ana ranei koutou kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou te Kingi o nga Hurai?

10 I mahara hoki ia he hae i tukua ai ia e nga tohunga nui.

11 Otira ka whakatutehutia e ratou te mano, kia tukua e ia ko Parapa ke ki a ratou.

12 Na ka whakahoki ano a Pirato, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha oti ta koutou e pai ai kia meatia e ahau ki tenei e huaina nei e koutou ko te Kingi o nga Hurai?

13 Ka karanga ano ratou, Ripekatia.

14 Na ka mea a Pirato ki a ratou, He aha koia tana kino i mea ai? Heoi nui noa atu ta ratou hamama, Ripekatia ia.

15 Na, i tona hiahia kia whakamarietia te mano, tukua ana e Pirato a parapa ki a ratou, a, ka oti a Ihu te whiu, ka tukua kia ripekatia.

16 Na ka arahina ia e nga hoia ki te marae, ara ki te whare whakawa, a karangarangatia ana te ropu katoa.

17 Ka whakakahuria ia ki te kakahu papura, a, ka oti tetahi karauna tataramoa te whiri, ka potaea ki a ia.

18 Na ka anga ratou ka oha ki a ia, Tena koe, e te Kingi o nga Hurai!

19 Patua ana e ratou tona matenga ki te kakaho, tuwha ana ki a ia, ka tuku i nga turi ki a ia, a koropiko ana ki a ia.

20 A, no ka mutu ta ratou taunu ki a ia, ka tangohia te kahu papura i a ia, na whakakakahuria ana ia ki ona ake kakahu, a arahina ana ia kia ripekatia.

21 Na ka meinga e ratou tetahi tangata e tika ana na reira, a Haimona o hairini, i ahu mai i nga whenua, ko te papa o Arehanera raua ko Rupuha, kia haere me ratou, kia riro ai mana e amo tona ripeka.

22 Na ka arahina ia ki tetahi wahi, ki Korokota, tona tikanga ina whakamaoritia ko te Wahi Angaanga.

23 A hoatu ana ki a ia he waina, he mea whakananu ki te maira, kia inumia: otira kihai i tangohia e ia.

24 A ripekatia ana ia e ratou, ka wehewehea ona kakahu, he mea maka ki te rota, kia kitea ai ko te aha e riro i tetahi, i tetahi.

25 Na ko te toru tera o nga haora, a ka ripekatia ia e ratou.

Jesus Before Pilate(A)

15 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law(B) and the whole Sanhedrin,(C) made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.(D)

“Are you the king of the Jews?”(E) asked Pilate.

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”

But Jesus still made no reply,(F) and Pilate was amazed.

Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.

“Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”(G) asked Pilate, 10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas(H) instead.

12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.

13 “Crucify him!” they shouted.

14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.

But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”

15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged,(I) and handed him over to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus(J)

16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace(K) (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(L) 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out(M) to crucify him.

The Crucifixion of Jesus(N)

21 A certain man from Cyrene,(O) Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus,(P) was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.(Q) 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,(R) but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots(S) to see what each would get.

25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.
