Mark 15:21-32
New American Standard Bible
21 (A)And they *compelled a passer-by coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and (B)Rufus), to carry His cross.
The Crucifixion
22 (C)Then they *brought Him to the place (D)Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23 And they tried to give Him (E)wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it. 24 And they *crucified Him, and *(F)divided up His garments among themselves, casting [a]lots for them to decide [b]what each man would take. 25 Now it was the [c](G)third hour [d]when they crucified Him. 26 The inscription of the charge against Him [e]read, “(H)THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
27 And they *crucified two [f]rebels with Him, one on His right and one on His left.[g] 29 Those passing by were [h]hurling abuse at Him, (I)shaking their heads and saying, “Ha! You who are going to (J)destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30 save Yourself by coming down from the cross!” 31 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, “(K)He saved others; [i]He cannot save Himself! 32 Let this Christ, (L)the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” (M)Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

Disciples’ Literal New Testament
21 And they press-into-service a certain one passing by, coming from the country— Simon, a Cyrenian[a], the father of Alexander and Rufus— in order that he might take up His cross. 22 And they bring Him to the Golgotha[b] place, which being translated is “The Place of a Skull”. 23 And they were giving wine[c] having been mixed-with-myrrh to Him, but the One did not take it. 24 And they crucify Him, and divide His garments among themselves, casting a lot for them to decide who should take what. 25 And it was the third[d] hour, and they crucified Him. 26 And the inscription of His charge had been inscribed “The King of the Jews”. 27 And they crucify two robbers[e] with Him— one on the right side and one on His left side. 28 [f]
The King of Israel Is Mocked While Hanging On The Cross
29 And the ones passing by were blaspheming Him while shaking their heads and saying, “Ha! The One tearing-down the temple and building it in three days— 30 save Yourself, having come down from the cross”. 31 Likewise also the chief priests, mocking Him to one another with the scribes, were saying, “He saved others— Himself He is not able to save! 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe”. And the ones having been crucified with Him were reproaching Him.
