New Testament in a Year

²⁶ and the inscription of his accusation was written above -- `The King of the Jews.'

²⁷ And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,

²⁸ and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with lawless ones he was numbered.'

²⁹ And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!

³⁰ save thyself, and come down from the cross!'

³¹ And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.

³² The Christ! the king of Israel -- let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

³³ And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour,

³⁴ and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, `Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?' which is, being interpreted, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?'

³⁵ And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, `Lo, Elijah he doth call;'

³⁶ and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put [it] also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.'

³⁷ And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit,

³⁸ and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,

³⁹ and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, `Truly this man was Son of God.'

⁴⁰ And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,

⁴¹ (who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

⁴² And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath,

⁴³ Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.

⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead,

⁴⁵ and having known [it] from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

⁴⁶ And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre,

⁴⁷ and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.
