New Testament in a Year
27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
28 And they stripped him and put on him a scarlet robe.
29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head and a reed in his right hand; and they bowed the knee before him and mocked him, saying, Receive joy, King of the Jews!
30 And they spit upon him and took the reed and smote him on the head.
31 And after they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him and put his own raiment on him and led him away to crucify {Gr. stauroo – Hang on a stake} him.
32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to bear his cross. {Gr. stauros -stake}
33 ¶ And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, the place of a skull,
34 they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall; and when he had tasted of it, he would not drink.
35 And they crucified him and parted his garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my raiment did they cast lots.
36 And sitting down they watched him there
37 and set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand and another on the left.
39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads
40 and saying, Thou that wouldst destroy the temple and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. {Gr. stauros -stake}
41 Likewise also the princes of the priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
42 He saved others; he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, {Gr. stauros -stake} and we will believe him.
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him, for he said, I am the Son of God.
44 The thieves also, who were crucified with him, reproached him with the same.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of those that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calls for Elijah.
48 And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it with vinegar and put it on a reed and gave him to drink.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.
50 ¶ But Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, gave up the spirit.
