Old/New Testament

Jesus Is Crucified

²⁶ And when they led Him away, having taken-hold-of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian^[a] coming from the country, they laid the cross on him to carry behind Jesus. ²⁷ And a large crowd of the people, and of women who were beating-their-breasts and lamenting Him, was following Him. ²⁸ But having turned to them, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not be weeping for Me. But weep for yourselves and for your children. ²⁹ Because behold— days are coming during which they will say, ‘Blessed^[b] are the barren, and^[c] the wombs which did not bear and breasts which did not feed^[d]’. ³⁰ At-that-time they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us’, and to the hills, ‘Cover us’. ³¹ Because if they are doing these things in-the-case-of the wet wood^[e], what will happen in-the-case-of the dry^[f]?” ³² And two other^[g] criminals were also being led to be executed with Him. ³³ And when they came to the place being called “The Skull^[h]”, there they crucified Him and the criminals— one on the right side, and the other on the left side. ³⁴ But^[i] Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing”. And they cast lots, dividing His garments among themselves.

³⁵ And the people were standing there watching. And the rulers were also sneering-at Him, saying “He saved others. Let Him save Himself if this One is the Christ of God, the Chosen One”. ³⁶ And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming to Him, offering Him sour-wine^[j], ³⁷ and saying “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself ”. ³⁸ And there was also an inscription over Him— “This is the King of the Jews”. ³⁹ And one of the criminals having been hung was blaspheming Him, saying “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us”. ⁴⁰ But having responded, the other, rebuking him, said “Do you not even fear God? Because you are under the same condemnation^[k]! ⁴¹ And we are suffering justly, for we are receiving-back things worthy of the things which we did— but this One did nothing out-of-place^[l]”. ⁴² And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom”. ⁴³ And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, you will be with Me today in paradise”.

Darkness Comes Over the Land And The Temple Curtain Is Torn. Jesus Dies

⁴⁴ And it was now about the sixth^[m] hour. And a darkness came over the whole land^[n] until the ninth hour, ⁴⁵ the sun having failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn^[o] in-the-middle. ⁴⁶ And having called-out with a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, I commend^[p] My spirit into Your hands”. And having said this, He expired. ⁴⁷ And having seen the thing having taken place, the centurion was glorifying God, saying “This man really was righteous”. ⁴⁸ And all the crowds having come together for this sight, having watched the things having taken place, were returning striking their chests. ⁴⁹ But all His acquaintances and the women accompanying Him from Galilee were standing at a distance while seeing these things.

⁵⁰ And behold, there was a man, Joseph by name— being a council-member and a good and righteous man (⁵¹ this one had not consented to the plan^[q] and their action)— from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting-for the kingdom of God. ⁵² This one, having gone to Pilate, asked-for the body of Jesus. ⁵³ And having taken it down, he wrapped it in linen-cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut-in-the-rock where no one was yet lying. ⁵⁴ And it was the day of Preparation^[r], and the Sabbath was dawning^[s].
