Old/New Testament
The King of The Jews Is Mocked, Spit On, Beaten And Crucified
27 Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus into the Praetorium[a], gathered the whole [Roman] cohort[b] to[c] Him. 28 And having stripped Him, they put a scarlet cloak[d] on Him. 29 And having woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on His head, and they put a staff [e] in His right hand. And having knelt in front of Him, they mocked Him, saying, “Hail[f], King of the Jews!” 30 And having spat on Him, they took the staff and were striking Him on His head. 31 And when they mocked Him, they stripped the cloak off Him and put His garments on Him. And they led Him away so as to crucify Him. 32 And while going forth, they found a Cyrenian[g] man, Simon by name. They pressed this one into service in order that he might take-up His cross. 33 And having come to a place being called Golgotha[h] (which is meaning “The Place of a Skull”), 34 they gave Him wine having been mixed with gall[i] to drink. And having tasted it, He did not want to drink. 35 And having crucified Him, they divided His garments among themselves, casting a lot. 36 And sitting-down, they were guarding Him there. 37 And above His head they put on His charge, having been written, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews”. 38 Then two robbers[j] are crucified with Him, one on the right side and one on the left side.
The King of Israel Is Mocked While Hanging On The Cross
39 And the ones passing by were blaspheming Him while shaking their heads 40 and saying, “The One tearing-down the temple and building it in three days, save Yourself— if [k] You are God’s Son— and come down from the cross”. 41 Likewise also the chief priests, mocking Him with the scribes and elders, were saying, 42 “He saved others— Himself He is not able to save! He is King of Israel— let Him come down now from the cross and we will put-faith upon Him! 43 He trusts in God— let Him deliver Him now, if He wants[l] Him. For He said that ‘I am God’s Son’”. 44 And even[m] the robbers, the ones having been crucified with Him, were reproaching Him the same.
Jesus Dies
45 And from the sixth hour, a darkness came over all the land[n] until the ninth[o] hour. 46 And around the ninth hour Jesus shouted-out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?”, that is, “My God, My God, why[p] did you forsake[q] Me?” 47 And some of the ones standing there, having heard, were saying that “This One is calling Elijah”. 48 And immediately one of them— having run, and having taken a sponge, and having filled it with sour-wine[r], and having put it on a stick[s]— was giving-a-drink-to Him. 49 But the others were saying, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him”. 50 And Jesus, again having cried-out[t] with a loud voice, let His spirit go[u].
