Old/New Testament

²⁶ And as they led him away, they caught one Simon of Cyrene coming out of the field, and on him they laid the cross, to bear it after Jesus.

²⁷ And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which women bewailed and lamented him. ²⁸ But Jesus turned back to them and said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. ²⁹ For behold, the days will come when men will say, Happy are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the paps that never gave suck. ³⁰ Then will they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the hills, Cover us! ³¹ For if they do this to a green tree, what shall be done to the dry?

³² And there were two evil-doers led with him to be slain. ³³ And when they came to the place that is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the evil-doers also, one on the right hand and the other on the left. ³⁴ Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

And they divided up his garments and cast lots for them. ³⁵ And the people stood and looked on. And the leaders mocked him with them, saying, He helped other men; let him help himself, if he is Christ, the chosen of God. ³⁶ The soldiers also mocked him, and came and gave him vinegar, ³⁷ and said, If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself. ³⁸ And a superscription was written over him in Greek, in Latin, and Hebrew: this is the king of the jews.

³⁹ And one of the evil-doers who hung there railed on him, saying, If you are the Christ, save yourself and us. ⁴⁰ But the other answered and rebuked him, saying, Do you not fear God, seeing that you are under the same sentence? ⁴¹ We are rightly punished, for we receive according to our deeds, but this man has done nothing amiss. ⁴² And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom. ⁴³ And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, today you shall be with me in Paradise.

⁴⁴ And it was about the sixth hour. And there came a darkness over all the land until the ninth hour, ⁴⁵ and the sun was darkened. And the veil of the temple did tear, right through the middle. ⁴⁶ And Jesus cried with a great voice and said, Father, into your hands I commit my spirit. And when he had thus spoken, he gave up the spirit.

⁴⁷ When the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, Surely this was a just man. ⁴⁸ And all the people who came together to that sight, beholding the things that were done, smote their breasts and returned home. ⁴⁹ And all those who knew him, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood afar off beholding these things.

⁵⁰ And there was a man named Joseph, a member of the council, and he was a good man and just. ⁵¹ He had not consented to their counsel and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, and he was also waiting for the kingdom of God. ⁵² He went to Pilate and requested the body of Jesus, ⁵³ and took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb hewn out in stone, in which no man had ever before been laid. ⁵⁴ And that day was the day of preparation; and the Sabbath drew on.

⁵⁵ The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed after, and saw the sepulchre and how his body was laid. ⁵⁶ And they returned and prepared spices and oyntments, but rested on the Sabbath day according to the commandment.
