27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto Him the whole detachment of soldiers.

28 And they stripped Him and put on Him a scarlet robe.

29 And when they had plaited a crown of thorns, they put it upon His head and a reed in His right hand, and they bowed their knees before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

30 And they spat 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 Him.

32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to bear His cross.

33 And when they had come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a Place of a Skull,

34 they gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with gall. And when He had tasted thereof, 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 vesture 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 were there two thieves crucified with Him, one on the right hand and another on the left.

39 And those who passed by reviled Him, wagging their heads

40 and saying, “Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself! If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking Him, with the scribes and elders said,

42 “He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, 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, cast the same in His teeth.

45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out 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 who stood there, when they heard that, said, “This man calleth 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 Jesus, when He had cried out again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
