- 27:27Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the praetorium and gathered about Him the whole cohort.
- 27:28And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe around Him,
- 27:29And they wove a crown of thorns and placed it on His head and put a reed in His right hand; and they kneeled before Him and mocked Him, saying, Rejoice, King of the Jews!
- 27:30And they spit on Him and took the reed and beat Him on the head.
- 27:31And when they had mocked Him, they stripped Him of the robe and put His garments on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
- 27:32And as they were going out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; this one they compelled to take up His cross.
- 27:33And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull,
- 27:34They gave Him wine to drink, mingled with gall. And when He tasted it, He would not drink.
- 27:35And when they had crucified Him, they divided His garments among themselves, casting lots.
- 27:36And they sat down and guarded Him there.
- 27:37And they set in writing over His head the charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
- 27:38At that time two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left.
- 27:39And those who were passing by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads
- 27:40And saying, You who destroy the temple and build it up in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!
- 27:41Likewise also the chief priests with the scribes and elders mocked Him and said,
- 27:42He saved others; Himself He cannot save. He is King of Israel; let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe on Him.
- 27:43He trusts in God; let Him rescue Him now if He wants Him, for He said, I am the Son of God.
- 27:44And in the same way the robbers who were crucified with Him also reproached Him.
- 27:45Now from the sixth hour darkness fell over all the land until the ninth hour.
- 27:46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
- 27:47And some of those standing there, when they heard this, said, This man is calling Elijah.
- 27:48And immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he soaked it with vinegar and put it on a reed, and gave it to Him to drink.
- 27:49But the rest said, Let Him be. Let us see if Elijah is coming to save Him.
- 27:50And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up His spirit.
- 27:51And behold, the veil of the temple was split in two from top to bottom, and the earth was shaken and the rocks were split,
- 27:52And the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
- 27:53And they came out of the tombs after His resurrection and entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
- 27:54Now the centurion and those with him guarding Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that happened, became greatly frightened, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
- 27:55And many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him,
- 27:56Among whom were Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
