Matthew 27:32-56
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 were 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 they that 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, which were crucified
with him, cast the same in his teeth.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was
darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried
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 them that stood there, when
they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and
took a spunge, 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 Elias will come to save him.
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a
loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was
rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake,
and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many
bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his
resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto
many.
54 Now when the centurion, and they that
were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things
that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son
of God.
55 And many women were there beholding
afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto
him:
56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and
Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees
children.
