Matthew 27:31-37

31After they finished ridiculing Him, they stripped Him of the scarlet robe and put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.

32Now as they were coming out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced into service to carry the cross of Jesus.

33And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull,

34they offered Him wine mixed with gall (myrrh, a bitter-tasting narcotic) to drink; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

35And when they had crucified Him, they divided His clothes among them by casting lots.

36Then sitting down there, they began to keep watch over Him [to guard against any rescue attempt].

37And above His head they put the accusation against Him which read, “THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
