Matthew 27:33-44

331And when they came to a place called 2Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull, 343they gave Him 4wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink.

35And when they had crucified Him, 5they divided up His garments among themselves by casting 6lots. 36And sitting down, they began to 7keep watch over Him there. 37And above His head they put up the charge against Him 8which read, “9THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

38At that time two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left. 39And those passing by were 10hurling abuse at Him, 11wagging their heads 40and saying, “12You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! 13If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying, 42“14He saved others; 15He cannot save Himself. 16He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 4317He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He 18delights in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 4419The robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.
