Matthew 27:32-64

321As they were comingG1831 out, they foundG2147 a manG444 of 2CyreneG2956 namedG3686 SimonG4613, 3whomG3778 they pressedG29 into serviceG29 to bearG142 His crossG4716.

334And when they cameG2064 to a placeG5117 calledG3004 5GolgothaG1115, whichG3739 meansG3004 PlaceG5117 of a SkullG2898, 346they gaveG1325 Him 7wineG3631 to drinkG4095 mixedG3396 with gallG5521; and after tastingG1089 it, He was unwillingG3756G2309 to drinkG4095.

35And when they had crucifiedG4717 Him, 8they dividedG1266 up His garmentsG2440 amongG1266 themselves by castingG906 9lotsG2819. 36And sittingG2521 downG2521, they began to 10keepG5083 watchG5083 overG5083 Him thereG1563. 37And aboveG1883 His headG2776 they putG2007 up the chargeG156 againstG156 Him 11which readG1125, “12THISG3778 IS JESUSG2424 THE KINGG935 OF THE JEWSG2453.”

38At that timeG5119 twoG1417 robbersG3027 were crucifiedG4717 with Him, oneG1520 on the rightG1188 and oneG1520 on the leftG2176. 39And thoseG3588 passingG3899 by were 13hurlingG987 abuseG987 at Him, 14waggingG2795 their headsG2776 40and sayingG3004, “15You who are going to destroyG2647 the templeG3485 and rebuildG3618 it in threeG5140 daysG2250, saveG4982 YourselfG4572! 16IfG1487 You are the SonG5207 of GodG2316, comeG2597 downG2597 from the crossG4716.” 41In the sameG3668 wayG3668 the chiefG749 priestsG749 alsoG2532, along with the scribesG1122 and eldersG4245, were mockingG1702 Him and sayingG3004, 42“17He savedG4982 othersG243; 18He cannotG1410G3756 saveG4982 HimselfG1438. 19He is the KingG935 of IsraelG2474; let Him nowG3568 comeG2597 downG2597 from the crossG4716, and we will believeG4100 in Him. 4320He trustsG3982 in GodG2316; let GodG2316 rescueG4506 Him nowG3568, ifG1487 He 21delightsG2309 in Him; for He saidG3004, ‘I amG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.’” 4422The robbersG3027 who had been crucifiedG4957 with Him were alsoG2532 insultingG3679 Him with the sameG846 words.

4523NowG1161 from the 24sixthG1623 hourG5610 darknessG4655 25fellG1096 upon allG3956 the landG1093 untilG2193 the 26ninthG1729 hourG5610. 46AboutG4012 the ninthG1729 hourG5610 JesusG2424 criedG310 out with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, “27EliG2241, EliG2241, lamaG2982 sabachthaniG4518?” that is, “My GodG2316, My GodG2316, whyG2444 have You forsakenG1459 Me?” 47And someG5100 of thoseG3588 who were standingG2476 thereG1563, when they heardG191 it, began sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 is callingG5455 for ElijahG2243.” 4828ImmediatelyG2112 oneG1520 of them ranG5143, and takingG2983 a spongeG4699, he filledG4092 it with sourG3690 wineG3690 and putG4060 it on a reedG2563, and gaveG4222 Him a drinkG4222. 49But the restG3062 of them saidG3004, “29LetG863 us seeG3708 whetherG1487 ElijahG2243 will comeG2064 to saveG4982 Him30.” 50And JesusG2424 31criedG2896 out againG3825 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, and yieldedG863 up His spiritG4151. 5132And beholdG2400, 33the 34veilG2665 of the templeG3485 was tornG4977 in twoG1417 from topG509 to bottomG2736; and 35the earthG1093 shookG4579 and the rocksG4073 were splitG4977. 52The tombsG3419 were openedG455, and manyG4183 bodiesG4983 of the 36saintsG40 who had 37fallenG2837 asleepG2837 were raisedG1453; 53and comingG1831 out of the tombsG3419 afterG3326 His resurrectionG1454 they enteredG1525 38the holyG40 cityG4172 and appearedG1718 to manyG4183. 5439NowG1161 the centurionG1543, and thoseG3588 who were with him 40keepingG5083 guardG5083 overG5083 JesusG2424, when they sawG3708 41the earthquakeG4578 and the things that were happeningG1096, became veryG4970 frightenedG5399 and saidG3004, “TrulyG230 thisG3778 was 4243the SonG5207 of GodG2316!”

5544ManyG4183 womenG1135 were thereG1563 lookingG2334 on from a distanceG3113, whoG3748 had followedG190 JesusG2424 from GalileeG1056 while 4546ministeringG1247 to Him. 56AmongG1722 them was 47MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094, and MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of JamesG2385 and JosephG2501, and 48the motherG3384 of the sonsG5207 of ZebedeeG2199.

5749When it was eveningG3798, there cameG2064 a richG4145 manG444 from ArimatheaG707, namedG5122 JosephG2501, whoG3739 himselfG846 had alsoG2532 becomeG3100 a discipleG3100 of JesusG2424. 58ThisG3778 manG3778 wentG4334 to PilateG4091 and askedG154 for the bodyG4983 of JesusG2424. ThenG5119 PilateG4091 orderedG2753 it to be givenG591 to him. 59And JosephG2501 tookG2983 the bodyG4983 and wrappedG1794 it in a cleanG2513 linenG4616 clothG4616, 60and laidG5087 it in his own newG2537 tombG3419, whichG3739 he had hewnG2998 out in the rockG4073; and he rolledG4351 50a largeG3173 stoneG3037 against the entranceG2374 of the tombG3419 and wentG565 awayG565. 61And 51MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094 was thereG1563, and the otherG243 MaryG3137, sittingG2521 oppositeG561 the graveG5028.

62NowG1161 on the nextG1887 dayG1887, 52the dayG1887 afterG3326 53the preparationG3904, the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the PhariseesG5330 gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 with PilateG4091, 63and saidG3004, “SirG2962, we rememberG3403 that when He was stillG2089 aliveG2198 that deceiverG4108 saidG3004, ‘54AfterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 I am to riseG1453 againG1453.’ 64ThereforeG3767, giveG2753 ordersG2753 for the graveG5028 to be madeG805 secureG805 untilG2193 the thirdG5154 dayG2250, otherwiseG3379 His disciplesG3101 may comeG2064 and stealG2813 Him awayG2813 and sayG3004 to the peopleG2992, ‘He has risenG1453 from the deadG3498,’ and the lastG2078 deceptionG4106 will be worseG5501 than the firstG4413.”
