Matthew 27:34-48

341they gaveG1325 Him 2wineG3631 to drinkG4095 mixedG3396 with gallG5521; and after tastingG1089 it, He was unwillingG3756G2309 to drinkG4095.

35And when they had crucifiedG4717 Him, 3they dividedG1266 up His garmentsG2440 amongG1266 themselves by castingG906 4lotsG2819. 36And sittingG2521 downG2521, they began to 5keepG5083 watchG5083 overG5083 Him thereG1563. 37And aboveG1883 His headG2776 they putG2007 up the chargeG156 againstG156 Him 6which readG1125, “7THISG3778 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 8hurlingG987 abuseG987 at Him, 9waggingG2795 their headsG2776 40and sayingG3004, “10You who are going to destroyG2647 the templeG3485 and rebuildG3618 it in threeG5140 daysG2250, saveG4982 YourselfG4572! 11IfG1487 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“12He savedG4982 othersG243; 13He cannotG1410G3756 saveG4982 HimselfG1438. 14He is the KingG935 of IsraelG2474; let Him nowG3568 comeG2597 downG2597 from the crossG4716, and we will believeG4100 in Him. 4315He trustsG3982 in GodG2316; let GodG2316 rescueG4506 Him nowG3568, ifG1487 He 16delightsG2309 in Him; for He saidG3004, ‘I amG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.’” 4417The robbersG3027 who had been crucifiedG4957 with Him were alsoG2532 insultingG3679 Him with the sameG846 words.

4518NowG1161 from the 19sixthG1623 hourG5610 darknessG4655 20fellG1096 upon allG3956 the landG1093 untilG2193 the 21ninthG1729 hourG5610. 46AboutG4012 the ninthG1729 hourG5610 JesusG2424 criedG310 out with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, “22EliG2241, 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.” 4823ImmediatelyG2112 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.
