Matthew 27:31-37

31 1And after they had mocked Him, they took the cloak off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.

32 2As they were coming out, they found a man of 3Cyrene named Simon, 4whom they compelled to carry His 5cross.

33 6And when they came to a place called 7Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull, 34 8they gave Him 9wine mixed with 10bile to drink; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink it.

35And when they had crucified Him, 11they divided His garments among themselves by casting 12lots. 36And sitting down, they began to 13keep watch over Him there. 37And above His head they put up the charge against Him 14which read, “15THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
