Matthew 27:32-50

32 1As they were coming out, they found a man of 2Cyrene named Simon, 3whom they compelled to carry His 4cross.

33 5And when they came to a place called 6Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull, 34 7they gave Him 8wine mixed with 9bile to drink; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink it.

35And when they had crucified Him, 10they divided His garments among themselves by casting 11lots. 36And sitting down, they began to 12keep watch over Him there. 37And above His head they put up the charge against Him 13which read, “14THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

38At that time two 15rebels were being crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left. 39And those passing by were 16speaking abusively to Him, 17shaking their heads, 40and saying, “18You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! 19If 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“20He saved others; 21He cannot save Himself! 22He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43 23He has trusted in God; let God rescue Him now, if He 24takes pleasure in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 25And the 26rebels who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him in the same way.

45 27Now from the 28sixth hour darkness 29fell upon all the land until the 30ninth hour. 46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “31Eli, Eli, lema sabaktanei?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 47And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling for Elijah.” 48And 32immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink. 49But the rest of them said, “33Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him34.” 50And Jesus 35cried out again with a loud voice, and gave up His spirit.
