Matthew 27:33-44

331And when they came to a place called 2Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull, 343they gave Him 4wine mixed with 5bile to drink; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink it.

35And when they had crucified Him, 6they divided His garments among themselves by casting 7lots. 36And sitting down, they began to 8keep watch over Him there. 37And above His head they put up the charge against Him 9which read, “10THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

38At that time two 11rebels were being crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left. 39And those passing by were 12speaking abusively to Him, 13shaking their heads, 40and saying, “14You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! 15If 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“16He saved others; 17He cannot save Himself! 18He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 4319He has trusted in God; let God rescue Him now, if He 20takes pleasure in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 4421And the 22rebels who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him in the same way.
