Matthew 27:34-40

34and offered Jesus wine mixed with gall to drink. But after tasting it, he would not drink it.

35When they had crucified him, they divided his clothes by throwing dice.

36Then they sat down and kept guard over him there.

37Above his head they put the charge against him, which read: “This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.”

38Then two outlaws were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.

39Those who passed by defamed him, shaking their heads

40and saying, “You who can destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are God’s Son, come down from the cross!”
