Matthew 27:29-43

29When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

30Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head.

31And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified.

32Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross.

33And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull,

34they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.

35Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: “They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.”

36Sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37And they put up over His head the accusation written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.

39And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads

40and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”

41Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the scribes and elders, said,

42“He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him.

43He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”
