Matthew 27:31-37

31When they were finally tired of mocking him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified.

32Along the way, they came across a man named Simon, who was from Cyrene, and the soldiers forced him to carry Jesus’ cross.

33And they went out to a place called Golgotha (which means “Place of the Skull”).

34The soldiers gave Jesus wine mixed with bitter gall, but when he had tasted it, he refused to drink it.

35After they had nailed him to the cross, the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice.

36Then they sat around and kept guard as he hung there.

37A sign was fastened above Jesus’ head, announcing the charge against him. It read: “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.”
