Matthew 27:29-43

29And after braiding a crown of thorns, they placed it on His head and put a staff in His right hand. And falling on their knees before Him, they mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

30They spat on Him, and they took the staff and beat Him over and over on the head.

31When they finished mocking Him, they stripped the robe off Him and put His own clothes back on Him. And they led Him away to crucify Him.

32As they came out, they found a man from Cyrene, Simon by name. They forced him into service, to carry Yeshua’s cross-beam.

33And when they came to a place called Golgotha (that is to say, Place of a Skull),

34they offered Him wine mixed with gall to drink; but after tasting, He was unwilling to drink it.

35And when they had crucified Him, they divided His clothing among themselves by casting lots.

36And they sat down and kept guard over Him there.

37Over His head they put the charge against Him, which read: “THIS IS YESHUA, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

38Then two outlaws were executed with Him, one on the right and one on the left.

39Those passing by were jeering at Him, shaking their heads

40and saying, “You who are going to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If you are Ben-Elohim, come down from the stake!”

41Likewise the ruling kohanim, along with the Torah scholars and elders, were also mocking Him.

42“He saved others,” they were saying, “but He can’t save Himself? He’s the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the stake, and we’ll believe in Him!

43He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am Ben-Elohim.’”
