Living_Oracles(i)
31 When they had mocked him, they disrobed him again, and having put his own raiment on him, led him away to crucify him.
32 As they went out of the city, they met one Simon, a Cyrenian, whom they constrained to carry the cross;
33 and being arrived at a place called Golgotha, which signifies a Place of Skulls,
34 they gave him to drink, vinegar mixed with wormwood, which, having tasted, he would not drink.
35 After they had nailed him to the cross, they parted his garments by lot.
36 And having sat down there, they guarded him.
37 And over his head they placed this inscription, denoting the cause of his death: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Two robbers also were crucified with him, one at his right hand, and the other at his left.
39 Meanwhile the passengers reviled him, shaking their heads,
40 and saying, You who could demolish the temple, and rebuild it in three days; if you be God's Son, come down from the cross.
41 The chief priests also, with the scribes and elders, deriding him, said,
42 He saved others: can he not save himself? If he be King of Israel, let him now descend from the cross, and we will believe him.
43 He trusted in God. Let God deliver him now, if he regard him; for he called himself God's Son.
44 The robbers too, his fellow-sufferers, upbraided him in the same manner.
45 Now from the sixth hour to the ninth, the whole land was in darkness.
46 About the ninth hour, Jesus cried aloud, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of the bystanders hearing this, said, He calls Elijah.
48 Instantly one of them ran, brought a sponge, and soaked it in vinegar, and having fastened it to a stick, presented it to him to drink.
49 The rest said, Forbear, we shall see whether Elijah will come to save him.
50 Jesus having again cried with a loud voice, resigned his spirit.
