Matthew 27:31-50

MKJV(i) 31 And after they had mocked Him, they took the robe off of Him and put His own clothing on Him and led Him away to crucify Him. 32 And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. They forced this one to carry His cross. 33 And coming to a place called Golgotha, which is called, Place of a Skull, 34 they gave Him vinegar mixed with gall to drink. And when He had tasted, He would not drink. 35 And they crucified Him, dividing His garments, casting a lot; so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, "They parted My garments among them, and they cast a lot for My clothing." 36 And sitting down they guarded Him there. 37 And they put up over His head His accusation, written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38 Then two thieves were crucified with Him, one off the right, one off the left. 39 And those who passed by blasphemed Him, shaking their heads, 40 and saying, You destroying the temple and building it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41 And in the same way also the chief priests mocked, with the scribes and elders, saying, 42 He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43 He trusted in God, let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him. (For He said, I am the Son of God.) 44 And also the thieves who were crucified with Him reviled Him, saying the same. 45 And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is, My God, My God, why have You forsaken me? 47 Some of those who stood there, when they heard, said, This one calls for Elijah. 48 And immediately one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it with vinegar, and he put it on a reed and gave it to Him to drink. 49 The rest said, Let Him alone, let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him. 50 And crying again with a loud voice, Jesus released His spirit.
