27 Then the palace guard took Jesus into the open square and gathered their squad together.
28 They took off his clothes and dressed him in a scarlet robe.
29 They made a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They placed a rod in his right hand. Then they bowed down on their knees before him. They mocked him, saying: »Long life to the King of the Jews.«
30 They spat on him and hit him on the head with the rod.
31 After they mocked him, they took off the robe. He was dressed in his garments and he was led away to be impaled.
32 They then found Simon, a man from Cyrene. They forced him to go with them to carry the stake.
33 Golgotha, the Place of the Skull, was to be his final destination.
34 They gave him vinegar (bitter wine) to drink mixed with poison (a drug) (gall). When he tasted it he would not drink. (Psalm 69:21)
35 When they impaled him, they divided his garments among themselves by casting lots.
36 Then they sat and watched him.
37 A sign was placed above his head with an accusation written: »This is Jesus the King of the Jews.«
38 Two robbers were impaled with him. One was on the right hand and one on the left.
39 People passing by spoke evil abuse to him. They wagged their heads
40 and said, »You who would destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God come down from the stake.«
41 In like manner the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked him.
42 They said: »He saved others, but cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the stake and we will believe in him.«
43 He trusts in God. Let him save him now if he wants him. After all he said: »I am the Son of God.«
44 The robbers that were impaled with him also insulted him.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, »Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?« Which (translated) means: »My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?«
47 After hearing it some said this man calls Elijah.
48 Suddenly, one of them ran, took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink.
49 The rest said: »Let it be, and see whether Elijah comes to save him.«
50 Jesus cried again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.
