Matthew 27:27-50

Noyes(i) 27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governors palace, and gathered to him the whole band. 28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29 And having platted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, king of the Jews! 30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head. 31 And after they had made sport of him, they took off the robe from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him. 32 And as they were going out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, whom they compelled to carry his cross. 33 And having come to a place called Golgotha, that is, Place of a Skull, 34 they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall; and when he had tasted it, he refused to drink. 35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them, casting lots. 36 And sitting down, they watched him there. 37 And they set up over his head the charge against him in writing: "This is Jesus the king of the Jews." 38 Then are crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left. 39 And they who passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 40 and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it up in three days, save thyself, if thou art the Son of God, and come down from the cross. 41 So also the chief priests, mocking, with the scribes and elders, said, 42 He saved others, cannot he save himself? He is the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43 He trusteth in God; let him now deliver him, if he desireth him; for he said, I am the Son of God. 44 The robbers also, who were crucified with him, reviled him in the same manner. 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, lema sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47 Some of those standing there, when they heard this, said, This man is calling for Elijah. 48 And one of them immediately ran and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink. 49 But the rest said, Hold! let us see whether Elijah will come to save him. 50 And Jesus, crying out again with a loud voice, yielded up his spirit.
