(32)Now there were two other persons, malefactors, led out with him to be executed. (33)And when they came to a place called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, the one on the right hand, and the other on the left. (34)And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. Then dividing his garments, they cast the lot. (35)And the people stood looking on. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this fellow is the Messiah, the elect of God. (36)And the soldiers also insulted him, coming and offering him vinegar, (37)and saying, if thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself. (38)And there was an inscription written over him in Greek, Roman, and Hebrew characters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. (39)Then one of the suspended malefactors blasphemed him, saying, If thou art the Messiah, save thyself and us. (40)But the other addressing him, rebuked him, saying, Hast thou no fear of God, when thou art under the same condemnation? (41)And we indeed justly, for we receive deserved punishment for the crimes we have committed: but this man hath done nothing amiss. (42)And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou comest in thy kingdom. (43)And Jesus said to him. Verily I say unto thee, To-day thou shalt be with me in paradise. (44)And it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. (45)And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. (46)And Jesus crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit: and having said this, he expired. (47)And the centurion observing what had come to pass, glorified God, saying, Verily this man was a righteous person. (48)And all the multitudes who had come together for this spectacle, when they saw the things which were done, beating their breasts, returned. (49)And all his acquaintance stood afar off, and the women which followed him from Galilee, beholding these things. (50)And lo! a man named Joseph, being a member of the council, a good man, and a just; (51)(who had not given his assent to their determination and deed;) being of Arimathea, a city of the Jews: who himself also expected the coming of the kingdom of God. (52)He went in to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. (53)And taking it down from the cross, he wrapped it in linen cloth, and laid it in a sepulchre hewn out of a rock, where none had ever yet lain. (54)And that was the preparation-day, and the sabbath's twilight[22] was approaching. (55)Then the women also, his attendants, who had followed him out of Galilee, observed the sepulchre, and how his corpse was laid out. (56)And returning, they made preparation of aromatics and unguents; and they rested the sabbath-day, according to the commandment. CHAP. XXIV.
