The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 47: Matthew: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Matthew
27:29. And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a
reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him,
saying: Hail, King of the Jews.
27:30. And spitting upon him, they took the reed and struck his head.
27:31. And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him
and put on him his own garments and led him away to crucify him.
27:32. And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they
forced to take up his cross.
27:33. And they came to the place that is called Golgotha, which is the
place of Calvary.
27:34. And they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And when he
had tasted, he would not drink.
27:35. And after they had crucified him, they divided his garments,
casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophet, saying: They divided my garments among them; and upon my
vesture they cast lots.
27:36. And they sat and watched him.
27:37. And they put over his head his cause written: THIS IS JESUS THE
KING OF THE JEWS.
27:38. Then were crucified with him two thieves: one on the right hand
and one on the left.
27:39. And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,
27:40. And saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God and in
three days dost rebuild it: save thy own self. If thou be the Son of
God, come down from the cross.
27:41. In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and
ancients, mocking said:
27:42. He saved others: himself he cannot save. If he be the king of
Israel, let him now come down from the cross: and we will believe him.
27:43. He trusted in God: let him now deliver him if he will have him.
For he said: I am the Son of God.
27:44. And the selfsame thing the thieves also that were crucified with
him reproached him with.
27:45. Now from the sixth hour, there was darkness over the whole earth,
until the ninth hour.
27:46. And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying:
Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? That is, My God, My God, why hast thou
forsaken me?
27:47. And some that stood there and heard said: This man calleth Elias.
27:48. And immediately one of them running took a sponge and filled it
with vinegar and put it on a reed and gave him to drink.
27:49. And the others said: Let be. Let us see whether Elias will come
to deliver him.
27:50. And Jesus again crying with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
27:51. And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top
even to the bottom: and the earth quaked and the rocks were rent.
27:52. And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that
had slept arose,
27:53. And coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, came into the
holy city and appeared to many.
27:54. Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus,
having seen the earthquake and the things that were done, were sore
afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God.
