(27)Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Pretorium, 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 smote him on the head. (31)And when they had mocked 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 came out they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to bear his cross. (33)And having come to a place called Golgotha (which is called, Place of a skull), (34)they gave him vinegar to drink[27:34], mingled with gall; and tasting it, he would not drink. (35)And having 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 his accusation, written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. (38)Two robbers are then crucified with him, one on the right hand, and one on the left. (39)And those passing by reviled him, wagging their heads, (40)and saying: Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. (41)Likewise also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said: (42)Others he saved, himself he can not save. If he is King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him. (43)He trusts in God; let him now deliver him, if he desires him; for he said I am the Son of God. (44)And also the robbers, who were crucified with him, reproached him with the same thing. (45)And from the sixth hour, there was darkness over all the land, unto the ninth hour. (46)And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani? That is: My God, my God, why didst thou forsake me? (47)Some of those standing there, hearing it, said: This man calls for Elijah[27:47]. (48)And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge, and having filled it with vinegar and put it on a reed, gave him to drink. (49)But the rest said: Let alone; let us see whether Elijah comes to save him. (50)And Jesus, again crying with a loud voice, yielded up his spirit. (51)And behold, the vail of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent; (52)and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep arose, (53)and coming out of the tombs, after his resurrection, went into the holy city, and appeared to many. (54)And the centurion, and they that with him were watching Jesus, on seeing the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying: Truly this was the Son of God.
