015:012 Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom
you call the King of the Jews?"
015:013 They cried out again, "Crucify him!"
015:014 Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?"
But they cried out exceedingly, "Crucify him!"
015:015 Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas
to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him,
to be crucified.
015:016 The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium;
and they called together the whole cohort.
015:017 They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns,
they put it on him.
015:018 They began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
015:019 They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing
their knees, did homage to him.
015:020 When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him,
and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.
015:021 They compelled one passing by, coming from the country,
Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go
with them, that he might bear his cross.
015:022 They brought him to the place called Golgotha, which is,
being interpreted, "The place of a skull."
015:023 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he
didn't take it.
015:024 Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them,
casting lots on them, what each should take.
015:025 It was the third hour,{9:00 A. M.} and they crucified him.
015:026 The superscription of his accusation was written over him,
"THE KING OF THE JEWS."
015:027 With him they crucified two robbers; one on his right hand,
and one on his left.
015:028 The Scripture was fulfilled, which says, "He was
numbered with transgressors."
015:029 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,
and saying, "Ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it
in three days,
015:030 save yourself, and come down from the cross!"
015:031 Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with
the scribes said, "He saved others. He can't save himself.
015:032 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from
the cross, that we may see and believe him.{TR omits "him"}"
Those who were crucified with him insulted him.
015:033 When the sixth hour{or, noon} had come, there was darkness
over the whole land until the ninth hour.{3:00 PM}
015:034 At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi,
lama sabachthani?" which is, being interpreted, "My God,
my God, why have you forsaken me?"{Psalm 22:1}
015:035 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "Behold,
he is calling Elijah."
015:036 One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on
a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be.
Let's see whether Elijah comes to take him down."
