32

And while they were coming out, they saw a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they made him go with them, so that he might take up his cross.

33

And when they came to the place named Golgotha, that is to say, Dead Man's Head,

34

They gave him wine mixed with bitter drink: and after tasting it, he took no more.

35

And when they had put him on the cross, they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

36

And they were seated there watching him.

37

And they put up over his head the statement of his crime in writing, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38

Then two thieves were put on crosses with him, one on the right and one on the left.

39

And those who went by said bitter words to him, shaking their heads and saying,

40

You who would give the Temple to destruction and put it up again in three days, get yourself free: if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

41

In the same way, the chief priests, making sport of him, with the scribes and those in authority, said,

42

A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him.

43

He put his faith in God let God be his saviour now, if he will have him for he said, I am the Son of God.

44

And the thieves who were on the crosses said evil words to him.
