22 ^eAnd they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull). 23 And they offered him wine mixed with ^fmyrrh, but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him and ^gdivided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. 25 And ^hit was the third hour¹ when they crucified him. 26 And the inscription of the charge against him read, ⁱ“The King of the Jews.” 27 And with him they crucified two ^jrobbers, ^kone on his right and one on his left.² 29 And ^lthose who passed by derided him, ^mwagging their heads and saying, ⁿ“Aha! ^oYou who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!” 31 So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, ^p“He saved others; ^qhe cannot save himself. 32 Let ^rthe Christ, ^sthe King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may ^tsee and believe.” ^uThose who were crucified with him also reviled him.

The Death of Jesus

33 And when the sixth hour³ had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.⁴ 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus ^vcried with a loud voice, ^w“Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 35 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.” 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with ^xsour wine, put it on a reed ^yand gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.” 37 And Jesus ^zuttered a loud cry and ^abreathed his last. 38 And ^bthe curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.

33 ^qAnd when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), 34 ^rthey offered him wine to drink, mixed with ^sgall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. 35 And when they had crucified him, ^tthey divided his garments among them by casting lots. 36 Then they sat down and ^ukept watch over him there. 37 And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, ^vthe King of the Jews.” 38 Then two ^wrobbers were crucified with him, ^xone on the right and one on the left. 39 And ^ythose who passed by ^zderided him, ^awagging their heads 40 and saying, ^b“You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! ^cIf you are ^dthe Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 42 ^e“He saved others; ^fhe cannot save himself. ^gHe is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43 ^hHe trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 ⁱAnd the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

The Death of Jesus

45 Now from the sixth hour¹ there was darkness over all the land² until the ninth hour.³ 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus ^jcried out with a loud voice, saying, ^k“Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 47 And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.” 48 And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with ^lsour wine, and put it on a reed and ^mgave it to him to drink. 49 But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.” 50 And Jesus ⁿcried out again with a loud voice and ^oyielded up his spirit.

51 And behold, ^pthe curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And ^qthe earth shook, and the rocks were split.

32 ^pTwo others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him.
