22 And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull). 23 And they ^xoffered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him and ^ydivided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. 25 And it was the third hour¹ when they crucified him. 26 And the inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.” 27 And ^zwith him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.² 29 And those who ^apassed by derided him, ^bwagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would ^cdestroy 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, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

The Death of Jesus

33 ^dAnd when the sixth hour³ had come, there was ^edarkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.⁴ 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus ^fcried with a loud voice, ^g“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 ^hsour wine, put it on a reed and ⁱgave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether ^jElijah will come to take him down.” 37 And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last. 38 And the ^kcurtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.

33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), 34 they ^yoffered him wine to drink, mixed with gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. 35 And when they had crucified him, they ^zdivided his garments among them by casting lots. 36 Then they sat down and kept watch over him there. 37 And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.” 38 Then two robbers were crucified ^awith him, ^bone on the right and one on the left. 39 And those who ^cpassed by derided him, ^dwagging their heads 40 and saying, “You who would ^edestroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 42 “He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43 ^fHe trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

The Death of Jesus

45 ^gNow from the sixth hour¹ there was ^hdarkness over all the land² until the ninth hour.³ 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus ⁱcried out with a loud voice, saying, ^j“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 ^ksour wine, and put it on a reed and ^lgave it to him to drink. 49 But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether ^mElijah will come to save him.” 50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.

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

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