Matthew 27:32-44
New American Standard Bible
32 (A)As they were coming out, they found a man of (B)Cyrene named Simon, [a]whom they compelled to carry His [b]cross.
The Crucifixion
33 (C)And when they came to a place called (D)Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull, 34 (E)they gave Him (F)wine mixed with [c]bile to drink; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink it.
35 And when they had crucified Him, (G)they divided His garments among themselves by casting [d]lots. 36 And sitting down, they began to (H)keep watch over Him there. 37 And above His head they put up the charge against Him [e]which read, “(I)THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38 At that time two [f]rebels *were being crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left. 39 And those passing by were [g]speaking abusively to Him, (J)shaking their heads, 40 and saying, “(K)You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! (L)If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying, 42 “(M)He saved others; [h]He cannot save Himself! (N)He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43 (O)He has trusted in God; let God rescue Him now, if He [i]takes pleasure in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 (P)And the [j]rebels who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him in the same way.
