21

22

And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

23

24

And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take.

25

26

27

And with him they crucify two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.

29

And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

30

save thyself, and come down from the cross.

31

In like manner also the chief priests mocking him among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

32

Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.
