Matthew 27:27-44

Matthew 27:27-44

27
Then the soldiers of the governor, taking Jesus into the hall, gathered together unto him the whole band.
28
And stripping him, they put a scarlet cloak about him.
29
And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, King of the Jews.
30
And spitting upon him, they took the reed and struck his head.
31
And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him and put on him his own garments and led him away to crucify him.
32
And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they forced to take up his cross.
33
And they came to the place that is called Golgotha, which is the place of Calvary.
34
And they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And when he had tasted, he would not drink.
35
And after they had crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: They divided my garments among them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.
36
And they sat and watched him.
37
And they put over his head his cause written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38
Then were crucified with him two thieves: one on the right hand and one on the left.
39
And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,
40
And saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God and in three days dost rebuild it: save thy own self. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41
In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and ancients, mocking said:
42
He saved others: himself he cannot save. If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross: and we will believe him.
43
He trusted in God: let him now deliver him if he will have him. For he said: I am the Son of God.
44
And the selfsame thing the thieves also that were crucified with him reproached him with.
