Mark 15:16–32

¹⁶And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. ¹⁷And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on him; ¹⁸and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! ¹⁹And they smote his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. ²⁰And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him.

²¹And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.

²²And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. ²³And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. ²⁴And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take. ²⁵And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. ²⁶And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁷And with him they crucify two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left. ²⁸And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was reckoned with transgressors. ²⁹And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, ³⁰save thyself, and come down from the cross. ³¹In like manner also the chief priests mocking him among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. ³²Let 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.
