Mark 15:16–32

¹⁶And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace: and they called together the whole band.

¹⁷And they clothed him with purple: and, platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon him.

¹⁸And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews.

¹⁹And they struck his head with a reed: and they did spit on him. And bowing their knees, they adored him.

²⁰And after they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him and put his own garments on him: and they led him out to crucify him.

²¹And they forced one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and of Rufus, to take up his cross.

²²And they bring him into the place called Golgotha, which being interpreted is, The place of Calvary.

²³And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh. But he took it not.

²⁴And crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

²⁵And it was the third hour: and they crucified him.

²⁶And the inscription of his cause was written over: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁷And with him they crucify two thieves: the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

²⁸And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: And with the wicked he was reputed.

²⁹And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God and in three days buildest it up again:

³⁰Save thyself, coming down from the cross.

³¹In like manner also the chief priests, mocking, said with the scribes one to another: He saved others; himself he cannot save.

³²Let Christ the king of Israel come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him, reviled him.
