Matthew 27:33–56

³³And they came to the place that is called Golgotha, which is the place of Calvary.

³⁴And they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And when he had tasted, he would not drink.

³⁵And 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.

³⁶And they sat and watched him.

³⁷And they put over his head his cause written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁸Then were crucified with him two thieves: one on the right hand and one on the left.

³⁹And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰And 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.

⁴¹In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and ancients, mocking said:

⁴²He 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.

⁴³He trusted in God: let him now deliver him if he will have him. For he said: I am the Son of God.

⁴⁴And the selfsame thing the thieves also that were crucified with him reproached him with.

⁴⁵Now from the sixth hour, there was darkness over the whole earth, until the ninth hour.

⁴⁶And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? That is, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?

⁴⁷And some that stood there and heard said: This man calleth Elias.

⁴⁸And immediately one of them running took a sponge and filled it with vinegar and put it on a reed and gave him to drink.

⁴⁹And the others said: Let be. Let us see whether Elias will come to deliver him.

⁵⁰And Jesus again crying with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

⁵¹And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top even to the bottom: and the earth quaked and the rocks were rent.

⁵²And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose,

⁵³And coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, came into the holy city and appeared to many.

⁵⁴Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God.

⁵⁵And there were there many women afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

⁵⁶Among whom was Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of James and Joseph and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
