³³When they came to a place called Golgotha ^a(which means Skull Place), ³⁴they gave Him wine ^bmixed with gall to drink. But when He tasted it, He would not drink it. ³⁵After crucifying Him they divided His clothes by casting lots. ^c^d³⁶Then they sat down and were guarding Him there. ³⁷Above His head they put up the charge against Him in writing:

THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁸Then two criminals ^ewere crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left. ^f³⁹Those who passed by were yelling insults at ^gHim, shaking their heads ^h⁴⁰and saying, “The One who would demolish the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!” ⁱ⁴¹In the same way the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, ^jmocked Him and said, ⁴²“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! He is the King of Israel! ^kLet Him ^lcome down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him. ⁴³He has put His trust in God; let God rescue Him now—if He wants Him! ^mFor He said, ‘I am God’s Son.’ ” ⁴⁴In the same way even the criminals who were crucified with Him kept taunting Him. ⁿ
