²²And they brought him to the place Golgotha (which is translated “Place of a Skull”). ²³And they attempted to give^* him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. ²⁴And they crucified him and divided his clothes among themselves^* by^* casting lots for them to see who should take what. ²⁵Now it was the third hour when they crucified him. ²⁶And the inscription of the charge against him was written, “The king of the Jews.” ²⁷And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.ⁱ ²⁹And those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! The one who would destroy the temple and rebuild it^* in three days, ³⁰save yourself by^* coming down from the cross!” ³¹In the same way also the chief priests, along with the scribes, were mocking him^* to one another, saying, “He saved others; he is not able to save himself! ³²Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” Even those who were crucified with him were reviling him.

Jesus Dies on the Cross

³³And when^* the sixth hour came, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. ³⁴And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which is translated, “My God, my God, why^j have you forsaken me?”)^k ³⁵And some of the bystanders, when they^* heard it,^* said, “Behold, he is summoning Elijah!” ³⁶And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it^* on a reed, and^* gave it^* to him to drink, saying, “Leave him^* alone! Let us see if Elijah is coming to take him down.” ³⁷But Jesus uttered a loud cry and^* expired. ³⁸And the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
