Jesus Is Mocked

27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s residence and* gathered the whole cohort to him. 28And they stripped him and* put a scarlet military cloak around him, 29and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it* on his head, and putj a reed in his right hand. And kneeling down before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” 30And they spat on him and* took the reed and repeatedly struckk him* on his head. 31And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the military cloak and put his own clothes on him, and led him away in order to crucify him.*

Jesus Is Crucified

32And as they* were going out, they found a man of Cyrene namedl Simon. They forced this man to carry his cross. 33And when they* came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull),m 34they gave him wine mixed with gall to drink, and when he* tasted it* he did not want to drink it.* 35And when they* had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves* by* casting lots. 36And they sat down and* were watching over him there. 37And they put above his head the charge against him in writing:n “This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.” 38Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. 39And those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads 40and saying, “The one who would destroy the temple and rebuild it* in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!” 41In the same way also the chief priests, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking him,* saying, 42“He saved others; he is not able to save himself! He is the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him! 43He trusts in God; let him deliver him now if he wants to,o because he said, ‘I am the Son of God’!” 44And in the same way even the robbers who were crucified with him were reviling him.
