Matthew 27:34–46

^34athey gave Him ^bwine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He did not want to drink.

³⁵And when they had crucified Him, ^athey divided up His garments among themselves by casting ¹lots.

³⁶And sitting down, they began to ^akeep watch over Him there.

³⁷And above His head they put up the charge against Him ¹which read, “^aTHIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁸At that time two robbers ^*were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left.

³⁹And those passing by were blaspheming Him, ^ashaking their heads

⁴⁰and saying, “^aYou who are going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! ^bIf You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”

⁴¹In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying,

⁴²“^aHe saved others; ¹He cannot save Himself. ^bHe is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

⁴³“^aHe trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He ¹delights in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

^44aAnd the robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.

^45aNow from the ¹sixth hour darkness ²fell upon all the land until the ³ninth hour.

⁴⁶And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “^aEli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
