²²They led Jesus to the place called Golgotha, which means the Place of the Skull. ²³The soldiers tried to give Jesus wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he refused. ²⁴The soldiers crucified Jesus and divided his clothes among themselves, throwing lots to decide what each soldier would get.

²⁵It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified Jesus. ²⁶There was a sign with this charge against Jesus written on it: the king of the jews. ²⁷They also put two robbers on crosses beside Jesus, one on the right, and the other on the left. ²⁸And the Scripture came true that says, “They put him with criminals.” ⁿ ²⁹People walked by and insulted Jesus and shook their heads, saying, “You said you could destroy the Temple and build it again in three days. ³⁰So save yourself! Come down from that cross!”

³¹The leading priests and the teachers of the law were also making fun of Jesus. They said to each other, “He saved other people, but he can’t save himself. ³²If he is really the Christ, the king of Israel, let him come down now from the cross. When we see this, we will believe in him.” The robbers who were being crucified beside Jesus also insulted him.
