Mark 15:16–32

^16mThen the soldiers led Him away into the hall called ³Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison. ¹⁷And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head, ¹⁸and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” ¹⁹Then they ⁿstruck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him. ²⁰And when they had ^omocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

^21pThen they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross. ^22qAnd they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. ^23rThen they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it.

Jesus is Crucified

Matt. 27:35–56; Luke 23:33–49; John 19:18, 23–30

²⁴And when they crucified Him, ^sthey divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.

²⁵Now ^tit was the third hour, and they crucified Him. ²⁶And ^uthe inscription of His ⁴accusation was written above:

THE KING OF THE JEWS

^27vWith Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left. ²⁸⁵So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, ^w“And He was numbered with the transgressors.”

²⁹And ^xthose who passed by blasphemed Him, ^ywagging their heads and saying, “Aha! ^zYou who destroy the temple and build it in three days, ³⁰save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”

³¹Likewise the chief priests also, ^amocking among themselves with the scribes, said, “He saved ^bothers; Himself He cannot save. ³²Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and ⁶believe.”

Even ^cthose who were crucified with Him reviled Him.
