Matthew 27:33–56

^33cAnd when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull, ^34dthey gave Him ⁹sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.

Jesus is Crucified

Mark 15:23–32; Luke 23:33–43; John 19:18–24

^35eThen they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, ¹that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet:

^f“They divided My garments among them,

And for My clothing they cast lots.”

^36gSitting down, they kept watch over Him there. ³⁷And they ^hput up over His head the accusation written against Him:

THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS

³⁸ⁱThen two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.

³⁹And ^jthose who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰and saying, ^k“You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! ^lIf You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”

⁴¹Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the ²scribes and elders, said, ⁴²“He ^msaved others; Himself He cannot save. ³If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe ⁴Him. ⁴³ⁿHe trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”

^44oEven the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.

Jesus Dies

Mark 15:33–37; Luke 23:44–46; John 19:28–30

^45pNow from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. ⁴⁶And about the ninth hour ^qJesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, ^r“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

⁴⁷Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, “This Man is calling for Elijah!” ⁴⁸Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, ^sfilled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink.

⁴⁹The rest said, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him.”

⁵⁰And Jesus ^tcried out again with a loud voice, and ^uyielded up His spirit.

Signs Accompanying Jesus’ Death

Mark 15:38–41; Luke 23:45, 47–49

⁵¹Then, behold, ^vthe veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, ⁵²and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; ⁵³and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

^54wSo when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, ^x“Truly this was the Son of God!”

⁵⁵And many women ^ywho followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar, ^56zamong whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and ⁵Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
