21. And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming
out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to
bear his cross.
22. And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being
interpreted, The place of a skull.
23. And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he
received it not.
24. And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments,
casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
25. And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26. And the superscription of his accusation was written over,
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27. And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right
hand, and the other on his left.
28. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was
numbered with the transgressors.
29. And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,
and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and
buildest it in three days,
30. Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
31. Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among
themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he
cannot save.
32. Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross,
that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified
with him reviled him.
33. And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over
the whole land until the ninth hour.
34. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted,
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35. And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said,
Behold, he calleth Elias.
36. And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it
on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us
see whether Elias will come to take him down.
37. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to
the bottom.
39. And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw
that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly
this man was the Son of God.
40. There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was
Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of
Joses, and Salome;
41. (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and
ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up
with him unto Jerusalem.
