27:32 As 16 they were going out, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced 17 to carry his cross. 18 27:33 They 19 came to a place called Golgotha 20 (which means “Place of the Skull”) 21 27:34 and offered Jesus 22 wine mixed with gall to drink. 23 But after tasting it, he would not drink it. 27:35 When 24 they had crucified 25 him, they divided his clothes by throwing dice. 26 27:36 Then they sat down and kept guard over him there. 27:37 Above 27 his head they put the charge against him, 28 which read: 29 “This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.” 27:38 Then two outlaws were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. 27:39 Those 30 who passed by defamed him, shaking their heads 27:40 and saying, “You who can destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! 31 If you are God’s Son, come down 32 from the cross!” 27:41 In 33 the same way even the chief priests – together with the experts in the law 34 and elders 35 – were mocking him: 36 27:42 “He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the king of Israel! If he comes down 37 now from the cross, we will believe in him! 27:43 He trusts in God – let God, if he wants to, deliver him now 38 because he said, ‘I am God’s Son’!” 27:44 The 39 robbers who were crucified with him also spoke abusively to him. 40
27:45 Now from noon until three, 41 darkness came over all the land. 42
