^{27 Ref} Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered unto him the whole band.

^{28 Ref} And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

^{29 Ref} And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

^{30 Ref} And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head.

^{31 Ref} And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him.

^{32 Ref} And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to go `with them', that he might bear his cross.

^{33 Ref} And they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull,

^{34 Ref} they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink.

^{35 Ref} And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots;

^{36 Ref} and they sat and watched him there.

^{37 Ref} And they set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

^{38 Ref} Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

^{39 Ref} And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,

^{40 Ref} and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.

^{41 Ref} In like manner also the chief priests mocking `him', with the scribes and elders, said,

^{42 Ref} He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him.

^{43 Ref} He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

^{44 Ref} And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.

^{45 Ref} Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

^{46 Ref} And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

^{47 Ref} And some of them stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah.

^{48 Ref} And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

⁴⁹ And the rest said, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him.

^{50 Ref} And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
