As they led him away ,
they laid hold of one Simon ,
a Cyrenian ,
coming from the country ,
and laid the cross on him ,
that he might bear it after Jesus .
*
And a great multitude followed him ,
amongst whom were many women ,
who lamented and bewailed him .
*
But Jesus ,
turning to them ,
said ,

And two malefactors were also led with him to execution .
*
When they came to the place called Calvary ,
they there nailed him to a cross ,
and the malefactors also ;
one at his right hand ,
the other at his left .
*
And Jesus said ,
And they parted his garments by lot .
*
While the people stood gazing ,
even their rulers joined them in ridiculing him ,
and saying ,
This man saved others ;
let him save himself ,
if he be the Messiah ,
the elect of God .
*
The soldiers likewise mocked him ,
coming and offering him vinegar ,
*
and saying ,
If you be the King of the Jews ,
save yourself .
*
There was also an inscription over his head in Greek ,
Latin ,
and Hebrew ,
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS .
*
Now ,
one of the malefactors who suffered with him ,
reviled him ,
saying ,
If you be the Messiah ,
save yourself and us .
*
The other ,
rebuking him ,
answered ,
Have you no fear of God ,
you who are undergoing the same punishment ?
*
And we ,
indeed ,
justly ;
for we receive the due reward of our deeds :
but this man has done nothing amiss .
*
And he said to Jesus ,
Remember me ,
Lord ,
when thou comest to thy kingdom .
*
Jesus answered ,
