Mark:15:21-32
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Simon a Cyrenian ,
a passer-by ,
who was coming from the country (
the father of Alexander and Rufus ),
they commandeered to carry the cross of Jesus .
*
So they led him to the place called Golgotha -
a name which means "
the place of a skull ."
*
There they attempted to give him wine mingled with myrrh ;
but he refused it .
Then they crucified him ,
and divided his garments among them ,
casting lots upon them to see what each should take .
*
It was nine oclock in the morning when they crucified him .
*
Over his head there was written the words of the charge against him . "
The King of the Jews "
*
Now with him they crucified two robbers ,
one on his right hand and one on his left .
*
And the passers-by kept jeering at him ,
wagging their heads and saying . "
Ah !
you who were to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days ,
save yourself !
*
Come down from the cross !
*
In the same way the high priests also ,
as well as the Scribes ,
kept on mocking him to themselves . "
He saved others ,"
they said , "
but himself he cannot save .
*
The Christ !
The King of Israel !
Let him now come down from the cross ,
that we may see and believe ."
They also who had been crucified with Jesus kept reviling him .
