* As they went out of the city , they met one Simon , a Cyrenian , whom they constrained to carry the cross ; * and being arrived at a place called Golgotha , which signifies a Place of Skulls , * they gave him to drink , vinegar mixed with wormwood , which , having tasted , he would not drink . * After they had nailed him to the cross , they parted his garments by lot . * And having sat down there , they guarded him . * And over his head they placed this inscription , denoting the cause of his death : THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS . * Two robbers also were crucified with him , one at his right hand , and the other at his left . * Meanwhile the passengers reviled him , shaking their heads , * and saying , You who could demolish the temple , and rebuild it in three days ; if you be God 's Son , come down from the cross . * The chief priests also , with the scribes and elders , deriding him , said , * He saved others : can he not save himself ? If he be King of Israel , let him now descend from the cross , and we will believe him . * He trusted in God . Let God deliver him now , if he regard him ; for he called himself God 's Son . * The robbers too , his fellow-sufferers , upbraided him in the same manner .
