rkjnt - Matthew:27:32-66

rkjnt@Matthew:27:32 @ And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: they compelled him to bear his cross.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:33 @ And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, place of a skull,

rkjnt@Matthew:27:34 @ They gave him wine to drink mixed with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:35 @ And they crucified him, and divided his garments among them by casting lots.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:36 @ And sitting down they watched him there;

rkjnt@Matthew:27:37 @ And set up over his head the accusation against him, which read, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:38 @ At that time there were two robbers crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:39 @ And those who passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

rkjnt@Matthew:27:40 @ Saying, You who would destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:41 @ Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying,

rkjnt@Matthew:27:42 @ He saved others; he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:43 @ He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:44 @ The robbers also, who were crucified with him, cast the same insult at him.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:45 @ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:46 @ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

rkjnt@Matthew:27:47 @ Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calls for Elijah.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:48 @ And immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:49 @ The rest said, Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:50 @ Jesus, when he had cried out again with a loud voice, yielded up the spirit.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:51 @ And, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split;

rkjnt@Matthew:27:52 @ And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who slept arose,

rkjnt@Matthew:27:53 @ And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared to many.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:54 @ Now when the centurion, and those who were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:55 @ And many women were there, beholding from afar. They had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:56 @ Among them was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:57 @ When evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who had himself also become a disciple of Jesus.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:58 @ He went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it be delivered to him.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:59 @ And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

rkjnt@Matthew:27:60 @ And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone over the door of the tomb, and departed.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:61 @ And Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, were there, sitting opposite the tomb.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:62 @ Now the next day, which followed the day of preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together before Pilate,

rkjnt@Matthew:27:63 @ Saying, Sir, we remember that while he was yet alive that deceiver said, After three days I will rise again.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:64 @ Therefore, command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say to the people, He has risen from the dead: so the last deception shall be worse than the first.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:65 @ Pilate said to them, You have a guard: go your way; make it as secure as you can.

rkjnt@Matthew:27:66 @ So they went, and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and posting a guard.
