Matthew:27:32-44
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And as they came out ,
they found a man of Cyrene ,
Simon by name :
him they compelled to bear his cross .
*
And when they had come to a place called Golgotha ,
that is to say ,
a place of a skull ,
*
They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall :
and when he had tasted ,
he would not drink .
*
And they crucified him ,
and parted his garments ,
casting lots :
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet ,
They parted my garments among them ,
and upon my vesture they cast lots .
*
And sitting down they watched him there ;
*
And set up over his head his accusation written ,
THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS .
*
Then were there two thieves crucified with him ,
one on the right hand ,
and another on the left .
*
And they that passed by reviled him ,
wagging their heads ,
*
And saying ,
Thou that destroyest the temple ,
and buildest in three days ,
save thyself .
If thou art the Son of God ,
come down from the cross .
*
Likewise also the chief priests mocking ,
with the scribes and elders ,
said ,
*
He saved others ;
himself he cannot save .
If he is King of Israel ,
let him now come down from the cross ,
and we will believe him .
*
He trusted in God ;
let him deliver him now ,
if he will have him :
for he said ,
I am the Son of God .
*
The thieves also ,
who were crucified with him ,
cast the same in his teeth .
