and they
knelt before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
[27:30]And they spit on him, and took the reed and beat him on his
head. [27:31]And when they had mocked him, they took the cloak off from
him, and put on him his own clothes, and led him away to crucify him.
2 [27:32]And going out, they found a Cyrenian by the name of Simon,
whom they compelled to bear his cross. [27:33]And coming to a place
called Golgotha, which is called A place of a cranium, [27:34]they gave
him vinegar to drink mixed with gall; and when he had tasted of it he
would not drink.
3 [27:35]And having crucified him, they parted his garments, casting
lots, [27:36]and sat down and watched him there. [27:37]And they put
over his head his accusation, written; THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE
JEWS. [27:38]Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right
hand, and the other on the left.
4 [27:39]And those who went by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,
[27:40]and saying, You that destroy the temple and build it in three
days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from the

[27:44]The robbers also that were crucified with him did the same, and
reproached him. [27:45]And from the sixth hour there was darkness on
all the land till the ninth hour; [27:46]and at about the ninth hour
Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that
is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [27:47]And some of those
standing there hearing him, said, He calls for Elijah. [27:48]And one
of them ran immediately to him, and took a sponge, and filled it with
vinegar, and putting it on a reed gave it to him to drink. [27:49]But
the rest said, Let him alone; let us see if Elijah will come and save
him. [27:50]And Jesus crying again with a loud voice, gave up the
spirit.

to bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks rent, [27:52]and the
