JESUS IS CRUCIFIED

MATTHEW 27: 26-36

26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: 

and when he had scourged Jesus, he 

delivered him to be crucified.

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took 

Jesus into the common hall, and gathered 

unto him the whole band of soldiers.

28 And they stripped Him, and put on him 

a scarlet robe.

29 And when they had platted a crown of 

thorns, they put it upon his head, and a 

reed in his right hand: and they bowed the

knee before him, and mocked him, saying, 

Hail, King of the Jews!

30 And they spit upon him, and took the 

reed, and smote him on the head.

31 And after that they had mocked him, 

they took the robe off from him, and put 

his own raiment on him, and led him away 

to crucify him.

32 And as they came out, they found a 

man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they 

compelled to bear his cross.

33 And when they were come unto a place

 called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

34 They gave him vinegar to drink 

mingled with gall: and when he had tasted 

thereof, he would not drink.

35 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 did they cast lots.

36 And sitting down they watched him 

there.

45 Now from the sixth hour there was 

darkness over all the land unto the ninth 

hour.

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried 

with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama 

sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my 

God, why hast thou forsaken me?

47 Some of them that stood there, when 

they heard that, said, This man calleth for 

Elias.

48 And straightway one of them ran, and 

took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar,

and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

49 The rest said, Let be, let us see 

whether Elias will come to save him.

50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a 

loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

JOHN 19: 32-34

33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 

34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.
