^33 (A)And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), ^34 (B)they offered him wine to drink, mixed with ^(C)gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. ³⁵ And when they had crucified him, ^(D)they divided his garments among them by casting lots. ³⁶ Then they sat down and ^(E)kept watch over him there. ³⁷ And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, ^(F)the King of the Jews.” ³⁸ Then two ^(G)robbers were crucified with him, ^(H)one on the right and one on the left. ³⁹ And ^(I)those who passed by ^(J)derided him, ^(K)wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, ^(L)“You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! ^(M)If you are ^(N)the Son of God, come down from the cross.” ⁴¹ So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, ^42 (O)“He saved others; ^(P)he cannot save himself. ^(Q)He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. ^43 (R)He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” ^44 (S)And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

The Death of Jesus

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour^[a] there was darkness over all the land^[b] until the ninth hour.^{[c] 46} And about the ninth hour Jesus ^(T)cried out with a loud voice, saying, ^(U)“Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” ⁴⁷ And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.” ⁴⁸ And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with ^(V)sour wine, and put it on a reed and ^(W)gave it to him to drink. ⁴⁹ But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.” ⁵⁰ And Jesus ^(X)cried out again with a loud voice and ^(Y)yielded up his spirit.

⁵¹ And behold, ^(Z)the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And ^(AA)the earth shook, and the rocks were split.

^32 (A)Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. ^33 (B)And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, ^(C)one on his right and one on his left. ³⁴ And Jesus said, “Father, ^(D)forgive them, ^(E)for they know not what they do.”^[a] And they cast lots ^(F)to divide his garments. ³⁵ And ^(G)the people stood by, watching, ^(H)but ^(I)the rulers ^(J)scoffed at him, saying, ^(K)“He saved others; ^(L)let him save himself, ^(M)if he is ^(N)the Christ of God, ^(O)his Chosen One!” ³⁶ The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and ^(P)offering him sour wine ³⁷ and saying, ^(Q)“If you are ^(R)the King of the Jews, save yourself!” ^38 (S)There was also an inscription over him,^[b] “This is ^(T)the King of the Jews.”

The Death of Jesus

^44 (A)It was now about the sixth hour,^[a] and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,^{[b] 45} while the sun's light failed. And ^(B)the curtain of the temple was torn in two. ⁴⁶ Then Jesus, ^(C)calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, ^(D)into your hands I ^(E)commit my spirit!” And having said this ^(F)he breathed his last.

¹⁷ and ^(A)he went out, ^(B)bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. ^18 (C)There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. ¹⁹ Pilate ^(D)also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”

^23 (A)When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic.^[a] But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, ²⁴ so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” ^(B)This was to fulfill the Scripture which says,

So the soldiers did these things,

The Death of Jesus

²⁸ After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now ^(A)finished, said (^(B)to fulfill the Scripture), ^(C)“I thirst.” ²⁹ A jar full of sour wine stood there, ^(D)so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, ^(E)“It is finished,” and he bowed his head and ^(F)gave up his spirit.
