Mark 15:25-37
25 Now it was the athird hour, and they crucified Him. 26 And the inscription of the charge against Him read, “aTHE KING OF THE JEWS.”
27 And they *crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left. 28 [And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with transgressors.”] 29 And those passing by were blaspheming Him, ashaking their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who are going to bdestroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, 30 save Yourself by coming down from the cross!” 31 In the same way, mocking Him to one another, the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were saying, “aHe saved others; He cannot save Himself. 32 Let this Christ, athe King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” bThose who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.
33 aAnd when the bsixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the bninth hour. 34 And at the aninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “bEloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 35 And when some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, “Look, He is calling for Elijah.” 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, “Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down.” 37 aAnd Jesus, uttering a loud cry, breathed His last.
Luke 23:33-46
The Crucifixion
33 aAnd when they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. 34 But Jesus was saying, “aFather, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” bAnd they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves. 35 And the people stood by, looking on. And even the arulers were scoffing at Him, saying, “He saved others; blet Him save Himself if this is the Christ of God, His Chosen One.” 36 And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming up to Him, aoffering Him sour wine, 37 and saying, “aIf You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!” 38 Now there was also an inscription above Him, “aTHIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
39 aAnd one of the criminals hanging there was blaspheming Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? bSave Yourself and us!” 40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for what we have done; but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!” 43 And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in aParadise.”
44 aAnd it was now about bthe sixth hour, and darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour, 45 because the sun was obscured. And athe veil of the sanctuary was torn in two. 46 And Jesus, acrying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, binto Your hands I commit My spirit.” Having said this, He breathed His last.
John 19:18-30
18 There they crucified Him, and with Him atwo other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between. 19 And Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, “aJESUS THE NAZARENE, bTHE KING OF THE JEWS.” 20 Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written ain Hebrew, Latin, and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘aThe King of the Jews;’ but that He said, ‘I am aKing of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, “aWhat I have written I have written.”
23 Then athe soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made bfour parts, a part to each soldier and also His tunic; now that tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top. 24 So they said to one another, “aLet us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be;” bthis was in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “They cdivided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.” 25 Therefore the soldiers did these things.
aBut standing by the cross of Jesus were bHis mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and cMary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus then saw His mother, and athe disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He *said to His mother, “bWoman, behold, your son!” 27 Then He *said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her into ahis home.
Scripture Fulfilled—It Is Finished
28 After this, Jesus, aknowing that all things had already been finished, bin order to finish the Scripture, *said, “cI am thirsty.” 29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so athey put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. 30 Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “aIt is finished!” And bowing His head, He bgave up His spirit.
