Matthew 27:32-50

32 ^aAnd as they were coming out, they found a man of ^bCyrene named Simon, ¹whom they pressed into service to bear His cross.

The Crucifixion

33 ^aAnd when they came to a place called ^bGolgotha, which means Place of a Skull, 34 ^athey gave Him ^bwine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He did not want to drink.
35 And when they had crucified Him, ^athey divided up His garments among themselves by casting ¹lots. 36 And sitting down, they began to ^akeep watch over Him there. 37 And above His head they put up the charge against Him ¹which read, “^aTHIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38 At that time two robbers *were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left. 39 And those passing by were blaspheming Him, ^ashaking their heads 40 and saying, “^aYou who are going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! ^bIf You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying, 42 “^aHe saved others; ¹He cannot save Himself. ^bHe is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43 ^aHe trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He ¹delights in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 ^aAnd the robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.
45 ^aNow from the ¹sixth hour darkness ²fell upon all the land until the ³ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “^aEli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 47 And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, “This man is calling for Elijah.” 48 ^aAnd immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink. 49 But the rest of them were saying, “¹Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him².” 50 And Jesus ^acried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

Luke 23:26-46

Simon Carries the Cross

26 ^aAnd when they led Him away, they took hold of a man, Simon of ^bCyrene, coming in from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus.
27 And following Him was a large multitude of the people, and of women who were ¹^amourning and lamenting Him. 28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, stop crying for Me, but cry for yourselves and for your children. 29 For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘^aBlessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’ 30 Then they will begin to ^asay to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ 31 For if they do these things ¹when the tree is green, what will happen ²when it is dry?”
32 ^aNow two others also, who were criminals, were being led away to be put to death with Him.

The Crucifixion

33 ^aAnd when they came to the place called ¹The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. 34 ¹But 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 ¹Christ 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 ¹Christ? ^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 ¹what 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 ¹in 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 ¹^bthe sixth hour, and darkness ²fell over the whole land until ³the ninth hour, 45 ¹because the sun was obscured. And ^athe veil of the ²sanctuary was torn ³in 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 19:17-30

17 ^aThey took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, ¹^bbearing His own cross, to the place called ^cthe Place of a Skull, which is called ^din ²Hebrew, Golgotha. 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 ¹Hebrew, 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 ¹tunic; 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 ¹lots.” 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 ¹to 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.
