knees payed him homage. (20)And when they had treated him
with mockery, they took off the purple robe from him, and clothed him
with his own garments, and led him out to crucify him. (21)And they
compel one Simon, a Cyrenian, who was passing by, coming out of the
field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.

(22)And they convey him to a place called Golgotha, which is being
interpreted, The place of a skull. (23)And they gave him to drink wine
medicated with myrrh: but he received it not. (24)And having crucified
him, they divided his garments, casting the lot upon them, what each
should take. (25)Now it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
(26)And there was an inscription of his crime written over him, THE
KING OF THE JEWS. (27)And with him they crucified two robbers, one on
his right hand, and the other on his left. (28)And the scripture was
fulfilled, which saith, "And he was reckoned among the transgressors."
(29)And they who passed along, blasphemed him, shaking their heads, and
saying, Aha! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three
days, (30)save thyself, and come down from the cross. (31)And in the

loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani? which is, being
interpreted, My God, my God, for what cause hast thou abandoned me?
(35)And some of those who stood by, hearing him, said, Behold, he
crieth for Elias. (36)Then one ran, and filling a sponge with vinegar,
fixed it round a cane, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us
see if Elias comes to take him down. (37)Then Jesus, uttering a loud
cry, gave up the ghost.

(38)And the vail of the temple was rent in two from the top to the
bottom. (39)And the centurion, who stood opposite to him, observing,
that with such a cry he gave up the ghost, said, Assuredly this was the
Son of God.

(40)Now there were also women looking on at a distance; among whom also
was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the small, and the
mother of Joses, and Salome. (41)These women followed him when he was
