Jesus Is Mocked
27 Then the soldiers of the
governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman [m]cohort
around Him. 28 They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him. 29 And after
twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a [n]reed in
His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail,
King of the Jews!” 30 They spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him
on the head. 31 After they had mocked Him, they took the scarlet robe off Him
and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
32 As they were coming out,
they found a man of Cyrene named Simon, [o]whom they pressed into service to
bear His cross.
The Crucifixion
33 And when they came to a
place called Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull, 34 they gave Him wine to
drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink.

5 And when they had crucified
Him, they divided up His garments among themselves by casting [p]lots. 36 And
sitting down, they began to keep watch over Him there. 37 And above His head
they put up the charge against Him [q]which read, “THIS 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 [r]hurling abuse at Him, wagging their heads 40 and saying,
“You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save
Yourself! If 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 “He saved
others; [s]He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel; let Him now come
down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43 He trusts in God; let God
rescue Him now, if He [t]delights in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
44 The robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the
same words.
45 Jesus Is Buried
57 When it was evening, there
came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a
disciple of Jesus. 58 This man took the body and wrapped in clean linen cloth
Now the centurion, and those
who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and
the things that were happening, became very
frightened and said, Truly
this was the Son of God!”
He was despised and forsaken
of men,
A man of sorrows and
acquainted with grief;
And like one from whom men
hide their face
He was despised, and we did
not esteem Him.
Surely our griefs He Himself
bore,
And our sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him
stricken,
Smitten of God, and
afflicted.
But He was pierced through
for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our
iniquities;
The chastening for our
well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are
healed.
ll of us like sheep have gone
astray,
Each of us has turned to his
own way;
But the LORD has caused the
iniquity of us all
To fall on Him.
He was oppressed and He was
afflicted,
Yet He did not open His
mouth;
Like a lamb that is led to
slaughter,
And like a sheep that is
silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
By oppression and judgment He
was taken away;
And as for His generation,
who considered
That He was cut off out of
the land of the living
For the transgression of my
people, to whom the stroke was due?
