The King on a Cross
32 aNow as they came out, bthey found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross.
33 aAnd when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull,
34 athey gave Him1 sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.
35 aThen they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots,1 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet:
b“They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.”
b“They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.”
36 aSitting down, they kept watch over Him there.
37 And they aput up over His head the accusation written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 aThen two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.
