Matthew 27:33 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 27:33

31 And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, ^aand led Him away to be crucified.

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.”

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.

39 And ^athose who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads

40 and saying, ^a“You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! ^bIf You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”

41 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the¹ scribes and elders, said,

42 “He ^asaved others; Himself He cannot save.¹ If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe² Him.

43 ^aHe trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ”

44 ^aEven the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.

Jesus Dies on the Cross

45 ^aNow from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.

46 And about the ninth hour ^aJesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, ^b“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
