Matthew

Matthew 27:31–37

³¹After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.

³²Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

³³And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull, ³⁴they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

³⁵When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.^d ³⁶And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

³⁷Above His head they posted the written charge against Him:

THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
