26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. |
27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. |
28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. |
29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. |
30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. |
31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? |
32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. |
33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. |
34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. |
35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. |
36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, |
37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. |
38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. |
40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? |
41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. |
42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. |
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. |
44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. |
45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. |
46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. |
47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. |
48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. |
49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. |
50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counseller; and he was a good man, and a just: |
51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. |
52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. |
53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. |
54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. |
55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. |
56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment. |
