Matthew 27:27-44

Godbey(i) 27 Then the soldiers of the governor taking Jesus into the judgment hall, gathered to Him the whole band. 28 And having divested Him, put on Him a scarlet robe: 29 and plaiting a crown of thorns put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and bowing the knee to Him, continued to mock Him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 30 And spitting on Him, they took the reed and struck Him on the head repeatedly. 31 And when they mocked Him, divesting Him of the robe, they put on Him His own raiment, and led Him away to crucify Him. 32 And going out they found a Cyrenean man, Simon by name: they compelled him that he should bear His cross. 33 Having come to the place called Golgotha, which is called the place of a skull. 34 And they gave Him vinegar mingled with gall to drink: and tasting, He was not willing to drink it. 35 And crucifying Him, they divided His garments, casting the lot, 36 and sitting down, they continued to watch Him there. 37 And they placed over His head, His accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38 Then two thieves are crucified along with Him, the one on the right and one on the left. 39 And going by they continued to blaspheme Him, wagging their heads, 40 and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, continued to say, 42 He saved others; He is not able to save Himself: if He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on Him. 43 He trusted in God; let Him now deliver Him, if He wishes Him; for He said, I am the Son of God. 44 And the thieves being crucified along with Him were also reproaching Him in the same manner.
