Mace(i)
29 then pleating a crown of thorns, they set it on his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, in mockery, saying, hail king of the Jews.
30 and they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
31 and after they had thus insulted him, they took the robe off, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32 As they were going along, they met a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: and compelled him to carry the cross.
33 when they were come to a place called Golgotha, a word which signifies a skull,
34 they gave him a mixture of wine and gall: but when he had tasted it, he refused to drink.
35 after they had crucified him, they shared his clothes among them by casting losts:
36 and they took their post to watch him there.
37 and they set an Inscription over his head, denoting the reason of his execution, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 At the same time, two robbers were crucified with him: one on his right hand, the other on his left.
39 the passengers all the while reviling him, shook their heads at him,
40 and cry'd, you that could destroy the temple, and rebuild it in three days, now save thy self: if thou art the son of God, come down from the cross.
41 the chief priests, with the scribes and senators, derided him in like manner.
42 he saved others, said they, but cannot save himself: if he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
43 he relied upon God; if he be such a favourite, let God then deliver him: for he us'd to say he was the son of God.
44 one of the robbers too, who were crucified with him, treated him with the same reproach.
45 Now from the sixth hour to the ninth, the whole land was cover'd with darkness.
46 and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI? that is to say, "my God! my God! why hast thou forsaken me?"
47 some of the standers by, when they heard that, said, he calls upon Elias.
48 immediately one of them ran to fetch a spunge, which they steep'd in vinegar, and fastning it to the end of a stick, they presented it to him, to drink:
49 while the rest cry'd, now let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50 but Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and then expir'd.
51 Immediately the vail of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom; the earth trembled, the rocks split,
52 the graves opened, and the bodies of many saints who slept arose,
53 and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared to many.
54 now the centurion, and they that were with him, to guard Jesus, having observ'd the earthquake, and all that had happened, were under great apprehensions, and said, certainly this was the son of God.
