WPNT(i)
27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around Him.
28 They stripped Him and put a scarlet cloak on Him.
29 They plaited a crown out of thorns and put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and kneeling before Him they would mock Him saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
30 Spitting on Him they took the reed and hit Him repeatedly on the head.
31 After they had mocked Him they took the cloak off Him and put His own clothes back on; and they led Him away to be crucified.
32 Now as they went out they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon; they compelled him to carry His cross.
33 Upon arriving at a place called Golgotha, which means ‘place of a skull’,
34 they gave Him sour wine mixed with gall to drink; but having tasted it He would not drink.
35 Having crucified Him they divided up His clothes by casting lots.
36 And sitting down there they guarded Him.
37 And they put the charge against Him over His head in writing: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then they crucify two bandits with Him, one on His right and one on His left.
39 And the passers-by kept blaspheming Him, wagging their heads
40 and saying: “You who destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself!” “If you are ‘Son of God’, come down from the cross!”
41 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the scribes and elders and Pharisees, said:
42 “He saved others; himself he cannot save!” “If he is ‘King of Israel’ let him come down from the cross now and we will believe him!”
43 “He trusted in God; let Him rescue him now, if He wants him; for he said that he was the Son of God.”
44 Even the bandits who were crucified with Him were reviling Him in the same way.
