Matthew 27:32Matthew 27:32As they were coming out, they

found a man of Cyrene named Simon, whom they pressed into service to bear His cross.

Matthew 27:33-34Matthew 27:33-34And when they came to a place

called Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull, 34 they gave Him wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink.

Matthew 27:35-36Matthew 27:35-36And when they had crucified Him,

they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots. 36 And sitting down, they began to keep watch over Him there.

Matthew 27:37Matthew 27:37And above His head they put up

the charge against Him which read, “This is Jesus the king of the Jews.”

Matthew 27:38Matthew 27:38At that time two robbers were

crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left.

Matthew 27:39-40Matthew 27:39-40And those passing by were hurling

abuse at Him, wagging their heads 40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”

Matthew 27:41-43Matthew 27:41-43In the same way the chief priests

also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying, 42 “He saved others; He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43 He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He delights in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

All who see me sneer at me; All who see me sneer at me; They separate with the lip,They separate with the lip,They wag the head, They wag the head, sayingsaying,,88 “Commit “Commit yourself yourself to the LORD; to the LORD; Let Him deliver him;Let Him deliver him;Let Him rescue him,Let Him rescue him,Because He delights in him.” Because He delights in him.” (Psalm 22:7-8).(Psalm 22:7-8).

Matthew 27:44Matthew 27:44The robbers who had been

crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.

Matthew 27:47Matthew 27:47And some of those who were

standing there, when they heard it, began saying, “This man is calling for Elijah.”

Matthew 27:48-49Matthew 27:48-49Immediately one of them ran, and

taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink. 49 But the rest of them said, “Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him.”

Matthew 27:50Matthew 27:50And Jesus cried out again with a

Matthew 27:55-56Matthew 27:55-56Many women were there looking

on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while ministering to Him. 56 Among them was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

Matthew 27:57-58Matthew 27:57-58When it was evening,

there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. 58 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

Matthew 27:59-60Matthew 27:59-60And Joseph took the

body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away.

Matthew 27:61Matthew 27:61And Mary Magdalene

was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.

Matthew 27:62-63Matthew 27:62-63Now on the next day, the day after

the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together with Pilate, 63 and said, “Sir, we remember that when He was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I am to rise again.’”

Matthew 27:64Matthew 27:64“Therefore, give orders for the

grave to be made secure until the third day, otherwise His disciples may come and steal Him away and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”

Matthew 27:65-66Matthew 27:65-66Pilate said to them, “You have a

guard; go, make it as secure as you know how.” 66 And they went and made the grave secure, and along with the guard they set a seal on the stone.
