18. And they began to salute him: "Hail, king of the Jews."
19. And they struck his head with a reed, and they spit on him. And kneeling down, they reverenced him.
20. And after they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple, and they clothed him in his own garments. And they led him away, so that they might crucify him.
21. And they compelled a certain passerby, Simon the Cyrenian, who was arriving from the countryside, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to take up his cross.
22. And they led him through to the place called Golgotha, which means, 'the Place of Calvary.'
23. And they gave him wine with myrrh to drink. But he did not accept it.
24. And while crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots over them, to see who would take what.
25. Now it was the third hour. And they crucified him.
26. And the title of his case was written as: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27. And with him they crucified two robbers: one at his right, and the other at his left.
28. And the scripture was fulfilled, which says: "And with the iniquitous he was reputed."
29. And the passersby blasphemed him, shaking their heads and saying, "Ah, you who would destroy the temple of God, and in three days rebuild it,
30. save yourself by descending from the cross."
31. And similarly the leaders of the priests, mocking him with the scribes, said to one another: "He saved others. He is not able to save himself.
32. Let the Christ, the king of Israel, descend now from the cross, so that we may see and believe." Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.
33. And when the sixth hour arrived, a darkness occurred over the entire earth, until the ninth hour.
34. And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani?" which means, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"
