God's Word Translation

Matthew 27:35-40 God's Word Translation (GW)

35. After they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by throwing dice.

36. Then they sat there and kept watch over him.

37. They placed a written accusation above his head. It read, “This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.”

38. At that time they crucified two criminals with him, one on his right and the other on his left.

39. Those who passed by insulted him. They shook their heads

40. and said, “You were going to tear down God’s temple and build it again in three days. Save yourself! If you’re the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
