Matthew 27:35-55 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

35. And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,

36. And sitting down they watched him there;

37. And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38. Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

53. And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

54. Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

55. And many women were there beholding afar off, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
