Tree Of Life Version

Matthew 27:34-50 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

34. they offered Him wine mixed with gall to drink; but after tasting, He was unwilling to drink it.

35. And when they had crucified Him, they divided His clothing among themselves by casting lots.

36. And they sat down and kept guard over Him there.

37. Over His head they put the charge against Him, which read: “THIS IS YESHUA, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

38. Then two outlaws were executed with Him, one on the right and one on the left.

39. Those passing by were jeering at Him, shaking their heads

40. and saying, “You who are going to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If you are Ben-Elohim, come down from the stake!”

41. Likewise the ruling kohanim, along with the Torah scholars and elders, were also mocking Him.

42. “He saved others,” they were saying, “but He can’t save Himself? He’s the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the stake, and we’ll believe in Him!

43. He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am Ben-Elohim.’”

44. Even the outlaws who were executed with Him were ridiculing Him in the same way.

45. Now from the sixth hour, darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour.

46. About the ninth hour Yeshua cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You abandoned Me?”

47. When some of those standing there heard it, they began saying, “This Man is calling for Elijah.”

48. Right away one of them ran and took a sponge. He filled it with sour wine and put it on a stick, and was offering it to Yeshua to drink.

49. But the rest were saying, “Leave Him alone! Let’s see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

50. And Yeshua cried out again with a loud voice and gave up His spirit.
