25. | It was the third hour when they crucified him. |
26. | The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
27. | They crucified two robbers with him, one on his right and one on his left. |
28. | (BLANK) |
29. | Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, "So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, |
30. | come down from the cross and save yourself!" |
31. | In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. "He saved others," they said, "but he can't save himself! |
32. | Let this Christ, this King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him. |
33. | At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. |
34. | And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" -- which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" |
35. | When some of those standing near heard this, they said, "Listen, he's calling Elijah." |
36. | One man ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down," he said. |
37. | With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. |
38. | The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. |
39. | And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, "Surely this man was the Son of God!" |
