Matthew 27:33-44
27:33 They
came to a place called Golgotha
(which means “Place of the Skull”)
27:34 and offered Jesus
wine mixed with gall to drink.
But after tasting it, he would not drink it.
27:35 When
they had crucified
him,
they divided his clothes by throwing dice.
27:36 Then they sat down and kept guard over him there.
27:37 Above
his head they put the charge against him,
which read:
“This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.”
27:38 Then two outlaws were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.
27:39 Those
who passed by defamed him, shaking their heads
27:40 and saying, “You who can destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself!
If you are God’s Son, come down
from the cross!”
27:41 In
the same way even the chief priests – together with the experts in the law
and elders
– were mocking him:
27:42 “He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the king of Israel! If he comes down
now from the cross, we will believe in him!
27:43 H
e trusts in God – let God, if he wants to, deliver him now because he said, ‘I am God’s Son’!”
27:44 The
robbers who were crucified with him also spoke abusively to him.
Luke 23:27-33
23:27 A great number of the people followed him, among them women
who were mourning
and wailing for him.
23:28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem,
do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves
and for your children.
23:29 For this is certain:
The days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore children, and the breasts that never nursed!’
23:30 Then they will begin
to say to the mountains, ‘
Fall on us!’
and to the hills, ‘
Cover us!’
23:31 For if such things are done
when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
23:32 Two other criminals were also led away to be executed with him.
23:33 So when they came to the place that is called “The Skull,” they crucified him there, along with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.
