A.D. 30. Age 33. Jerusalem. Golgotha: Calvary.
Matthew 27, 39-56: Mark 15, 29-41: Luke 23, 35-49: John 19, 23-30.
THE soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part: casting lots upon them.
The people that passed by derided him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself!
The soldiers also mocked him, saying, If thou be the King of the Jews, save thyself!
Likewise the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save!
One of the two thieves which were crucified with him cast the same in his teeth; but the other rebuked him, saying, Dost thou not fear God? We receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
Jesus said unto him,
¶Now there stood by the cross Jesus’ mother, and his mother's sister; Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved: * and he saith unto his mother,
Then saith he to the disciple,
And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
¶Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, saith,
Straightway one of them ran, and filled a sponge with vinegar, put it upon hysop (on a reed), and put it to Jesus’ mouth. When he had received the vinegar, he said,
And when he had cried again with a loud voice, he said,
Having said thus, Jesus bowed his head, and yielded up the ghost.
¶All his acquaintance stood afar off, beholding these things. There were also women looking on: among which was Mary Magdalene; and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses; and Salome the mother of Zebedee's children; and many other women which came up with Jesus into Jerusalem.
