²¹ And they impress a certain one passing by -- Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus -- that he may bear his cross,

²² and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, `Place of a skull;'

²³ and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.

²⁴ And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;

²⁵ and it was the third hour, and they crucified him;

²⁶ and the inscription of his accusation was written above -- `The King of the Jews.'

²⁷ And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left,

²⁸ and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with lawless ones he was numbered.'

²⁹ And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!

³⁰ save thyself, and come down from the cross!'

³¹ And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.

³² The Christ! the king of Israel -- let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.
