32 As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene named Simon, and the soldiers forced him to carry Jesus' cross. 33 They came to a place called Golgotha, which means, "The Place of the Skull." 34 Ps 69.21There they offered Jesus wine mixed with a bitter substance; but after tasting it, he would not drink it.
35 Ps 22.18They crucified him and then divided his clothes among them by throwing dice. 36 After that they sat there and watched him. 37 Above his head they put the written notice of the accusation against him: "This is Jesus, the King of the Jews." 38 Then they crucified two bandits with Jesus, one on his right and the other on his left.
39 Ps 22.7;109.25; Si 12.17,18; 13.7People passing by shook their heads and hurled insults at Jesus: 40 Mt 26.61;Jn 2.19"You were going to tear down the Temple and build it back up in three days! Save yourself if you are God’s Son! Come on down from the cross!"
41 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the Law and the elders made fun of him: 42 "He saved others, but he cannot save himself! Isn’t he the king of Israel? If he will come down off the cross now, we will believe in him! 43 Ps 22.8; Ws 2.18-20He trusts in God and claims to be God’s Son. Well, then, let us see if God wants to save him now!"
44 Even the bandits who had been crucified with him insulted him in the same way.
