Matthew 27:32-56 Deeper

32 As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross. 

33 They came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull.” 

34 They gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink. 

35 When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,

36 and they sat and watched him there. 

37 They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

38 Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left. 

39 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, 

40 and saying, “You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

41 Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said, 

42 “He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. 

43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 

44 The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

47 Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”

48 Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink. 

49 The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

50 Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit. 

51 Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split. 

52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 

53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many. 

54 Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

55 Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him. 

56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
