The Crucifixion
Douay-Rheims 1899 (DRA)
Mat 27:32–44
- 32 And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they forced to take up his cross.
- 33 And they came to the place that is called Golgotha, which is the place of Calvary.
- 34 And they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And when he had tasted, he would not drink.
- 35 And after they had crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: They divided my garments among them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.
- 36 And they sat and watched him.
- 37 And they put over his head his cause written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
- 38 Then were crucified with him two thieves: one on the right hand, and one on the left.
- 39 And they that passed by, blasphemed him, wagging their heads,
- 40 And saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God, and in three days dost rebuild it: save thy own self: if thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
- 41 In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and ancients, mocking, said:
- 42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
- 43 He trusted in God; let him now deliver him if he will have him; for he said: I am the Son of God.
- 44 And the selfsame thing the thieves also, that were crucified with him, reproached him with.
Mrk 15:21–32
- 21 And they forced one Simon a Cyrenian who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and of Rufus, to take up his cross.
- 22 And they bring him into the place called Golgotha, which being interpreted is, The place of Calvary.
- 23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh; but he took it not.
- 24 And crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
- 25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
- 26 And the inscription of his cause was written over: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
- 27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
- 28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: And with the wicked he was reputed.
- 29 And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God, and in three days buildest it up again;
- 30 Save thyself, coming down from the cross.
- 31 In like manner also the chief priests mocking, said with the scribes one to another: He saved others; himself he cannot save.
- 32 Let Christ the king of Israel come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
Luk 23:26–43
- 26 And as they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country; and they laid the cross on him to carry after Jesus.
- 27 And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, who bewailed and lamented him.
- 28 But Jesus turning to them, said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
- 29 For behold, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the paps that have not given suck.
- 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains: Fall upon us; and to the hills: Cover us.
- 31 For if in the green wood they do these things, what shall be done in the dry?
- 32 And there were also two other malefactors led with him to be put to death.
- 33 And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, they crucified him there; and the robbers, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
- 34 And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. But they, dividing his garments, cast lots.
- 35 And the people stood beholding, and the rulers with them derided him, saying: He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the elect of God.
- 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
- 37 And saying: If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
- 38 And there was also a superscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
- 39 And one of those robbers who were hanged, blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
- 40 But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing thou art condemned under the same condemnation?
- 41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil.
- 42 And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom.
- 43 And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.
Jhn 19:16–27
- 16 Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him forth.
- 17 And bearing his own cross, he went forth to that place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha.
- 18 Where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.
- 19 And Pilate wrote a title also, and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
- 20 This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.
- 21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am the King of the Jews.
- 22 Pilate answered: What I have written, I have written.
- 23 The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified him, took his garments, (and they made four parts, to every soldier a part,) and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
- 24 They said then one to another: Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, saying: They have parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they have cast lot. And the soldiers indeed did these things.
- 25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.
- 26 When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.
- 27 After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.
