The Crucifixion and Mockery

Matthew 27:32-44
32As they were going out, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon; this man they compelled to carry his cross. 33And when they had come to the place called Golgotha, which is called Place of a Skull, 34they gave him wine mixed with gall to drink; and after tasting it, he refused to drink. 35After they had crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots. 36And sitting down, they kept watch over him there. 37And over his head they placed the written charge against him: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews. 38Then two rebels are crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left. 39Those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads. 40And they said, You who destroy the temple and in three days build it, save yourself; if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41In the same way the chief priests also, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 42He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43He has trusted in God; let God rescue him now, if he desires him; for he said, I am the Son of God. 44The rebels who had been crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.
