Matthew 27:28–36
28They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.↗
29They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”↗
30They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.↗
31When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.↗
32As 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.↗
33When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”↗
34they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.↗
35When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,↗
36and they sat and watched him there.↗
