a And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. a Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, Matt. xxvi. 67. They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth. And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword. They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face, Job xxx. 8-10, Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek, Mic. v. 1. And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him, Mark xv. 19. For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again, Luke xviii. 32, 33. A. D. 33. he openeth not his mouth, Isa. liii. 7. Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away, John xix. 16. VER. 32. ναῖον, ονόματι Σίμωνα· τοῦτον ἐγγάρευσαν Εξερχόμενοι δὲ, εὗρον ἄνθρωπον Κυρηἵνα ἄρῃ τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ. a And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross, And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross, Mark xv. 21. And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus, Luke xxiii. 26. VER. 33. Καὶ ἐλθόντες εἰς τόπον λεγόμενον Γολγο θα, ὅς ἐστι λεγόμενος κρανίου τόπος, a And when they were come unto à place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull, Mark xv.22. And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the paps which never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. For if they do these things in a green tree, What shall be done in the dry? And there were him to be put to death. And when also two other, malefactors, led with they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left, Luke xxiii. 27-33, And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha, John xix. 17.

They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. : a And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, ver. 48. They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink, Psal. Ixix. 21. And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh but he received it not, Mark xv. 23. After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost, John xix. 28-30. upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again, Mark the serpent in the wilderness, even so x. 33, 34. And as Moses lifted up must the Son of man be lifted up, John iii. 14. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die. The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? xii. 32–34. And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take, Mark xv. 24. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots, Luke xxiii. 34. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be : that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did, John xix. 23, 24. < They parted my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture, Psal. xxii. 18. See also on chap. i. ver. 22. VER. 36.

And a sitting down, they watched him there; a His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, Deut. xxi. 23. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet, Psal. xxii. 16. And they shall look upon me, whom they have pierced, Zech. xii. 10. And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify, Matt. xx. 19. Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the Chief Priests, and unto the Scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Καὶ ἐπέθηκαν ἐπάνω τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ Gentiles: And they shall mock him, ¦ τὴν αἰτίαν αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένην ΟΥΤΟΣ that were with him, watching Jesus, a Now when the centurion, and they that were done, they feared greatly, saw the earthquake, and those things saying, Truly this was the Son of God, ver. 54. And when the centu rion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God, Mark xv. 39. VER. 37. A. D. 33. MATT. XXVII. 37-39.

And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS, Luke xxiii. 38. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. Then said the Chief Priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews ; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written I have written, John xix. 19-22. VER. 38. Τότε σταυροῦνται σὺν αὐτῷ δύο λησταί, εἷς ἐκ δεξιῶν, καὶ εἷς ἐξ εὐωνύμων. a Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. a The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth, ver. 44. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors, Isa. liii. 12. And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. And the Scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors, Mark xv. 27, 28. For I say unto you, That this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end, Luke xxii. 37. And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, factors, one on the right hand, and VER. 39. Οἱ δὲ παραπορευόμενοι ἐβλασφήμουν αυτ τὸν, κινοῦντες τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν, a And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, a But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, Psal. xxii. 6, 7. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me, 17. I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me. I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel. For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life, xxxi. 11-13. But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not, they did tear me, and ceased not: With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. LORD, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions. I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, If he be Christ, the chosen of God. And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself, Luke xxiii. 35—37. VER. 40. Καὶ λέγοντες· Ὁ καταλύων τὸν ναὸν, καὶ τόν· εἰ υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ Θεοῦ, κατάβηθι ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις οἰκοδομῶν, σῶσον σεαυσταυροῦ. And saying, a Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. b If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. c a And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days, Matt. xxvi. 61. Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish, Luke xiv. 29, 30. Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said, John ii. 19–22. b See on chap. xiv. ver. 33. clause 2. A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed, Matt. xvi. 4.

They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion, Psal. xxii. 12, 13. Likewise also the Chief Priests mocking said among themselves with the Scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him, Mark xv. 31, 32. Then Jesus said unto the Chief Priests and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? Luke xxii. 52. And the people stood beholding. And the ru lers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, If he be Christ, the chosen of God, xxiii. 35.

And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, 33. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 34.
