Contextual Overview

22 so they brought him to a place called Golgotha, that is, the place of a skull. 23 there they offered him myrrhed wine to drink, but he did not take it. 24 after they had crucified him, they shared his garments, by casting lots for them: to determine what each of them should take. 25 now it was the third hour of the day, when they crucified him, 26 and the inscription of the charge against him was thus express'd, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 27 at the same time they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, the other on his left. 28 so that this passage of scripture was fulfill'd, "and he was numbred with the transgressors." 29 besides the people that pass'd by, shook their heads, and impiously said: ah, you that can destroy the temple, and rebuild it in three days, 30 save your self, and come down from the cross. 31 in like manner the chief priests and the Scribes in derision said to one another: he pretended to save others, himself he cannot save.
