The Crucifixion of Christ | Bible Story
The crowd jostled and pushed Jesus towards Golgotha, the place of the skulls on the outskirts of Jerusalem. It had also been decided to crucify two robbers alongside Jesus.
The soldiers gave Jesus some wine to drink, but he refused it. On his cross was written, “Jesus of Nazareth, The King of the Jews.” They nailed Jesus and the prisoners to the crosses. Then they were set upright.
The soldiers took off their robes and played with dice to decide which one of them would win the robe. They mocked him, saying, “If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
Jesus prayed to God, saying, “Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do!”
People had gathered near the cross. Among them were Mary, his mother, Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James the younger and Joses. Jesus asked John to care for Mary as his mother and told Mary, “This is your son from now on.”
At six in the evening, deep darkness fell upon the land, and Jesus cried out, “My God, why have you forsaken me?”
One of them dipped a sponge in vinegar and, on the end of a spear, they tried to make him drink it. “Let us see if God saves him!” they said. To kill the prisoners quickly, the soldiers broke their knees. But by the time they came to Jesus, he had died.
A soldier pierced Jesus to check if he had died, and blood and water flowed.
The curtain in the Temple of God in Jerusalem tore from top to bottom. There was a terrible earthquake.
The centurion looked up at Jesus and said, “Truly, this man was the Son of God!”
