vs.  28.  And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

vs.  29.  And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews.

vs.  30.  And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head,  vs.  31. And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off fom him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

vs.  32.  And as they came out they found a man of Cyrene Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.   Vs.  33.  and when they were come unto a place called  Golgotha, that is to say a place of the skull,

vs.  34.  They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when they had when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.  Vs.  35.  And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by nthe prophet, they parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

vs.  36.And sitting down they watched him there;  Vs.  37.  And set over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.  Vs. 38.  Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand and another on the left. Vs. 39. And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads. vs. 40. And saying, thou that destroyeth the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself.
