21Now Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and the soldiers forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.
22They brought Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull.
23There they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it.
24And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.
25It was the third hour when they crucified Him.
26And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.
29And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,
30come down from the cross and save Yourself!”
31In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!
32Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” And even those who were crucified with Him berated Him.
— Mark 15:21-32
