The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ
GOSPEL OF St. Mark
It was nine o'clock in the morning
when they crucified him.
The inscriptions of the charges
against him read, THE KING
OF THE JEWS.
And with him they crucified
two rebels, one on his right
and one on his left.
Verse 28b [footnote]
And the scripture was fulfilled
that says, 'And he was counted
among the lawless' [ prophecy
of the SERVANT : Book of the
Prophet Isaiah ch.53, v.12 ].
Verses 29 - 32
Those who passed by derided
/ blasphemed him, shaking their
heads and saying, 'Aha! you who
would destroy the Temple and build
it in three days, save yourself, and
come down from the cross! In the
same way, the chief priests, and the
scribes, were also mocking him
among themselves and saying,
He saved others; he cannot save
himself. Let the Messiah / the
Christ, the King of Israel,
come down from the cross now,
so that we may see and believe.
Those who were crucified with him
also taunted him.
