And they impress a certain passer-by, Simon a Cyrenian, coming from a field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, - that he may carry his cross.

And they bring him unto the Golgotha place, which is, being translated, Skull-place.

And they would have given him, myrrhed wine, - who, however, received it not.

And they crucify him, and part asunder his garments, casting a lot upon them - who should have anything.

And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

And the inscription of his accusation, had been inscribed - THE KING OF THE JEWS.

And, with him, they crucify, two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left.

And, the passers-by, were reviling him, shaking their heads, and saying - Aha! thou who wast pulling down the shrine, and building one in three days!

Save thyself, - coming down from the cross.

Likewise, the High-priests also, mocking one to another, with the Scribes, were saying - Others, he saved, himself, he cannot save!

The Christ, the King of Israel - let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And, they who had been crucified with him, were casting it in his teeth.
