Mark 15
23-And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
24-And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
25-And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
John 19
19And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20-This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
21-Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
22-Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
Mark 15
27-And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
28-And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
29-And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
30-Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
31-Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
32-Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
Luke 23
39-And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
40-But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41-And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42-And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43-And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
John 19
25-Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
26-When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27-Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
Matthew 27
45-Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46-And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47-Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
48-And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49-The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
John 19
30-When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: . . .
Luke 25
46-And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
Matthew 27
51-And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52-And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53-And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
54-Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
John 19
31-The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32-Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
33-But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34-But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
35-And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
36-For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
37-And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
