And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.
21
Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross.
22
And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.
23
Then they gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink, but He did not take it.
24
And when they crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.

36
Then someone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink, saying, "Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down."

And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.
