Mark 15:26

Jesus Christ

24 And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

25 It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

And the charge inscribed against Him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27 Along with Jesus, they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left.
