Matthew 27:35

The cross and atonement

33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

34 they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

36 And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

37 Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
