And they placed over his head his accusation in writing, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. Then were crucified with him two robbers, one on his right hand, and the other on his left. And they who were passing by reviled him, shaking their heads, and saying, Thou that canst pull down the temple, and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, descend from the cross. And with similar language also did the chief priests, insulting him, with the scribes and elders, and Pharisees, say, He saved others, himself he is unable to save. If he be the King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him. He trusted in God; let him now deliver him, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. And in the same manner also, did the robbers who were crucified with him, revile him. Now from the fifth hour darkness fell upon all the land, unto the ninth hour. But about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with an exceeding loud cry, saying, Eli! Eli! lama, sabacthani? that is, My God! my God! why hast thou forsaken me? Then some of those who stood there, hearing him, said, This man is calling out for Elias. And immediately one of them, running, and taking a sponge, and filling it with vinegar, and fastening it to a pole, put it to him to drink. The others said, Let him alone, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. Then Jesus crying again with a loud voice gave up the ghost. And, lo! the vail of the temple was rent in two, from the upper part to the bottom; and the earth was shaken; and the rocks were rent; and the sepulchres were opened; and many bodies of saints, who slept, arose; and coming out of the sepulchres after his resurrection, entered into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

And there was an inscription of his crime written over him, THE KING OF THE JEWS. And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, and the other on his left. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "And he was reckoned among the transgressors." And they who passed along, blasphemed him, shaking their heads, and saying, Aha! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself, and come down from the cross. And in the same manner also, the chief priests mocking him, among each other, with the scribes, said, He saved others, himself he cannot save. Thou Messiah, King of Israel, come now down from the cross, that we may see, and believe. Even those who were crucified with him railed on him. Now when the sixth hour came, there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, for what cause hast thou abandoned me? And some of those who stood by, hearing him, said, Behold, he crieth for Elias. Then one ran, and filling a sponge with vinegar, fixed it round a cane, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone, let us see if Elias comes to take him down.

Now there were two other persons, malefactors, led out with him to be executed. And when they came to a place called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, the one on the right hand, and the other on the left. And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. Then dividing his garments, they cast the lot. And the people stood looking on. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this fellow is the Messiah, the elect of God. And the soldiers also insulted him, coming and offering him vinegar, and saying, if thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself. And there was an inscription written over him in Greek, Roman, and Hebrew characters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. Then one of the suspended malefactors blasphemed him, saying, If thou art the Messiah, save thyself and us. But the other addressing him, rebuked him, saying, Hast thou no fear of God, when thou art under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive deserved punishment for the crimes we have committed: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou comest in thy kingdom. And Jesus said to him. Verily I say unto thee, To-day thou shalt be with me in paradise. And it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. And Jesus crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit: and having said this, he expired. And the centurion observing what had come to pass, glorified God, saying, Verily this man was a righteous person.

And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And this was the writing: JESUS THE NAZAREAN, THE KING OF THE JEWS, This title then many of the Jews read: for the spot where Jesus was crucified was nigh unto the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin. The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, for each soldier a part; and his vest: now the vest was without a seam, woven from the upper parts throughout the whole. They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, "They parted my garments among them, and for my vest they cast lots." So the soldiers therefore did these things. Now beside the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus then beheld his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing by, he saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home. After this, Jesus, conscious that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was placed a vessel full of vinegar: they then filling a spunge with the vinegar, and putting it on a stick of hyssop, carried it to his mouth. When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and inclining his head, he surrendered up his spirit.

death » How death entered into the world
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all are dead, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. read more.
But every one in his own rank: Christ the first-fruit; afterwards those that are Christ's at his appearing.
Therefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; even so death passed into all men through him, in whom all have sinned. For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed if there be no law. But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over those who have not sinned after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of him that was to come. read more.
But not as the transgression, so also [is] the gift. For if by the transgression of one the many became dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is in that one man, Christ Jesus, hath abounded unto many. And the gift [is] not as for one who sinned: for the judgment indeed [came] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [leads] to justification from many offences. For if by the offence of one, death reigned by that one; much more they who receive the abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life by one, Christ Jesus. Well then, as by the offence of one, [judgment issued] against all men unto condemnation; so also by the righteousness of one, [the gift came] to all men for justification unto life. For as by the disobedience of one man the many were constituted sinners; so also by the obedience of one shall the many be constituted righteous. But the law was introduced, that the offence might be more abundant. But where sin had abounded, there hath grace abounded more exceedingly: that as sin had reigned by death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto life eternal by Jesus Christ our Lord.

But if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead on account of sin; but the Spirit is alive through righteousness. But if the Spirit of him who hath raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he who raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his indwelling Spirit in you.
But will any man say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Thou fool! what thou sowest is not quickened except it die: and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body which shall be afterwards, but the bare grain, perhaps of wheat, or of some of the other seeds: read more.

death » Figurative of regeneration
If then ye have been dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye dogmatically taught,
But if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead on account of sin; but the Spirit is alive through righteousness. But if the Spirit of him who hath raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he who raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his indwelling Spirit in you.
God forbid. We who are dead to sin, how shall we still live therein? Do ye not know, that as many as have been baptised into Christ Jesus have been baptised into his death? We have been buried therefore with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life. read more.
For if we have been planted with him in the likeness of his death, so shall we be also of his resurrection: knowing this, that our old man hath been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. For he that is dead is discharged from sin. But if we have been dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death over him hath no more dominion. For in that he died, for sin he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth to God. So also do ye account yourselves dead indeed to sin, but living unto God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
ARE you unacquainted, brethren, (for I am speaking to those who know the law,) that the law exercises dominion over a person for as long time as he liveth? For the woman who is subject to a husband, is bound by the law to that husband during his life; but if the husband be dead, she is discharged from that husband. She shall therefore certainly be counted an adulteress, if, her husband being alive, she be for another man: but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law; so that she shall be no adulteress, though married to another husband. read more.
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye might be for another, who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit for God. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions excited by the law, wrought powerfully in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death. But now we have been discharged from the law, that being dead by which we were held fast; that we should serve in renovation of spirit, and not in the antiquity of the letter. What then shall we say? Is the law sin? God forbid. Yea, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not even known concupiscence, unless the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. But sin, seizing the opportunity by the law, wrought in me all concupiscence. For without the law sin is dead. For though I lived without the law formerly; yet when the commandment came, sin revived, but I died. And the commandment, which [was] for life, the same was found by me for death.
death » Who has hope in their death
