The Fifth Sorrowful Mystery
The Crucifixion of Our Lord
(Matthew 27:33-56)
27:33 And when they were come unto a place
called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of
a skull,
27:34 They
gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall:
and when he had tasted thereof, he would not
drink.
27:35 And they
crucified him, and parted his garments,
casting lots: that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by the prophet, They parted
my garments among them, and upon my vesture
did they cast lots.
27:36 And
sitting down they watched him there;
27:37 And set
up over his head his accusation written,
THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27:38 Then
were there two thieves crucified with him,
one on the right hand, and another on the
left.
27:39 And they
that passed by reviled him, wagging their
heads,
27:40 And
saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and
buildest it in three days, save thyself. If
thou be the Son of God, come down from the
cross.
27:41 Likewise
also the chief priests mocking him, with the
scribes and elders, said,
27:42 He saved
others; himself he cannot save. If he be the
King of Israel, let him now come down from
the cross, and we will believe him.
27:43 He
trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if
he will have him: for he said, I am the Son
of God.
27:44 The
thieves also, which were crucified with him,
cast the same in his teeth.
27:45 Now from
the sixth hour there was darkness over all
the land unto the ninth hour.
27:46 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?
27:47 Some of
them that stood there, when they heard that,
said, This man calleth for Elias.
27:48 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.
27:49 The rest
said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will
come to save him.
27:50 Jesus,
when he had cried again with a loud voice,
yielded up the ghost.
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;
27:52 And the
graves were opened; and many bodies of the
saints which slept arose,
27:53 And came
out of the graves after his resurrection,
and went into the holy city, and appeared
unto many.
27:54 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.
27:55 And many
women were there beholding afar off, which
followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering
unto him:
27:56 Among
which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the
mother of James and Joses, and the mother of
Zebedees children.
