“It is
Finished!”
And he bearing his cross went forth into a
place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
Where they crucified him, and two other with
him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the
cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
This title then read many of the Jews: for
the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in
Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
Then said the chief priests of the Jews 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, to every soldier a part; and
also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
They said therefore among themselves, 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 raiment among them, and for my
vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his
mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the
disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother!
And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
After this, Jesus knowing that all things
were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar:
and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to
his mouth.
When Jesus therefore had received the
vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the
ghost.
