And They Crucified Him
Mark 15:22-25 -- They brought Jesus to the place
called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull). 23 Then they
offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. 24 And they
crucified him . . . 25 It was the third hour when they crucified him.
1Cor. 15:1-3 -- Now, brothers, I want to remind you
of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you
have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold
firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in
vain. 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance:
that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
This is the King of the Jews
John 19:19-22 -- Pilate had a notice prepared and
fastened to the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was
crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin
and Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, "Do not
write `The King of the Jews,' but that this man claimed to be king of
the Jews." 22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
Rom. 5:6-8 -- You see, at just the right time, when
we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will
anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might
possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in
this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
His First Word on the Cross
Luke 23:33-34 -- When they came to the place called
the Skull, there they crucified him, along with the criminals-- one on
his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them,
for they do not know what they are doing."
Rom. 5:9-10 -- Since we have now been justified by
his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
10 For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him
through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled,
shall we be saved through his life!
Casting Lots for the Seamless Robe
John 19:23-24 -- When the soldiers crucified Jesus,
they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of
them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven
in one piece from top to bottom. 24 "Let's not tear it," they said to
one another. "Let's decide by lot who will get it." This happened that
the scripture might be fulfilled which said, "They divided my garments
among them and cast lots for my clothing." So this is what the soldiers
did.
Rom. 3:23-26 -- for all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God, 24 and are justified freely by his grace through the
redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented him as a
sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to
demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins
committed beforehand unpunished-- 26 he did it to demonstrate his
justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies
those who have faith in Jesus
Blasphemed and Mocked by All
Matt. 27:39-44 -- Those who passed by hurled insults
at him, shaking their heads 40 and saying, "You who are going to destroy
the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from
the cross, if you are the Son of God!" 41 In the same way the chief
priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. 42 "He saved
others," they said, "but he can't save himself! He's the King of
Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in
him. 43 He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he
said, `I am the Son of God.'" 44 In the same way the robbers who were
crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
Luke 23:36-37 -- The soldiers also came up and mocked
him. They offered him wine vinegar 37 and said, "If you are the king of
the Jews, save yourself."
Gal. 3:13 -- Christ redeemed us from the curse of the
law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone
who is hung on a tree."
His Second Word
John 19:25-27 -- Near the cross of Jesus stood his
mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary
Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he
loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your
son," 27 and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on,
this disciple took her into his home.
1Pet. 2:24 -- He himself bore our sins in his body on
the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by
his wounds you have been healed.
His Third Word
Luke 23:39-43 -- One of the criminals who hung there
hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!" 40
But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said,
"since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for
we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing
wrong." 42 Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your
kingdom." 43 Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will
be with me in paradise."
1Pet 3:18 -- For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.
His Fourth Word
Mark 15:33-36 -- At the sixth hour darkness came over
the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus
cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"--which means,
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" 35 When some of those
standing near heard this, they said, "Listen, he's calling Elijah." 36
One man ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and
offered it to Jesus to drink. "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah
comes to take him down," he said.
Col. 1:19-23 -- For God was pleased to have all his
fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all
things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace
through his blood, shed on the cross. 21 Once you were alienated from
God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. 22 But
now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to
present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from
accusation-- 23 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not
moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you
heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and
of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
His Fifth and Sixth Words
John 19:28-30 -- Later, knowing that all was now
completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I
am thirsty." 29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge
in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to
Jesus' lips. 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is
finished."
1John 2:1-2 -- My dear children, I write this to you
so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who
speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also
for the sins of the whole world.
His Seventh Word and His Death
Luke 23:46 -- Jesus called out with a loud voice,
"Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he
breathed his last.
Heb. 2:14-15 -- Since the children have flesh and
blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might
destroy him who holds the power of death--that is, the devil-- 15 and
free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of
death.
Col. 2:13 -- When you were dead in your sins and in
the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with
Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14 having canceled the written code,
with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us;
he took it away, nailing it to the cross. 15 And having disarmed the
powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing
over them by the cross.
The Miraculous Signs
Matt. 27:51-56 -- At that moment the curtain of the
temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks
split. 52 The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who
had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs, and after
Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many
people. 54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus
saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and
exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son of God!" 55 Many women were there,
watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care
for his needs. 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of
James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.
Heb. 7:26-27 -- Such a high priest meets our
need--one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted
above the heavens. 27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to
offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for
the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when
he offered himself.
Heb. 9:25-28 -- Nor did he enter heaven to offer
himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy
Place every year with blood that is not his own. 26 Then Christ would
have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But now
he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin
by the sacrifice of himself. 27 Just as man is destined to die once, and
after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take
away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to
bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
They Pierce His Side
John 19:31-37 -- Now it was the day of Preparation,
and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jews did not
want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked
Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 32 The
soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been
crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. 33 But when they
came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his
legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear,
bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. 35 The man who saw it has
given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the
truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. 36 These things
happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones
will be broken," 37 and, as another scripture says, "They will look on
the one they have pierced."
Eph. 1:7 -- In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace
1Pet. 1:18-19 -- For you know that it was not with
perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the
empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, 19 but with
the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
The Burial
John 19:38-42 -- Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked
Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but
secretly because he feared the Jews. With Pilate's permission, he came
and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who
earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh
and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. 40 Taking Jesus' body, the two of
them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in
accordance with Jewish burial customs. 41 At the place where Jesus was
crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no
one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation
and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
Matt. 27:60-66 -- He rolled a big stone in front of
the entrance to the tomb and went away. 61 Mary Magdalene and the other
Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb. 62 The next day, the one
after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to
Pilate. 63 "Sir," they said, "we remember that while he was still alive
that deceiver said, `After three days I will rise again.' 64 So give the
order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise,
his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he
has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than
the first." 65 "Take a guard," Pilate answered. "Go, make the tomb as
secure as you know how." 66 So they went and made the tomb secure by
putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.
Gal. 2:20-21 -- I have
been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who
loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of
God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died
for nothing!"
