35. And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he is Christ, the chosen of God.

36. And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

38. And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39. And one of the malefactors who were hanged railed at him, saying, If you are Christ, save yourself and us.

41. And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man has done nothing amiss.

42. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.

43. And Jesus said unto him,

49. And all his acquaintances, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

50. And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a member of the council and he was a good man, and just:

51. (The same had not consented to the council and the action of them;) he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
