Mark 15,25-32
It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
The inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.”
With him they crucified two revolutionaries, one on his right and one on
his left.
Those passing by reviled him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You
who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself
by coming down from the cross.”
Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes, mocked him among
themselves and said, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. Let the
Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may
see and believe.”
Those who were crucified with him also kept abusing him.
