1 answer
Matthew 27:32-44 narrates the events that took place as Jesus was carrying the cross to his crucifixion. Along the way, the soldiers forced a man named Simon of Cyrene to help Jesus carry the cross. They arrived at a place called Golgotha, which means "Place of the Skull." There, they offered Jesus wine mixed with gall, but he refused to drink it. Jesus was then crucified between two criminals. Those passing by insulted him and hurled insults at him, and even the religious leaders mocked him, saying if he was the Son of God, he should save himself. The soldiers also mocked him, offering him sour wine and challenging him to prove himself. The passage ends with Jesus hanging on the cross, with people mocking and jeering at him.
