- And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
- They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
- And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
- And sitting down they watched him there;
- And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
- Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
- And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
- And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
- Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
- He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
- He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
- The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
- And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
- Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
- And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
- And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
- And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
- And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
- But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
- All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
- He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Wonder, heavens high, and earth stand still,
Behold the scene on Golgotha’s hill.
Encircled by scorn, the oppressed Divine,
Where scoffs and blasphemy intertwine.
The mob, led by darkness, mocks His claim,
Ridicule His title, His sacred name.
The Son of God, they jeer and jest,
Yet in His calm, His divinity confessed.
No miracle wrought to prove His reign,
Amidst the torment, the mocking, the pain.
A perfect offering, unblemished, complete,
His submission to God, none could defeat.
Blood of agony, from His brow it fell,
A redemptive flow, from Emmanuel.
Each drop a promise of grace to impart,
Sealing His covenant, from heart to heart.
His meekness a throne, His patience a crown,
Above all cruelty, His love shone down.
The Lamb, unbroken by hate or by rod,
In perfect submission, the will of God.
