Matthew 27:38
They also crucified two thieves with him, one on his right and one on his left.
The statement of his offense was displayed above his head, and it read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.”
They crucified him there and divided his clothes among themselves, casting lots to decide what each should get.
Crucifixion and Death of Jesus On their journey, they met a man from Cyrene named Simon and forced him to carry Jesus’ cross.
After they finished mocking him, they removed the purple cloak, dressed him in his own clothes, and led him out to be crucified.
Then, weaving a crown of thorns, they forced it onto his head and placed a reed in his right hand. They knelt before Jesus and mocked him, saying: “Hail, king of the Jews!”
