And they crucified Him

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.

Matthew 27:35-37 KJV

________________

When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified Him, along with the criminals--one on His right, the other on His left.

Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up His clothes by casting lots.

The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, "He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One."

The soldiers also came up and mocked Him. They offered him wine vinegar and said, "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself."

Luke 23:33-37 NIV

________________

After this Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfil the scripture), "I thirst."

A bowl full of vinegar stood there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished"; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him; but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. He who saw it has borne witness--his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth--that you also may believe.

John 19:28-35 RSV

Thanks be unto God for his amazing gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten
Son of God is the object of our faith;
the only faith that saves is faith in Him
 
Prayer:

"Jesus saying thank You seem so insufficient for such a great sacrifice that Thee bestowed unto us. But that is the only word I know to thank Thee - Thank You Jesus for giving Your life to save us. Let our lives be a living testimony to glorify what You have done for us on the cross. In Jesus Name Amen."
