15:21 Yeshua is publicly executed along with thieves

(Yhn 19:17-27, Mat. 27:32-44, Luke 23:26-43)

21[ref]As they walked out of the city, they came across a man coming in from the country. He was Simon from Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, and the soldiers forced him to carry the execution pole, 22and so they all arrived at Golgotha (which means “Place of the skull”). 23There the soldiers went to give some spiced wine to Yeshua, but he declined it. 24[ref]So they carried out the execution, taking Yeshua’s clothes and drawing straws to see who would get what. 25By now it was 9am, and they affixed Yeshua to the pole. 26The charge had been written out and attached at the top: “The King of the Jews.” 27That morning, two thieves were also executed there—one on each side of Yeshua.

28 29[ref]As people passed by on the path, they insulted Yeshua, shaking their heads and shouting, “Hoy there! You who reckoned you could demolish the temple and rebuild it in three days. 30Come down from that pole and save yourself.”

31Similarly the chief priests and the religious teachers laughed together and mocked, “He did miracles for others, but he can’t even save himself. 32The so-called ‘chosen one’ or ‘King of Israel’. Now, if he’d just come down from there, then we’d be able to believe him.”

Even the other two being executed with him were deriding him.


21And they_are_compelling a_certain_ from_Kuraʸnaʸ _man passing_by, Simōn, coming from the_country, the father of_Alexandros and Ɽoufos, in_order_that he_may_carry the stake of_him.
22And they_are_bringing him to the Golgotha/(Gulggolet), place which is being_translated:
place Of_the_skull.
23And they_were_giving wine to_him having_been_mixed_with_myrrh, but which he_ not _took.
24And having_executed_on_a_stake him, they_are_dividing the clothes of_him, throwing a_lot for them, and_who may_take_ what _away.
25And it_was the_ third _hour, and they_executed_on_a_stake him.
26And the inscription of_the charge of_him having_been_inscribed was:
The king of_the Youdaiōns.
27And they_are_executing_on_a_stake two robbers with him, one on the_right and one on the_left of_him.
28 29And the ones passing_through were_slandering him, shaking the heads of_them, and saying:
Aha, you tearing_down the temple and building it in three days, 30having_come_down from the stake, save yourself.
31Likewise also the chief_priests, mocking to one_another with the scribes were_saying:
He_saved others, he_is_ not _able to_save himself.
32The chosen_one/messiah, the king of_Israaʸl/(Yisrāʼēl), let_come_down now from the stake, in_order_that we_may_see and we_may_believe.
And the ones having_been_executed_on_a_stake_with with him were_deriding him.

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19

On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
