THE CRUCIFIXION
Key verse: 24a
NIV
The Soldiers Mock Jesus(A)
16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace(B) (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(C) 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out(D) to crucify him.
The Crucifixion of Jesus(E)
21 A certain man from Cyrene,(F) Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus,(G) was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.(H) 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh,(I) but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots(J) to see what each would get.
25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.(K)
27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [a] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(L) and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(M) 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him(N) among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah,(O) this king of Israel,(P) come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

Jesus Is Mocked
16 (A)And the soldiers led him away inside (B)the palace (that is, (C)the governor's headquarters),[a] and they called together the whole (D)battalion.[b] 17 And they clothed him in (E)a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him. 18 And they began to salute him, (F)“Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 And they were striking his head with a reed and (G)spitting on him and (H)kneeling down in homage to him. 20 And when they had (I)mocked him, they stripped him of (J)the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. And they (K)led him out to crucify him.
The Crucifixion
21 (L)And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. 22 (M)And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull). 23 And they offered him wine mixed with (N)myrrh, but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him and (O)divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. 25 And (P)it was the third hour[c] when they crucified him. 26 And the inscription of the charge against him read, (Q)“The King of the Jews.” 27 And with him they crucified two (R)robbers, (S)one on his right and one on his left.[d] 29 And (T)those who passed by derided him, (U)wagging their heads and saying, (V)“Aha! (W)You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!” 31 So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, (X)“He saved others; (Y)he cannot save himself. 32 Let (Z)the Christ, (AA)the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may (AB)see and believe.” (AC)Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

1. The soldiers mock Jesus (16-2
)
To mock Jesus, the soldiers put a purple robe on Jesus and placed a crown of thorns on his head. They said, 'Hail, king of the Jews!' They beat him with a staff, spit on him, and made fun of him by paying fake homage to him. As they mocked and abused him, Jesus remained silent. Jesus endured the shame and pain in order to fulfill God's salvation work. He bore all the mocking and humiliation on our behalf and set us free. Jesus is our true king. But isn't our heartless worship like the soldiers' fake homage?
2. Jesus was crucified (21-32)
At the crucifixion site, Jesus was offered wine mixed with myrrh, but he refused it. They crucified him at 9 in the morning. Crucifixion was brutal and terribly savage. The written charge against Jesus read: THE KING OF THE JEWS. Those who were passing by, the religious leaders, and even the other criminals kept mocking Jesus: 'He saved others… but he couldn't save himself.' Jesus chose to save sinners, not himself. He offered his life on the cross as a ransom for us.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for saving us by enduring the mockery and crucifixion. Help us to remember what you have done for us.
One Word: Crucified for our salvation
