10 The cruel Jews were near with hammer and with nails; they cried, not cords, but nails; drive fast the nails and hold him to the cross.
11 And then the soldiers took the nails and drove them through his feet and hands.
12 They offered him a sedative to drink, a draught of vinegar and myrrh; but he refused to drink the draught.
13 The soldiers had prepared a place in which to plant Barabbas’ cross between the other criminals; and here they raised the cross of Jesus, who was called the Christ;
14 And then the soldiers and the mob sat down to watch him die.
15 And Jesus said, My Father-God, forgive these men; they know not what they do.
16 Now, Pilate had prepared a tablet to be placed upon the cross on which was written in the tongues of Hebrew, Latin and the Greek these words of truth: JESUS THE CHRIST, KING OF THE JEWS.
17 And this was placed upon the cross. The priests were angered when they read these words upon the tablet of the cross.
18 And then they prayed that Pilate would not say, He is the Christ, king of the Jews; but say, He claims to be the Christ, king of the Jews.
19 But Pilate said, What I have written, I have written; let it stand.
