Old Negro Spirituals #21

They compelled a
passer-by, who was
coming in from the
country, to carry his
cross; it was Simon of
Cyrene, the father of
Alexander and Rufus.
Then they brought Jesus
to the place called
Golgotha (which means
the place of a skull). 
And they offered him
wine mixed with myrrh;
but he did not take it.
And they crucified him,
and divided his clothes
among them, casting lots
to decide what each
should take.

It was nine o’clock in
the morning when they
crucified him. The
inscription of the charge
against him read, “The
King of the Jews.” 
And with him they
crucified two bandits,
one on his right and one
on his left. Those who
passed by derided him,
shaking their heads and
saying, “Aha! You who
would destroy the temple
and build it in three days,
save yourself, and
come down from the
cross!” In the same
way the chief priests,
along with the scribes,
were also mocking him
among themselves and
saying, “He saved others;
he cannot save himself.
Let the Messiah, the
King of Israel, come
down from the cross
now, so that we may see
and believe.” Those who
were crucified with him
also taunted him.

Mark 15: 21-32
