christ crucified

³³And when they arrived at the place that is called Calvary, they crucified him there, with the robbers, one to the right and the other to the left. ³⁴Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them. For they know not what they do.” And truly, dividing his garments, they cast lots. ³⁵And people were standing near, watching. And the leaders among them derided him, saying: “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this one is the Christ, the elect of God.” ³⁶And the soldiers also ridiculed him, approaching him and offering him vinegar, ³⁷and saying, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.” ³⁸Now there was also an inscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: This is the king of the Jews.

⁶Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

²³But we are preaching Christ crucified. Certainly, to the Jews, this is a scandal, and to the Gentiles, this is foolishness.

¹¹He went to his own, and his own did not accept him.

³⁶Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But whoever is unbelieving toward the Son shall not see life; instead the wrath of God remains upon him.”

³⁶Jesus responded: “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my ministers would certainly strive so that I would not be handed over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not now from here.”

³⁶Therefore, may the entire house of Israel know most certainly that God has made this same Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

²¹For God made him who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the justice of God in him.

¹⁸For the Word of the Cross is certainly foolishness to those who are perishing. But to those who have been saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.

²⁵Now it was the third hour. And they crucified him. ²⁶And the title of his case was written as: The king of the Jews. ²⁷And with him they crucified two robbers: one at his right, and the other at his left. ²⁸And the scripture was fulfilled, which says: “And with the iniquitous he was reputed.” ²⁹And the passersby blasphemed him, shaking their heads and saying, “Ah, you who would destroy the temple of God, and in three days rebuild it, ³⁰save yourself by descending from the cross.”

²For I did not judge myself to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

⁸But what does Scripture say? “The word is near, in your mouth and in your heart.” This is the word of faith, which we are preaching.
