Now let’s look at the New Testament version in the Living Bible it goes on to say Mathew27:28-40 {But first they took him into the armory and called out the entire contingent. They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and made a crown from long thorns and put it on his head, and placed a stick in his right hand as a scepter and knelt before him in mockery. ``Hail, King of the Jews,'' they yelled. And they spat on him and grabbed the stick and beat him on the head with it. After the mockery, they took off the robe and put his own garment on him again, and took him out to crucify him. As they were on the way to the execution grounds they came across a man from Cyrene, in Africa--Simon was his name--and forced him to carry Yeshua's cross. Then they went out to an area known as Golgotha, that is, the (Skull Hill,) where the soldiers gave him drugged wine to drink; but when he had tasted it, He refused. After the crucifixion, the soldiers threw dice to divide up His clothes among themselves. Then they sat around and watched Him as he hung there. And they put a sign above His head, ``this is Jesus, the King of the Jews.'' Two robbers were also crucified there that morning, one on either side of Him. And the people passing by hurled abuse, shaking their heads at Him and saying, ``so! You can destroy the Temple and build it again in three days, can you? Well, then, come on down from the cross if you are the Son of God!''(Yeshua meant his body as the temple) Anna
