A Reading from the Book of Matthew
E 
As they were going out,
A 
Em 
D 
they met a man from Cyrene named Simon,
Em 
and they forced him to
E 
Em 
carry the cross.
E 
Em 
They came to a place called Golgotha,
E 
which means the
place of the skull.
A 
E 
There they offered Je sus wine to drink,
F#m 
mixed with gall,
D 
Em 
but after tasting it, he refused to drink it.
E 
When they had crucified Him,
E 
they divided up His clothes by casting lots,
and sitting down they kept watch
Ebm 
over Him there.
E 
Above His head
they placed the written charge against Him,
D 
E 
This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.
Two robbers were crucified with Him,
one on His right
F#m 
E 
and one on His left.
Em 
E 
Those who passed by hurled insults at him,
E 
shaking their heads and saying,
D 
who are going to destroy the temple
E 
and build it in three days,
save yourself.
Come down from the cross
if you are the Son of God.
A 
E 
In the same way, the chief priests,
the teachers of the law,
D 
and the elders mocked him.
E 
He saved others, they said,
but he can't save himself.
He's the king of Israel.
Let him come down
now from the cross
D 
and we will believe in him.
E 
He trusts in God.
D 
G 
Let God rescue him now if
Em 
he wants him.
E 
For he said, I am the son of God.
In the same way,
E 
the robbers who were crucified with him
Bbm 
also heaped insults on him.
