15:21 有一個古利奈人西門，就是亞歷山大和魯孚的父親，從鄉下來，經過那地方，他們就勉強他同去，好背著耶穌的十字架。
15:22 他們帶耶穌到了各各他地方（各各他翻出來就是髑髏地），
15:23 拿沒藥調和的酒給耶穌，他卻不受。
15:24 於是將他釘在十字架上，拈鬮分他的衣服，看是誰得甚麼。
15:25 釘他在十字架上是巳初的時候。
15:26 在上面有他的罪狀，寫的是：「猶太人的王。」
15:27 他們又把兩個強盜和他同釘十字架，一個在右邊，一個在左邊。（有古卷加：
15:28 這就應了經上的話說：他被列在罪犯之中。）
15:29 從那裡經過的人辱罵他，搖著頭說：「咳！你這拆毀聖殿、三日又建造起來的，
15:30 可以救自己，從十字架上下來吧！」
15:31 祭司長和文士也是這樣戲弄他，彼此說：「他救了別人，不能救自己。
15:32 以色列的王基督，現在可以從十字架上下來，叫我們看見，就信了。」那和他同釘的人也是譏誚他。
21 A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.
25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.
27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [a] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

《希伯來書》2章14-16節：「兒女既同有血肉之體，他也照樣親自成了血肉之體，特要藉著死敗壞那掌死權的，就是魔鬼，並要釋放那些一生因怕死而為奴僕的人。他並不救拔天使，乃是救拔亞伯拉罕的後裔。」
主耶穌願意被釘死在十字架上，就是要完成上帝在他身上的旨意！《希伯來書》這段話將主耶穌為何要釘死在十字架上，說得十分清楚！主耶穌在十字架上不是失敗，不是羞辱，而是得勝！祂已經將罪和死勝過，更是勝過魔鬼！魔鬼的權勢已竟被主耶穌所敗壞了！
也因為這樣，主耶穌可以救拔亞伯拉罕的子孫，這不是人要先勝過肉體才有的，辦倒是我們是有血有肉的人，才能領受上帝在基督裡的救恩！因為我們承認我們有罪，才會需要耶穌基督的拯救！因為主耶穌已經勝過魔鬼，我們才有勝過罪與死的把握！雖然今天尚未完全，但是主耶穌再來上帝的國度完全實現時，我們也完全得贖之時，我們就真的不再犯罪、不再會有死亡，也就是沒有地獄火湖的第二次的死！
哈利路亞！我們不僅不會死，更要與基督同掌王權，直到永遠，阿們！
