Gospel of Matthew
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg

In this passage from the Gospel of Matthew, Steve Gregg discusses the details of Jesus' crucifixion. He notes that Simon of Cyrene was likely forced to carry Jesus' cross and that the Romans used sour wine mixed with gall as a type of anesthesia. Additionally, Gregg suggests that the two thieves crucified alongside Jesus may have been partners of Barabbas and that their words and actions while on the cross were intended to mock and misquote Jesus. Overall, the passage provides insight into the historical and cultural context of Jesus' crucifixion.
