Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
    • B 39-40a And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself.
      • C 40b If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
    • B' 41-42a Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
      • C' 42b-43 If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
  • A' 44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
