So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him.
The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.
They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.

Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”

Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”

When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.”

The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”
When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.
He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

Pilate therefore said to him, “Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?”

Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”

At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”

When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement”, but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”
Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ϥⲓⲧϥ ϥⲓⲧϥ ⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲣⲣⲟ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲛ ⲕⲉⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲕⲁⲓⲥⲁⲣ
They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”
So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.
He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”,
where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲁⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲓⲧⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲟϭϥ ⲉⲡⲉⲥ⳨ⲟⲥ ⲛⲉϥ ⲥⲏϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲛⲁⲍⲱⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ
Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
20 ⲕ̅ ⲡⲉⲓⲧⲓⲧⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϩⲁϩ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲟϣϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲏϩ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϩⲉⲃⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϩⲣⲱⲙⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲉⲓⲉⲛⲓⲛ
Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲥⲁϩϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲡⲏⲏ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ
The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, “I am King of the Jews.”’”
Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲡⲉϥϩⲟⲓⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲛϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲕⲉϣⲧⲏⲛ ⲧⲉϣⲧⲏⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲧⲟⲣⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲉϫⲱⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲁϩ ϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉⲛⲡⲁϩⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲛⲉⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲛⲁⲣ ⲧⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲡⲉϣ ⲛⲁϩⲟⲓⲧⲉ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲛⲉϫ ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲁϩⲃⲥⲱ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁⲩⲣ ⲛⲁⲓ
Then they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They parted my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.
25 ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ ⲛⲉⲩⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲥ⳨ⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲛⲕⲗⲱⲡⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲙⲁⲅⲇⲁⲗⲏⲛⲏ
But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ
Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”
Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”
29 ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲛⲁⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲕⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⲛϩⲙϫ ⲟⲩⲥⲡⲟⲅⲅⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲙϫ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲩⲥⲥⲱⲡⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲧⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲉϥⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ
Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.
Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him;
but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.
However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.
For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”
Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”

After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.
39 ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲟⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲓⲕⲟⲇⲏⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲓ ϣⲁ ⲓⲥ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲁϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲓⲅⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲁⲗ ϩⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲱⲓ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲣ ϣⲉ ⲛⲗⲓⲧⲣⲁ
Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.
So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
41 ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥ⳨ⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ ⲛⲃⲣⲣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϣⲛⲏ ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲟⲩⲕⲁ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.
Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there.
