John 19
1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.
After that Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged;
2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.
and the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, placed it on his head, and threw a purple cloak about him, and kept marching up to him,
3 And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.
saying, "Hail! King of the Jews!" They also gave him blow after blow with their hands.
4 Once again Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
Pilate again came forth and said to the people, "See, I am going to bring his out to you, that you may clearly know that I find no crime in him,"
5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
Then as Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, "BEHOLD, THE MAN!"
6 As soon as the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” “You take Him and crucify Him,” Pilate replied, “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
So when the chief priests and the police saw him, they shouted. "Crucify him! Crucify him!" "Take him yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate, "for I find no crime in him."
7 “We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”
The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself out to be God’s Son,"
8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
Now when Pilate heard these words he was more alarmed than ever,
9 and he went back into the Praetorium. “Where are You from?” he asked. But Jesus gave no answer.
and entering the Praetorium again, he said to Jesus, "What is your origin?"
10 So Pilate said to Him, “Do You refuse to speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You and authority to crucify You?”
Jesus made no answer. So Pilate said to him. "Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, or power to crucify you?"
11 Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”
"You would have no power over me," answered Jesus, "unless it had been given you from above. For this reason he who has betrayed me to you has the greater sin."
12 From then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who declares himself a king is defying Caesar.”
After that Pilate began to seek to release him, but the Jews shouted out. "If you release this man you are no friend of the Emperor. Any man who makes himself out to be king is a rebel against the Emperor."
13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha.
On hearing what they said, Pilate brought Jesus out and made him sit on the judge’s seat in a place called the Mosaic Pavement (the Hebrew name is Gabbatha).
14 It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about the sixth hour. And Pilate said to the Jews, “Here is your King!”
And it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about six o’clock in the morning. Then he said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"
15 At this, they shouted, “Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” “Shall I crucify your King?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” replied the chief priests.
Then they shouted. "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" "Crucify your King?" said Pilate. The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"
16 Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified, and the soldiers took Him away.
So then he gave him over to them to be crucified.
17 Carrying His own cross, He went out to The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
So they took Jesus, who went forth bearing his own cross, to a place called The Place of a Skull - in the Hebrew tongue, Golgotha.
18 There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
There they crucified him; and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.
19 Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
And Pilate moreover wrote an inscription and placed it above the cross. What he wrote was, "JESUS, THE NAZARENE, KING OF THE JEWS"
20 Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
This inscription was read by many of the Jews, because the place where they crucified Jesus was near the city, and the inscription was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but only that He said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”
So the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write ‘King of the Jews,’ but ‘He said, I am King of the Jews.’"
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written!"
23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
After the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, to each soldier a part, and the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom;
24 So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.
so the soldiers said one to another. "Let us not tear it. Let us draw lots, to see whose it shall be" - that the Scripture might be fulfilled. They divided my garments among them, For my raiment did they cast lots. This was what the soldiers did.
25 Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother and her sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
Now there stood near the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”
When Jesus saw his mother, and standing near her the disciple whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman behold your son."
27 Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” So from that hour, this disciple took her into his home.
Then he said to the disciple, "Behold your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her to his home.
28 After this, knowing that everything had now been accomplished, and to fulfill the Scripture, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
After that, when Jesus knew that everything was now accomplished, he said in fulfilment of the words of Scripture, "I am thirsty."
29 A jar of sour wine was sitting there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.
There was a jar full of vinegar standing there; and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon a stalk of hyssop, and put it to his lips.
30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.
Then after he had taken the vinegar, Jesus said, "IT IS FINISHED!" And bowing his head, he yielded up his spirit.
31 It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.
It was Preparation Day, so in order to prevent the bodies’ hanging on the cross during the Sabbath (for the Sabbath was a great day) the Jews begged Pilate to have the legs broken, and the bodies taken away.
32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and those of the other.
So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who had been crucified with him.
33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
But upon coming to Jesus they saw that he was already dead, and did not break his legs.
34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
35 The one who saw it has testified to this, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
And he who saw it has borne testimony, and his testimony is trustworthy, and he knows that he is telling the truth in order that you may believe.
36 Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”
For this happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Not one of his bones shall be broken.
37 And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”
And again another Scripture says, They shall look on him whom they have pierced.
38 Afterward, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed His body.
After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but in secret because of fear of the Jews, asked Pilate for permission to take the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took the body.
39 Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.
Nicodemus also (the one who visited Jesus by night, at first) came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.
40 So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.
So they took the body of Jesus and wound it in linen with the spices, according to the Jewish mode of burial.
41 Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
There was a garden near the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.
42 And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus there.
Here, because of its being Preparation Day, and as the tomb was near by, they placed Jesus.
