John 19
1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.
Then therefore Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.
2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and put on him a purple robe, and approached him
3 And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.
and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and they gave him blows on the face.
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.”
Again Pilate went forth, and saith to them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find nothing criminal in him.
5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
Jesus therefore came forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And [[Pilate]] saith 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.”
When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify! crucify! Pilate saith to them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him; for I find nothing criminal 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 according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
When Pilate therefore heard this, he was the more afraid;
9 and he went back into the Praetorium. “Where are You from?” he asked. But Jesus gave no answer.
and went again into the palace, and saith to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
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?”
Pilate saith to him, Dost thou not speak to me? Dost thou not know that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?
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.”
Jesus answered, Thou wouldst have no power against me, unless it had been given thee from above; for this cause he that delivered me up to thee hath 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.”
From this time Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not a friend of Caesar. Every one that maketh himself a king, setteth himself against Caesar.
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.
When therefore Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down on the judgment-seat, in a place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, 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!”
Now it was the preparation of the passover. It was about the sixth hour. And he saith 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.
Upon this they cried out, Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him! Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your king? 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.
Then therefore he delivered him up to them to be crucified. They therefore took Jesus;
17 Carrying His own cross, He went out to The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
and bearing his own cross, he went forth into the place called Place of a Skull; in Hebrew, Golgotha;
18 There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.
19 Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, “Jesus the Nazarene, the 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 therefore was read by many of the Jews; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it 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.’”
Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, The king of the Jews; but that 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.
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
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.
They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. That the scripture might be fulfilled: “They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots.” These things 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 by the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary the 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.”
Jesus therefore, when he saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by, saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy 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 saith to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
28 After this, knowing that everything had now been accomplished, and to fulfill the Scripture, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now finished, in order that the Scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst.
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.
A vessel was brought full of vinegar; and putting a sponge filled with vinegar upon a stalk of hyssop, they raised it to his mouth.
30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.
When therefore he had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished! and he bowed his head, and 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.
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath, for that sabbath was a great day, besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be 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, and of the other who was crucified with him.
33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they broke not his legs;
34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.
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 that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true; and he knoweth that he saith what is true, that ye also may believe.
36 Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”
For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him shall not be broken.”
37 And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”
And again another scripture saith, “They shall look on him whom they 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.
And after this, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but concealing it for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. They came therefore and took him away.
39 Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.
Nicodemus also, he who at the first went to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.
40 So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.
Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the manner of the Jews in preparing for 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.
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, 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.
There then, on account of the Jews' preparation-day, they laid Jesus; for the tomb was at hand.
