John 19
1 Therefore, Pilate then took Jesus into custody and scourged him.
THEN Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
2 And the soldiers, plaiting a crown of thorns, imposed it on his head. And they put a purple garment around him.
And the soldiers having platted a crown of thorns, put it on his head, and they clothed him in a purple robe,
3 And they were approaching him and saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they struck him repeatedly.
and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they gave him slaps on the face with their hands.
4 Then Pilate went outside again, and he said to them: “Behold, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may realize that I find no case against him.”
Then again went Pilate out, and said to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault at all.
5 (Then Jesus went out, bearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment.) And he said to them, “Behold the man.”
Then came Jesus out, bearing the thorny crown, and the purple robe. And he said to them, Behold the man!
6 Therefore, when the high priests and the attendants had seen him, they cried out, saying: “Crucify him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them: “Take him yourselves and crucify him. For I find no case against him.”
When the chief priests therefore and the officers saw him, they cried vociferously, saying, Crucify him! crucify him! Pilate saith to them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I have not found in him a fault.
7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to the law, he ought to die, for he has made himself the Son of God.”
The Jews replied to him, We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he hath made himself the Son of God.
8 Therefore, when Pilate had heard this word, he was more fearful.
When Pilate then heard this saying, he was the more afraid:
9 And he entered into the praetorium again. And he said to Jesus. “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no response.
and entered into the praetorium again, and saith to Jesus, From whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Therefore, Pilate said to him: “Will you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to crucify you, and I have authority to release you?”
Then saith Pilate to him, Dost thou not speak to me? dost thou not know that I have power to crucify thee, and that I have power to release thee?
11 Jesus responded, “You would not have any authority over me, unless it were given to you from above. For this reason, he who has handed me over to you has the greater sin.”
Jesus answered, Thou wouldest have had no authority over me, unless it had been given thee from above: for this reason, he that hath delivered me up to thee hath the greater crime.
12 And from then on, Pilate was seeking to release him. But the Jews were crying out, saying: “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. For anyone who makes himself a king contradicts Caesar.”
Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews clamoured, saying, If thou release this fellow, thou art no friend of Caesar’s: every one who professes himself a king, speaks in opposition to Caesar.
13 Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus outside, and he sat down in the seat of judgment, in a place which is called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, it is called the Elevation.
When Pilate therefore heard this speech, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat, in a place called the Stone Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 Now it was the preparation day of the Passover, about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold your king.”
And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith to the Jews, Behold your King!
15 But they were crying out: “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your king?” The high priests responded, “We have no king except Caesar.”
But they cried vociferously, Away with him, away! crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16 Therefore, he then handed him over to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away.
Then delivered he him therefore unto them, that he should be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away.
17 And carrying his own cross, he went forth to the place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew it is called the Place of the Skull.
And carrying his cross he went forth to a place called the Place of a Skull, which in the Hebrew is termed 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 two others with him, on this side and on that, and in the midst Jesus.
19 Then Pilate also wrote a title, and he set it above the cross. And it was written: Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews.
And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And this was the writing: JESUS THE NAZAREAN, THE KING OF THE JEWS,
20 Therefore, many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was close to the city. And it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.
This title then many of the Jews read: for the spot where Jesus was crucified was nigh unto the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.
21 Then the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Do not write, ‘King of the Jews,’ but that he said, ‘I am King of the Jews.’
The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
22 Pilate responded, “What I have written, I have written.”
Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified him, took his garments, and they made four parts, one part to each soldier, and the tunic. But the tunic was seamless, woven from above throughout the whole.
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, for each soldier a part; and his vest: now the vest was without a seam, woven from the upper parts throughout the whole.
24 Then they said to one another, “Let us not cut it, but instead let us cast lots over it, to see whose it will be.” This was so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, saying: “They have distributed my garments among themselves, and for my vesture they have cast lots.” And indeed, the soldiers did these things.
They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, “They parted my garments among them, and for my vest they cast lots.” So the soldiers therefore did these things.
25 And standing beside the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, and Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
Now beside the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 Therefore, when Jesus had seen his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold your son.”
When Jesus then beheld his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing by, he saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27 Next, he said to the disciple, “Behold your mother.” And from that hour, the disciple accepted her as his own.
Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home.
28 After this, Jesus knew that all had been accomplished, so in order that the Scripture might be completed, he said, “I thirst.”
After this, Jesus, conscious that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29 And there was a container placed there, full of vinegar. Then, placing a sponge full of vinegar around hyssop, they brought it to his mouth.
Now there was placed a vessel full of vinegar: they then filling a spunge with the vinegar, and putting it on a stick of hyssop, carried it to his mouth.
30 Then Jesus, when he had received the vinegar, said: “It is consummated.” And bowing down his head, he surrendered his spirit.
When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and inclining his head, he surrendered up his spirit.
31 Then the Jews, because it was the preparation day, so that the bodies would not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a great day), they petitioned Pilate in order that their legs might be broken, and they might be taken away.
The Jews therefore, as it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, (for that sabbath-day was a great day, ) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 Therefore, the soldiers approached, and, indeed, they broke the legs of the first one, and of the other who was crucified with him.
Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him.
33 But after they had approached Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
But when they came to Jesus, as they saw that he was already dead, they brake not his legs:
34 Instead, one of the soldiers opened his side with a lance, and immediately there went out blood and water.
but one of the soldiers with his lance pierced his side, and immediately there gushed out blood and water.
35 And he who saw this has offered testimony, and his testimony is true. And he knows that he speaks the truth, so that you also may believe.
And he that saw it bore witness, and we know that his testimony is true: and he himself is conscious that he speaketh what is true, that ye might believe.
36 For these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “You shall not break a bone of him.”
Now these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him shall not be broken.”
37 And again, another Scripture says: “They shall look upon him, whom they have pierced.”
And again another scripture saith, “They shall look on him whom they have pierced.”
38 Then, after these things, Joseph from Arimathea, (because he was a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews) petitioned Pilate so that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave permission. Therefore, he went and took away the body of Jesus.
And after these things Joseph of Arimathea, (being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, ) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus and Pilate permitted him. Then he came and took away the body of Jesus.
39 Now Nicodemus also arrived, (who had gone to Jesus at first by night) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloe, weighing about seventy pounds.
And Nicodemus, who had come to Jesus by night formerly, came also, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred weight.
40 Therefore, they took the body of Jesus, and they bound it with linen cloths and the aromatic spices, just as it is the manner of the Jews to bury.
Then they took the body, and bound it with swathes together with the aromatics, as the custom is with the Jews to bury.
41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden there was a new tomb, in which no one had yet been laid.
And there was near the spot were he was crucified a garden and in the garden a new tomb, wherein no person had ever yet been laid.
42 Therefore, because of the preparation day of the Jews, since the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus there.
Because of the preparation of the Jews therefore, they laid Jesus there; for the sepulchre was just by.
