John 19
1 So then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.
So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.
2 And the soldiers twisted a crown out of [poisonous] thorns and put it on His head; they also threw a purple robe around Him
The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.
3 and started saying, “Hail, O King of the Jews!” And they slapped Him repeatedly.
And they kept coming up to him and saying, "Greetings, King of the Jews." and they struck him with their hands.
4 Pilate then went out again and says to them, “Look, I am bringing him out to you so that you may know that I find no crime in him at all.”
Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, "Look, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him."
5 Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe; and Pilate says to them, “Look at the man!”
Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And he said to them, "Look, here is the man."
6 Well when the chief priests and the operatives saw Him they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!” Pilate says to them, “You take and crucify him, because I find no crime in him.”
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."
7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he made himself ‘Son of God’!”
The Jewish leaders answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."
8 Hey, when Pilate heard this statement he was more afraid than ever!
When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.
9 So back into the Praetorium he went and says to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus did not answer him.
He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 So Pilate says to Him: “Are you not speaking to me? Don't you know that I have authority to crucify you and authority to release you?”
Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you not speaking to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?"
11 Jesus answered: “You would have no authority over me at all if it had not been given to you from Above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin.”
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."
12 From that moment Pilate really tried to release Him; but the Jews kept shouting, saying: “If you release this fellow you are no friend of Caesar's! Whoever makes himself a king is opposing Caesar!”
At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jewish leaders shouted, saying, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."
13 Well, upon hearing this statement Pilate led Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat, in a place called ‘Stone Pavement’, while in Hebrew ‘Gabatha’
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."
14 (now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; the hour was about six a.m.), and he says to the Jews, “Look at your king!”
Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about noon. He said to the Jewish leaders, "Look, here is your King."
15 But they shouted, “Out! Out! Crucify him!” Pilate says to them, “Shall I crucify your king?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”
They shouted, "Away with him. Away with him. Crucify him." Pilate said to them, "Should I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."
16 So then he handed Him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and lead Him away.
So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus.
17 And carrying His cross He went out to the place called ‘Skull’, which in Hebrew is called ‘Golgotha’;
And he went out, carrying the cross himself, to the place called "The Place of a Skull," which is called in Hebrew, "Golgotha,"
18 there they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle.
where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.
19 Now Pilate had also written a notice, and put it on the cross; and the inscription was: JESUS THE NATSOREAN THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "JESUS THE NAZOREAN, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
20 So many of the Jews read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; further, it was written in Hebrew, Greek and Latin!
Therefore many 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 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Don't write, ‘The king of the Jews’, but that the fellow said, ‘I am the king of the Jews.’”
The chief priests of the Jewish people therefore said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The 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 Now when the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took His clothes and made four parts, a part for each soldier. They also took His tunic, but the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top.
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes 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 So they said among themselves, “Let's not rip it, but toss for it, to see whose it will be,” so that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: “They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot.” That is why the soldiers did these things.
Then they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, "They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot." Therefore the soldiers did these things.
25 Now Jesus' mother and her sister, Mary of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene were standing by His cross.
But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 So Jesus, seeing His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He says to His mother, “Woman, there is your son!”
Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman, look, your son."
27 Then He says to the disciple, “There is your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
Then he said to the disciple, "Look, your mother." From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
28 After this, knowing that everything was now accomplished so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus says, “I'm thirsty!”
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty."
29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; so they filled a sponge with sour wine, placed it on a hyssop, and put it to His mouth.
A vessel full of sour wine was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.
30 Then, when He had received the sour wine, Jesus said, “Paid in full!” And bowing His head He dismissed His spirit.
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished." He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.
31 Now then, because it was Preparation Day, so that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews requested Pilate that their legs might be broken and they be removed.
Therefore the Jewish leaders, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies would not 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.
32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been crucified with Him.
Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him;
33 But upon coming to Jesus, they did not break His legs, since they saw that He had already died.
but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35 And the one who saw has testified, and his testimony is true (yes, he knows he is telling the truth), so that you may believe.
He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.
36 Because these things happened so that the Scripture should be fulfilled: “Not a bone of His will be broken.”
For these things happened, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him will not be broken."
37 And again another Scripture says: “They will look on Him whom they pierced.”
Again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they pierced."
38 After these things Joseph, the one from Arimathea (being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews), requested Pilate that he might remove the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave permission. So he came and removed Jesus' body.
After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jewish leaders, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.
39 Now Nicodemus also came (the one who at first came to Jesus by night), bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.
Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.
40 Then they took Jesus' body and wrapped it in linen strips, with the aromatic spices, according to the burial custom of the Jews.
So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, according to Jewish burial practice.
41 Now at the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been buried.
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no one had ever yet been placed.
42 So that is where they put Jesus, because of the Jews' Preparation Day, since the tomb was nearby.
Then because of the Jewish Preparation Day (for the tomb was nearby) they put Jesus there.
