< John 19 >

1 Then Pilate tooke Iesus and scourged him.
Therefore Pilate then took Jesus and scourged him.
2 And the souldiers platted a crowne of thornes, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple garment,
And the soldiers having woven a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and put around him a purple garment.
3 And saide, Haile, King of the Iewes. And they smote him with their roddes.
And they said, Hail, king of the Jews! And they gave him slaps.
4 Then Pilate went foorth againe, and said vnto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may knowe, that I finde no fault in him at all.
Therefore Pilate again went forth outside, and says to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, so that ye may know that I find not one cause in him.
5 Then came Iesus foorth wearing a crowne of thornes, and a purple garment. And Pilate said vnto them, Beholde the man.
Jesus therefore came outside, wearing the thorny crown and the purple robe. And he says to them, Look at the man!
6 Then when the hie Priests and officers sawe him, they cried, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him. Pilate said vnto them, Take yee him and crucifie him: for I finde no fault in him.
When therefore the chief priests and the subordinates saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Ye take him and crucify, for I find no cause in him.
7 The Iewes answered him, We haue a lawe, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himselfe the Sonne of God.
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God.
8 When Pilate then heard that woorde, he was the more afraide,
When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was more afraid.
9 And went againe into the common hall, and saide vnto Iesus, Whence art thou? But Iesus gaue him none answere.
And he went into the Praetorium again, and says to Jesus, Where are thou from? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then saide Pilate vnto him, Speakest thou not vnto me? Knowest thou not that I haue power to crucifie thee, and haue power to loose thee?
Pilate therefore says to him, Thou do not speak to me? Know thou not that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?
11 Iesus answered, Thou couldest haue no power at all against me, except it were giuen thee from aboue: therefore he that deliuered me vnto thee, hath the greater sinne.
Jesus answered him, Thou would have no authority against me, unless it were given thee from above. Because of this he who delivered me to thee has greater sin.
12 From thence foorth Pilate sought to loose him, but the Iewes cried, saying, If thou deliuer him, thou art not Cesars friende: for whosoeuer maketh himselfe a King, speaketh against Cesar.
From this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou are not Caesar's friend. Every man who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.
13 When Pilate heard this woorde, hee brought Iesus foorth, and sate downe in the iudgement seate in a place called the Pauement, and in Hebrewe, Gabbatha.
When Pilate therefore heard this word, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 And it was the Preparation of the Passeouer, and about the sixt houre: and hee sayde vnto the Iewes, Beholde your King.
Now it was the Preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, Look at your king!
15 But they cried, Away with him, away with him, crucifie him. Pilate sayde vnto them, Shall I crucifie your King? The high Priestes answered, We haue no King but Cesar.
But they cried out, Away, away, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king except Caesar.
16 Then deliuered he him vnto them, to be crucified. And they tooke Iesus, and led him away.
Therefore he then delivered him to them, so that he might be crucified, and they took and led Jesus away.
17 And he bare his owne crosse, and came into a place named of dead mens Skulles, which is called in Hebrewe, Golgotha:
And he went out bearing his cross to a place called, of a Skull, a place that is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,
18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Iesus in the middes.
where they crucified him, and two others with him, on this side and that, and Jesus in the middle.
19 And Pilate wrote also a title, and put it on the crosse, and it was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWES.
And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And it was written, JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 This title then read many of the Iewes: for the place where Iesus was crucified, was neere to the citie: and it was written in Hebrewe, Greeke and Latine.
Therefore many of the Jews read this title, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Latin.
21 Then saide the hie Priests of the Iewes to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Iewes, but that he sayd, I am King of the Iewes.
Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but, That man said I am king of the Jews.
22 Pilate answered, What I haue written, I haue written.
Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
23 Then the souldiers, when they had crucified Iesus, tooke his garments (and made foure partes, to euery souldier a part) and his coat: and the coat was without seame wouen from the toppe throughout.
The soldiers therefore when they crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. But the tunic was a seamless weave, from the top throughout.
24 Therefore they sayde one to another, Let vs not deuide it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. This was that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which sayth, They parted my garments among them, and on my coate did cast lots. So the souldiers did these things in deede.
They said therefore among themselves, Let us not divide it, but cast a lot for it, whose it will be, so that the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast a lot. Therefore the soldiers indeed did these things.
25 Then stoode by the crosse of Iesus his mother, and his mothers sister, Marie the wife of Cleopas, and Marie Magdalene.
And his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene had stood near the cross of Jesus.
26 And when Iesus sawe his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loued, he said vnto his mother, Woman, beholde thy sonne.
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by, he says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.
27 Then saide he to the disciple, Beholde thy mother: and from that houre, the disciple tooke her home vnto him.
Then he says to the disciple, Behold, thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own place.
28 After, when Iesus knew that all things were performed, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, he said, I thirst.
After this, Jesus, having seen that all things are now completed, so that the scripture might be fully complete, says, I thirst.
29 And there was set a vessell full of vineger: and they filled a spondge with vineger: and put it about an Hyssope stalke, and put it to his mouth.
Therefore a vessel full of vinegar was set there. And having filled a sponge with the vinegar, and having put it around a hyssop, they brought it to his mouth.
30 Nowe when Iesus had receiued of the vineger, he saide, It is finished, and bowed his head, and gaue vp the ghost.
When therefore Jesus received the vinegar, he said, It is finished, and after bowing his head, he gave up the spirit.
31 The Iewes then (because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remaine vpon the crosse on the Sabbath day: for that Sabbath was an hie day) besought Pilate that their legges might be broken, and that they might be taken downe.
The Jews therefore, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was Preparation (for it was the high day of that sabbath), they besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they might be removed.
32 Then came the souldiers and brake the legges of the first, and of the other, which was crucified with Iesus.
The soldiers therefore came, and indeed broke the legs of the first, and of the other man who was crucified with him.
33 But when they came to Iesus, and saw that he was dead alreadie, they brake not his legges.
But having come to Jesus, when they saw him now having died, they did not break his legs.
34 But one of the souldiers with a speare pearced his side, and foorthwith came there out blood and water.
But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and straightaway blood and water came out.
35 And he that sawe it, bare recorde, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might beleeue it.
And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. And that man knows that he speaks true, so that ye may believe.
36 For these things were done, that the Scripture shoulde be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shalbe broken.
For these things happened so that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him will be broken.
37 And againe an other Scripture saith, They shall see him whom they haue thrust through.
And again another scripture says, They will look toward whom they pierced.
38 And after these things, Ioseph of Arimathea (who was a disciple of Iesus, but secretly for feare of the Iewes) besought Pilate that he might take downe the bodie of Iesus. And Pilate gaue him licence. He came then and tooke Iesus body.
And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because of fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might remove the body of Jesus, and Pilate allowed him. Therefore he came and removed the body of Jesus.
39 And there came also Nicodemus (which first came to Iesus by night) and brought of myrrhe and aloes mingled together about an hundreth pound.
And Nicodemus also came (he who at the first came to Jesus by night) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.
40 Then tooke they the body of Iesus, and wrapped it in linnen clothes with the odours, as the maner of the Iewes is to burie.
So they took the body of Jesus, and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, just as is the custom of the Jews to bury.
41 And in that place where Iesus was crucified, was a garden, and in the garden a newe sepulchre, wherein was neuer man yet laid.
Now a garden was in the place where he was crucified, and in the garden a new sepulcher in which no man was yet laid.
42 There then laide they Iesus, because of the Iewes Preparation day, for the sepulchre was neere.
Therefore because of the Jews' Preparation (because the sepulcher was near) they laid Jesus there.
