John 19
1 THEN Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
Therefore Pilate then took Jesus and scourged him.
2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
And the soldiers having woven a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and put around him a purple garment.
3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
And they said, Hail, king of the Jews! And they gave him slaps.
4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
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 Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
Jesus therefore came outside, wearing the thorny crown and the purple robe. And he says to them, Look at the man!
6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find 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 Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son 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 therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was more afraid.
9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
And he went into the Praetorium again, and says to Jesus, Where are thou from? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release 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 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
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 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Cæsar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Cæsar.
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 therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, 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 passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold 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 out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cæsar.
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 delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, 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 bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew 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 Jesus in the midst.
where they crucified him, and two others with him, on this side and that, and Jesus in the middle.
19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
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 Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
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 said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
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 have written I have written.
Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
23 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.
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 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, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
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 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary 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 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
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 saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
Then he says to the disciple, Behold, thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own place.
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, 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 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, 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 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up 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 Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day, ) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
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 soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
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 Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
But having come to Jesus, when they saw him now having died, they did not break his legs.
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith 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 saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
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 should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
For these things happened so that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him will be broken.
37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
And again another scripture says, They will look toward whom they pierced.
38 And after this Joseph of Arimathæa, 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 gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
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 at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
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 took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
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 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never 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 laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
Therefore because of the Jews' Preparation (because the sepulcher was near) they laid Jesus there.
