John 19
1 Then, therefore, Pilate took Jesus and scourged [Him],
After that Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged;
2 and the soldiers having plaited a garland of thorns, placed [it] on His head, and they cast a purple garment around Him,
and the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, placed it on his head, and threw a purple cloak about him, and kept marching up to him,
3 and said, “Hail! The King of the Jews”; and they were giving Him slaps.
saying, "Hail! King of the Jews!" They also gave him blow after blow with their hands.
4 Pilate, therefore, again went forth outside and says to them, “Behold, I bring Him to you outside, that you may know that I find no fault in Him”;
Pilate again came forth and said to the people, "See, I am going to bring his out to you, that you may clearly know that I find no crime in him,"
5 Jesus, therefore, came forth outside, bearing the thorny garland and the purple garment; and he says to them, “Behold, the Man!”
Then as Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, "BEHOLD, THE MAN!"
6 When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate says to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify, for I find no fault in Him”;
So when the chief priests and the police saw him, they shouted. "Crucify him! Crucify him!" "Take him yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate, "for I find no crime in him."
7 the Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, for He made Himself Son of God.”
The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself out to be God’s Son,"
8 When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was more afraid,
Now when Pilate heard these words he was more alarmed than ever,
9 and entered again into the Praetorium and says to Jesus, “Where are You from?” And Jesus gave him no answer.
and entering the Praetorium again, he said to Jesus, "What is your origin?"
10 Pilate, therefore, says to Him, “Do You not speak to me? Have You not known that I have authority to crucify You, and I have authority to release You?”
Jesus made no answer. So Pilate said to him. "Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, or power to crucify you?"
11 Jesus answered, “You would have no authority against Me if it were not having been given you from above; because of this, he who is delivering Me up to you has greater sin.”
"You would have no power over me," answered Jesus, "unless it had been given you from above. For this reason he who has betrayed me to you has the greater sin."
12 From this [time] Pilate was seeking to release Him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, “If you may release this One, you are not a friend of Caesar; everyone making himself a king speaks against Caesar.”
After that Pilate began to seek to release him, but the Jews shouted out. "If you release this man you are no friend of the Emperor. Any man who makes himself out to be king is a rebel against the Emperor."
13 Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus outside—and he sat down on the judgment seat—to a place called, “Pavement,” and in Hebrew, Gabbatha;
On hearing what they said, Pilate brought Jesus out and made him sit on the judge’s seat in a place called the Mosaic Pavement (the Hebrew name is Gabbatha).
14 and it was the Preparation of the Passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he says to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”
And it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about six o’clock in the morning. Then he said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"
15 And they cried out, “Take away! Take away! Crucify Him!” Pilate says to them, “Will I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar.”
Then they shouted. "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" "Crucify your King?" said Pilate. The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"
16 Then, therefore, he delivered Him up to them, that He may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led [Him] away,
So then he gave him over to them to be crucified.
17 and carrying His cross, He went forth to the [place] called “Place of [the] Skull,” which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha—
So they took Jesus, who went forth bearing his own cross, to a place called The Place of a Skull - in the Hebrew tongue, Golgotha.
18 where they crucified Him, and with Him two others, on this side and on that side, but Jesus in the middle.
There they crucified him; and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.
19 And Pilate also wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross, and it was written: “JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS”;
And Pilate moreover wrote an inscription and placed it above the cross. What he wrote was, "JESUS, THE NAZARENE, KING OF THE JEWS"
20 therefore many of the Jews read this title, because the place was near to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Latin.
This inscription was read by many of the Jews, because the place where they crucified Jesus was near the city, and the inscription was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, “Do not write, The King of the Jews, but that this One said, I am King of the Jews”;
So the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write ‘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 The soldiers, therefore, when they crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout;
After the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, to each soldier a part, and the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom;
24 they said, therefore, to one another, “We may not tear it, but cast a lot for it, whose it will be”; that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, “They divided My garments to themselves, and they cast a lot for My clothing”; the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.
so the soldiers said one to another. "Let us not tear it. Let us draw lots, to see whose it shall be" - that the Scripture might be fulfilled. They divided my garments among them, For my raiment did they cast lots. This was what the soldiers did.
25 And there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene;
Now there stood near the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 Jesus, therefore, having seen [His] mother, and the disciple standing by, whom He was loving, He says to His mother, “Woman, behold, your son”;
When Jesus saw his mother, and standing near her the disciple whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman behold your son."
27 afterward He says to the disciple, “Behold, your mother”; and from that hour the disciple took her to his own [home].
Then he said to the disciple, "Behold your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her to his home.
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things have now been accomplished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, says, “I thirst”;
After that, when Jesus knew that everything was now accomplished, he said in fulfilment of the words of Scripture, "I am thirsty."
29 a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put [it] around a hyssop stalk, they put [it] to His mouth;
There was a jar full of vinegar standing there; and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon a stalk of hyssop, and put it to his lips.
30 when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, He said, “It has been accomplished.” And having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.
Then after he had taken the vinegar, Jesus said, "IT IS FINISHED!" And bowing his head, he yielded up his spirit.
31 The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the Sabbath, since it was the Preparation (for that Sabbath day was a great one), asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they [are] taken away.
It was Preparation Day, so in order to prevent the bodies’ hanging on the cross during the Sabbath (for the Sabbath was a great day) the Jews begged Pilate to have the legs broken, and the bodies taken away.
32 The soldiers, therefore, came, and they indeed broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him,
So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who had been crucified with him.
33 and having come to Jesus, when they saw Him already having been dead, they did not break His legs;
But upon coming to Jesus they saw that he was already dead, and did not break his legs.
34 but one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately there came forth blood and water;
One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
35 and he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true, and that one has known that he speaks true things, that you also may believe.
And he who saw it has borne testimony, and his testimony is trustworthy, and he knows that he is telling the truth in order that you may believe.
36 For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, “A bone of Him will not be broken”;
For this happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Not one of his bones shall be broken.
37 and again another Writing says, “They will look to Him whom they pierced.”
And again another Scripture says, They shall look on him whom they have pierced.
38 And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea—being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews—asked of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,
After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but in secret because of fear of the Jews, asked Pilate for permission to take the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took the body.
39 and Nicodemus also came—who came to Jesus by night at the first—carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, one hundred pounds.
Nicodemus also (the one who visited Jesus by night, at first) came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.
40 Therefore they took the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;
So they took the body of Jesus and wound it in linen with the spices, according to the Jewish mode of burial.
41 and there was a garden in the place where He was crucified, and a new tomb in the garden, in which no one was yet laid;
There was a garden near the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.
42 therefore, because the tomb was near, there they laid Jesus because of the Preparation of the Jews.
Here, because of its being Preparation Day, and as the tomb was near by, they placed Jesus.
