John 19
1 So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.
Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus and scourged him.
2 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.
And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorn-branches, and put it upon his head; and they put on him a purple robe,
3 And they kept coming up to him and saying, "Greetings, King of the Jews." and they struck him with their hands.
and said: Hail, King of the Jews. And they struck him with their open hands.
4 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."
Then Pilate came out again, and said to them: Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in him.
5 Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And he said to them, "Look, here is the man."
Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorn-branches, and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them: Be hold the man!
6 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."
When the chief priests and their attendants saw him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate said to them: Do you take him and crucify him; for I find no fault in him.
7 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."
The Jews answered: We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.
Then, when Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid;
9 He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
and he went into the governor’s palace again, and said to Jesus: Whence are you? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 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?"
Then Pilate said to him: Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to crucify you, and authority to release you?
11 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."
Jesus answered: You could have no authority over me, had it not been given you from above. Therefore, he that delivered me to you, has the greater sin.
12 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."
After this Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If you release this man, you are not Cæsar’s friend. Every one that makes himself a king, speaks against Cæsar
13 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."

it was the preparation for the passover, and about the third hour; and he said to the Jews, Behold your king!
15 They shouted, "Away with him. Away with him. Crucify him." Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."
But they cried out: Away with him, away with him; crucify him! Pilate said to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Cæsar
16 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus.
Then he, therefore, delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
17 And he went out, carrying the cross himself, to the place called "The Place of a Skull," which is called in Hebrew, "Golgotha,"
And, bearing his cross, he went forth into a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called, in Hebrew, Golgotha,
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.
where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "JESUS THE NAZOREAN, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
And Pilate wrote a superscription, and put it on the cross; and the writing was, JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 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.
Therefore many of the Jews read this superscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. And it was written in Hebrew and in Greek and in Latin.
21 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.'"
Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not, The king of the Jews; but, that he said, I am the 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 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.
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothing, and made four parts, to each soldier a part; and they took his coat also. Now his coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 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.
Then they said, one to another, let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. This was done that the scripture might be fulfilled, which says: They divided my clothing among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. The soldiers, therefore, did these things.
25 But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman, look, your son."
Then Jesus, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing by, said to his mother: Woman, behold your son.
27 Then he said to the disciple, "Look, your mother." From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

Now a vessel full of vinegar had been set there; and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon a hyssop-stalk, and put it to his mouth.
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished." He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

31 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.
Then the Jews, 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 down.
32 Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him;
Then came the soldiers and broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him.
33 but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

34 However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

35 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.

for these things were done that the scripture might be fulfilled: A bone of him shall not be broken.
37 Again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they pierced."
And again another scripture says: They shall look on him whom they pierced.
38 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.

40 So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, according to Jewish burial practice.

41 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.
