John 19
1 So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.
Then therefore Pilate 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 platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and put on him a purple robe, and approached him
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 gave him blows on the face.
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."
Again Pilate went forth, and saith to them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find nothing criminal 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."
Jesus therefore came forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And [[Pilate]] saith to them, Behold 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 therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify! crucify! Pilate saith to them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him; for I find nothing criminal 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 him, We have a law, and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.
When Pilate therefore heard this, 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 went again into the palace, and saith to Jesus, Whence art thou? 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?"
Pilate saith to him, Dost thou not speak to me? Dost thou not know that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?
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, Thou wouldst have no power against me, unless it had been given thee from above; for this cause he that delivered me up to thee hath 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."
From this time Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not a friend of Caesar. Every one that maketh himself a king, setteth himself against Caesar.
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."
When therefore Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down on the judgment-seat, in a place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about noon. He said to the Jewish leaders, "Look, here is your King."
Now it was the preparation of the passover. It was about the sixth hour. And he saith to the Jews, Behold your king!
15 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."
Upon this they cried out, Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him! Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus.
Then therefore he delivered him up to them to be crucified. They therefore took Jesus;
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 own cross, he went forth into the place called Place of a Skull; 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 midst.
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 an inscription also, 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.
This inscription therefore was read by many of the Jews; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
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.'"
Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, The king of the Jews; but that 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 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 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.
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.
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: “They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots.” These things the soldiers did.
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 Clopas, and Mary the 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."
Jesus therefore, when he saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by, saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27 Then he said to the disciple, "Look, your mother." From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
Then he saith to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty."
After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now finished, in order that the Scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst.
29 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.
A vessel was brought full of vinegar; and putting a sponge filled with vinegar upon a stalk of hyssop, they raised 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.
When therefore he had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished! and he bowed his head, and yielded 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.
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath, for that sabbath was a great day, besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 Therefore the soldiers came, and 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, and of the other who was crucified with him.
33 but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they broke not his legs;
34 However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.
35 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.
And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true; and he knoweth that he saith what is true, that ye also may believe.
36 For these things happened, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him will not be broken."
For these things came to pass, 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 saith, “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.
And after this, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but concealing it for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. They came therefore and took him away.
39 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.
Nicodemus also, he who at the first went to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.
40 So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, according to Jewish burial practice.
Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the manner of the Jews in preparing for burial.
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.
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.
42 Then because of the Jewish Preparation Day (for the tomb was nearby) they put Jesus there.
There then, on account of the Jews' preparation-day, they laid Jesus; for the tomb was at hand.
