John 19
1 Then therefore Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.
So then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.
2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and put on him a purple robe, and approached him
And the soldiers twisted a crown out of [poisonous] thorns and put it on His head; they also threw a purple robe around Him
3 and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and they gave him blows on the face.
and started saying, “Hail, O King of the Jews!” And they slapped Him repeatedly.
4 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.
Pilate then went out again and says to them, “Look, I am bringing him out to you so that you may know that I find no crime in him at all.”
5 Jesus therefore came forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And [[Pilate]] saith to them, Behold the man!
Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe; and Pilate says to them, “Look at the man!”
6 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.
Well when the chief priests and the operatives saw Him they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!” Pilate says to them, “You take and crucify him, because I find no crime in him.”
7 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.
The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he made himself ‘Son of God’!”
8 When Pilate therefore heard this, he was the more afraid;
Hey, when Pilate heard this statement he was more afraid than ever!
9 and went again into the palace, and saith to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
So back into the Praetorium he went and says to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus did not answer him.
10 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?
So Pilate says to Him: “Are you not speaking to me? Don't you know that I have authority to crucify you and authority to release you?”
11 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.
Jesus answered: “You would have no authority over me at all if it had not been given to you from Above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin.”
12 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.
From that moment Pilate really tried to release Him; but the Jews kept shouting, saying: “If you release this fellow you are no friend of Caesar's! Whoever makes himself a king is opposing Caesar!”
13 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.
Well, upon hearing this statement Pilate led Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat, in a place called ‘Stone Pavement’, while in Hebrew ‘Gabatha’
14 Now it was the preparation of the passover. It was about the sixth hour. And he saith to the Jews, Behold your king!
(now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; the hour was about six a.m.), and he says to the Jews, “Look at your king!”
15 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.
But they shouted, “Out! Out! Crucify him!” Pilate says to them, “Shall I crucify your king?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”
16 Then therefore he delivered him up to them to be crucified. They therefore took Jesus;
So then he handed Him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and lead Him away.
17 and bearing his own cross, he went forth into the place called Place of a Skull; in Hebrew, Golgotha;
And carrying His cross He went out to the place called ‘Skull’, which in Hebrew is called ‘Golgotha’;
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.
there they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle.
19 And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, “Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews.”
Now Pilate had also written a notice, and put it on the cross; and the inscription was: JESUS THE NATSOREAN THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 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.
So many of the Jews read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; further, it was written in Hebrew, Greek and Latin!
21 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.
So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Don't write, ‘The king of the Jews’, but that the fellow 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 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.
Now when the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took His clothes and made four parts, a part for each soldier. They also took His tunic, but the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top.
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: “They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots.” These things the soldiers did.
So they said among themselves, “Let's not rip it, but toss for it, to see whose it will be,” so that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: “They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot.” That is why the soldiers did these things.
25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary the Magdalene.
Now Jesus' mother and her sister, Mary of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene were standing by His cross.
26 Jesus therefore, when he saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by, saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
So Jesus, seeing His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He says to His mother, “Woman, there is your son!”
27 Then he saith to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
Then He says to the disciple, “There is your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now finished, in order that the Scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst.
After this, knowing that everything was now accomplished so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus says, “I'm thirsty!”
29 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.
Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; so they filled a sponge with sour wine, placed it on a hyssop, and put it to His mouth.
30 When therefore he had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished! and he bowed his head, and yielded up his spirit.
Then, when He had received the sour wine, Jesus said, “Paid in full!” And bowing His head He dismissed His spirit.
31 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.
Now then, because it was Preparation Day, so that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews requested Pilate that their legs might be broken and they be removed.
32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him.
Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been crucified with Him.
33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they broke not his legs;
But upon coming to Jesus, they did not break His legs, since they saw that He had already died.
34 but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.
But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35 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.
And the one who saw has testified, and his testimony is true (yes, he knows he is telling the truth), so that you may believe.
36 For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him shall not be broken.”
Because these things happened so that the Scripture should be fulfilled: “Not a bone of His 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 on Him whom they pierced.”
38 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.
After these things Joseph, the one from Arimathea (being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews), requested Pilate that he might remove the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave permission. So he came and removed Jesus' body.
39 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.
Now Nicodemus also came (the one who at first came to Jesus by night), bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.
40 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.
Then they took Jesus' body and wrapped it in linen strips, with the aromatic spices, according to the burial custom of the Jews.
41 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.
Now at the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been buried.
42 There then, on account of the Jews' preparation-day, they laid Jesus; for the tomb was at hand.
So that is where they put Jesus, because of the Jews' Preparation Day, since the tomb was nearby.
