John 19
1 Then Pylate toke Iesus and scourged him.
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
2 And ye soudiers wounde a croune of thornes and put it on his heed. And they dyd on him a purple garment
The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on His head, and they put a purple robe on Him.
3 and sayd: hayll kynge of the Iewes: and they smote him on the face.
They kept coming up to Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him on the face.
4 Pylate went forthe agayne and sayde vnto them: beholde I bringe him forth to you that ye maye knowe that I fynde no faute in him.
Pilate then went out again, and told the Jews, “Look, I’m bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
5 Then came Iesus forthe wearynge a croune of thorne and a robe of purple. And Pylate sayd vnto them: beholde ye man.
Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, and Pilate said to them, “Look! Here is the man!”
6 When the hye Prestes and ministres sawe him they cryed sayinge: crucify him crucify him. Pylate sayde vnto them. Take ye him and crucify him: for I fynde no cause in him.
When the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” Pilate told them, “You take Him and crucify Him, because I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
7 The Iewes answered him. We have a lawe and by oure lawe he ought to dye: because he made him selfe the sonne of God.
The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, because He claimed to be God’s Son.”
8 When Pylate hearde that sayinge he was the moare afrayde
When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid,
9 and went agayne into ye iudgment hall and sayde vnto Iesus: whence arte thou? But Iesus gave him none answere.
and went back into the Praetorium, and asked Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus didn’t answer him.
10 Then sayde Pylate vnto him. Speakest thou not vnto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify the and have power to lowse the?
Pilate therefore asked him, “Do you refuse to speak to me? Don’t you know that I have authority to release you, and authority to crucify you?”
11 Iesus answered: Thou couldest have no power at all agaynst me except it were geven the from above. Therfore he yt delyvered me vnto the is moare in synne.
Jesus answered, “You would have no authority at all against me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered me to you has the greater sin.”
12 And from thence forthe sought Pylate meanes to lowse him: but the Iewes cryed sayinge: yf thou let him goo thou arte not Cesars frende. For whosoever maketh hi selfe a kynge is agaynst Cesar
From then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews shouted, “If you let this man go, you aren’t Caesar’s friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.”
13 When Pylate hearde yt sayinge he brought Iesus forthe and sate doune to geve sentece in a place called the pavement: but in the Hebrue tonge Gabbatha.
Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement,” but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”
14 It was the Saboth even which falleth in the ester fest and aboute the sixte houre. And he sayde vnto the Iewes: beholde youre kynge.
Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. Pilate told the Jews, “Look! Here is your King!”
15 They cryed awaye with him awaye with him crucify him. Pylate sayde vnto them. Shall I crucify youre kynge? The hye Prestes answered: we have no kynge but Cesar.
They therefore shouted, “Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” Pilate asked them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”
16 Then delyvered he him vnto them to be crucified. And they toke Iesus and led him awaye.
Then Pilate delivered Jesus to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led Him away.
17 And he bare his crosse and went forthe into a place called the place of deed mens sculles which is named in Hebrue Golgatha.
And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.
18 Where they crucified him and two other with him on ether syde one and Iesus in the myddes.
There they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, with Jesus in the center.
19 And Pylate wrote his tytle and put it on the crosse. The writynge was Iesus of Nazareth kynge of the Iewes.
Now Pilate wrote a notice, and put it on the cross. The notice said: “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
20 This tytle reed many of the Iewes. For the place where Iesus was crucified was nye to the cite. And it was written in Hebrue Greke and Latyn.
Then many of the Jews read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
21 Then sayde the hye prestes of ye Iewes to Pylate: wryte not kynge of the Iewes: but that he sayde I am kynge of the Iewes.
Therefore the chief priests of the Jews told Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘He said, “I am the King of the Jews.”’”
22 Pylate answered: what I have written that have I written.
Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 Then the soudiers when they had crucified Iesus toke his garmentes and made foure partes to every soudier a parte and also his coote. The coote was with out seme wrought vpon thorowe out.
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they split His garments into four parts, to each soldier a part, including the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.
24 And they sayde one to another. Let vs not devyde it: but cast loostes who shall have it That the scripture myght be fulfilled which sayth. They parted my rayment amonge them and on my coote dyd cast lottes. And the soudiers dyd soche thinges in dede.
Therefore they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots to see whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: “They divided my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots.” So the soldiers did these things.
25 Ther stode by the crosse of Iesus his mother and his mothers sister Mary the wyfe of Cleophas and Mary Magdalene.
Now Jesus’ mother, His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene stood by Jesus’ cross.
26 When Iesus sawe his mother and the disciple stondynge whom he loved he sayde vnto his mother: woman beholde thy sonne.
Therefore when Jesus saw His mother, and the disciple who He sincerely loved standing by, He told His mother, “Woman, here is your son!”
27 Then sayde he to ye disciple: beholde thy mother. And fro that houre the disciple toke her for his awne.
Then He told the disciple, “Here is your mother!” From that hour, that disciple took her into his own home.
28 After that when Iesus perceaved that all thinges were performed: that the scripture myght be fulfilled he sayde: I thyrst.
After this, Jesus, knowing that everything was now accomplished, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I’m thirsty!”
29 Ther stode a vessell full of veneger by. And they filled a sponge with veneger and wounde it about with ysope and put it to his mouth.
A jar full of vinegar was standing there, so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on a hyssop stalk, and lifted it up to His mouth.
30 Assone as Iesus had receaved of the veneger he sayd: It is fynesshed and bowed his heed and gaue vp the goost.
When Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, “It is finished!” Then, He bowed His head, and gave up His spirit.
31 The Iewes then because it was the saboth eve that ye bodyes shuld not remayne apon ye crosse on ye saboth daye (for that saboth daye was an hye daye) besought Pylate that their legges myght be broken and that they myght be taken doune.
Because it was the Preparation Day, the Jews asked Pilate for the prisoners’ legs to be broken, and that they might be taken away, so that the bodies wouldn’t stay on the cross on the Sabbath (because that Sabbath was a special one).
32 Then came the soudiers and brake the legges of the fyrst and of the other which was crucified with Iesus.
Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other man who was crucified with Jesus,
33 But when they came to Iesus and sawe that he was deed already they brake not his legges:
but when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they didn’t break His legs.
34 but one of the soudiers with a speare thrust him into the syde and forthwith came ther out bloud and water.
Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35 And he that sawe it bare recorde and his recorde is true. And he knoweth that he sayth true that ye myght beleve also.
He who saw it has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe.
36 These thinges were done that the scripture shuld be fulfilled: Ye shall not breake a boone of him.
These things were done so that the Scripture should be fulfilled, “Not one of His bones shall be broken.”
37 And agayne another scripture sayth: They shall looke on him whom they pearsed.
Another Scripture says, “They will look on Him who they pierced.”
38 After that Ioseph of Aramathia (which was a disciple of Iesus: but secretly for feare of ye Iewes) besought Pylate that he myght take doune the body of Iesus. And Pylate gave him licence.
After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate if he could take the body of Jesus away; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus.
39 And ther cam also Nicodemus which at the beginnynge came to Iesus by nyght and brought of myrre and aloes mingled to gether aboute an hundred pounde wayght
Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing about a hundred Roman pounds of a mixture of myrrh and aloes.
40 Then toke they the body of Iesu and wounde it in lynnen clothes with the odoures as ye maner of the Iewes is to bury.
So they took the body of Jesus, and wrapped it in strips of linen with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
41 And in the place where Iesus was crucified was a garden and in ye garden a newe sepulchre wherin was never man layd.
In the place where He was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been laid.
42 There layde they Iesus because of the Iewes saboth even for the sepulcre was nye at honde.
Because of the Jewish Preparation Day, and because the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
