John 19
1 Then Pilate took Jesus and whipped him.
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
2 The soldiers weaved a crown of thorns. They put it on the head of Jesus and dressed him with a purple garment.
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment;
3 They came to him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they struck him.
and they came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands.
4 Then Pilate went outside again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him outside to you so that you will know that I find no guilt in him.”
And Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him.
5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, “Look, here is the man!”
Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold, the man!
6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw Jesus, they cried out and said, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him.”
When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify [him], crucify [him]! Pilate saith unto them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him.
7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he has to die because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid;
9 and he entered the government headquarters again and said to Jesus, “Where do you come from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.
and he entered into the Prætorium again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then Pilate said to him, “Are you not speaking to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?”
Pilate therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?
11 Jesus answered him, “You do not have any power over me except for what has been given to you from above. Therefore, he who gave me over to you has a greater sin.”
Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin.
12 At this answer, Pilate tried to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you are not a friend of Caesar. Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.”
Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Cæsar’s friend: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Cæsar.
13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place called “The Pavement,” but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.”
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.
14 Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover, at about the sixth hour. Pilate said to the Jews, “See, here is your king!”
Now it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King!
15 They cried out, “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.”
They therefore cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cæsar.
16 Then Pilate gave Jesus over to them to be crucified.
Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified.
17 Then they took Jesus, and he went out, carrying the cross for himself, to the place called “The Place of a Skull,” which in Hebrew is called “Golgotha.”
They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha:
18 They crucified Jesus there, and with him two other men, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19 Pilate also wrote a sign and put it on the cross. There it was written: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Many of the Jews read this sign because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. The sign was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
This title therefore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, [and] in Latin, [and] in Greek.
21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but rather, 'This one said, “I am King of the Jews.”'”
The chief priests of the Jews therefore 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 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, divided them into four shares, one for each of them; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top.
The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 Then they said to each other, “Let us not tear it, but instead let us cast lots for it to decide whose it will be.” This happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled which said, “They divided my garments among themselves and cast lots for my clothing.” This is what the soldiers did.
They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots.
25 Now standing beside Jesus' cross were his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, see, your son!”
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold, thy son!
27 Then he said to the disciple, “See, your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own [home].
28 After this, knowing that everything was now completed and so that the scriptures would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst.
29 A container full of sour wine was placed there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop staff and lifted it up to his mouth.
There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth.
30 When Jesus had taken the sour wine, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.
31 Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was especially important), asked Pilate to break their legs and to remove them.
The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high [day]), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.
32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the second man who had been crucified with Jesus.
The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him:
33 When they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they did not break his legs.
but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water.
35 The one who saw this has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that what he said is true so that you would also believe.
And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe.
36 For these things happened in order to fulfill scripture, “Not one of his bones will 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 at him whom they pierced.”
And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, since he was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate if he could take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission. So Joseph came and took away his body.
And after these things Joseph of Arimathæa, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave [him] leave. He came therefore, and took away his body.
39 Nicodemus also came, he who at first had come to Jesus by night. He brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about one hundred litras in weight.
And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.
40 So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, as was the custom of the Jews to bury bodies.
So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden was a new tomb in which no person had yet been buried.
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb wherein was never man yet laid.
42 Because it was the day of preparation for the Jews and because the tomb was close by, they laid Jesus in it.
There then because of the Jews’ Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus.
