John 19
1 Then Pilate took Jesus and whipped him.
Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge [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 having plaited a crown of thorns, did place [it] on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,
3 They came to him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they struck him.
and said, 'Hail! the king of the Jews;' and they were giving him slaps.
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.”
Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, 'Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;'
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 forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, 'Lo, 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 did see him, they cried out, saying, 'Crucify, crucify;' Pilate saith to them, 'Take ye him — ye, and crucify; for I find no fault 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 according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.'
8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, 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 entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, 'Whence art thou?' and 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 to him, 'To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release 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, 'Thou wouldest have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to 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.”
From this [time] was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, 'If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.'
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.”
Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without — and he sat down upon the tribunal — to a place called, 'Pavement,' and 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!”
and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, 'Lo, 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.”
and they cried out, 'Take away, take away, crucify him;' Pilate saith to them, 'Your king shall I crucify?' the chief priests answered, 'We have no king except Caesar.'
16 Then Pilate gave Jesus over to them to be crucified.
Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led [him] away,
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.”
and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called [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 this side, and on that side, 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 also wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross, and it was written, 'Jesus the Nazarene, 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, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman.
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 said, therefore, to Pilate, 'Write not — The king of the Jews, but that one 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 did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven 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, to one another, 'We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.
25 Now standing beside Jesus' cross were his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene;
26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, see, your son!”
Jesus, therefore, having seen [his] mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, 'Woman, lo, thy son;'
27 Then he said to the disciple, “See, your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
afterward he saith to the disciple, 'Lo, thy mother;' and from that hour the disciple took her to 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 now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, 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.
a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put [it] around a hyssop stalk, did put [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, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, 'It hath been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the 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, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one, ) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they 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 of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,
33 When they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they did not break his legs.
and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been 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.
but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth 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 who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, 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 Writing may 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 Writing saith, 'They shall look to him whom they did pierce.'
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 did Joseph of Arimathea — being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews — ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,
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 Nicodemus also came — who came unto Jesus by night at the first — bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, 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.
They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;
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.
and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was 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, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.
