John 19
1 Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge [him],
Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.
2 and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place [it] on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,
The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.
3 and said, 'Hail! the king of the Jews;' and they were giving him slaps.
And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.
4 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;'
Once again Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
5 Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, 'Lo, the man!'
When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
6 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;'
As soon as the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” “You take Him and crucify Him,” Pilate replied, “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
7 the Jews answered him, 'We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.'
“We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”
8 When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid,
When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
9 and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, 'Whence art thou?' and Jesus gave him no answer.
and he went back into the Praetorium. “Where are You from?” he asked. But Jesus gave no answer.
10 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?'
So Pilate said to Him, “Do You refuse to speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You and authority to crucify You?”
11 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.'
Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”
12 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.'
From then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who declares himself a king is defying Caesar.”
13 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;
When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha.
14 and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, 'Lo, your king!'
It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about the sixth hour. And Pilate said to the Jews, “Here is your King!”
15 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.'
At this, they shouted, “Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” “Shall I crucify your King?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” replied the chief priests.
16 Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led [him] away,
Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified, and the soldiers took Him away.
17 and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called [Place] of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha;
Carrying His own cross, He went out to The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst.
There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
19 And Pilate also wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross, and it was written, 'Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;'
Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 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.
Many of the Jews read this sign, because 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 Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, 'Write not — The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;'
So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but only that He 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 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,
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24 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.
So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.
25 And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene;
Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother and her sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
26 Jesus, therefore, having seen [his] mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, 'Woman, lo, thy son;'
When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”
27 afterward he saith to the disciple, 'Lo, thy mother;' and from that hour the disciple took her to his own [home].
Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” So from that hour, this disciple took her into his home.
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, 'I thirst;'
After this, knowing that everything had now been accomplished, and to fulfill the Scripture, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
29 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;
A jar of sour wine was sitting there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.
30 when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, 'It hath been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.
When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.
31 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.
It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.
32 The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,
So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and those of the other.
33 and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs;
But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
34 but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;
Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
35 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.
The one who saw it has testified to this, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
36 For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, 'A bone of him shall not be broken;'
Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”
37 and again another Writing saith, 'They shall look to him whom they did pierce.'
And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”
38 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,
Afterward, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed His body.
39 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.
Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.
40 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;
So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.
41 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;
Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
42 there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.
And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus there.
