John 19

CHAPTER 19 The Crown of Thorns

1 Then therefore Pilate took Jesus and whipped him. 2 And the soldiers, having plaited a crown of thorns, placed it upon his head, and a cloak of purple they put around him. 3 And they said, Hail, the king of the Jews! And they gave him slaps. 4 [²came forth ³then ⁴again ⁵outside ¹Pilate], and says to them, See! I bring him to you outside, that you should know that in him not one fault I find. 5 [²then came forth ¹Jesus] outside, wearing the thorny crown, and the purple cloak. And he says to them, Behold the man!

The Jews Ask to Crucify Jesus

6 When then [⁶beheld ⁷him ¹the ²chief priests ³and ⁴the ⁵officers], they cried out saying, Crucify, crucify him! [²says ³to them ¹Pilate], Take him yourselves, and crucify! for I find no [²in ³him ¹fault]. 7 [³answered ⁴him ¹The ²Jews], We [²a law ¹have], and according to our law he ought to die, for [²himself ³a son ⁴of God ¹he made]. 8 Then when Pilate heard this word, more he feared. 9 And he entered into the praetorium again, and says to Jesus, From what place are you? But Jesus [²an answer ¹gave not] to him. 10 Then says Pilate to him, To me you speak not? Do you not know that [²authority ¹I have] to crucify you, and [²authority ¹I have] to release you? 11 Jesus answered, You do not have authority in anything against me, except what was given to you from above. On account of this, the one delivering me up to you [²the greater ³sin ¹has]. 12 From this Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying, If this one you should release, you are not a friend of Caesar. Every one [²king ¹making himself], speaks against Caesar. 13 Then Pilate hearing this word, brought Jesus outside; and he sat upon the rostrum in the place being called Lithostratus, but in Hebrew Gabbatha. 14 And it was preparation of the passover, [⁴hour ¹and ²about ³the sixth]; and he says to the Jews, Behold your king! 15 And they cried out, Take him, take him! Crucify him! [²says ³to them ¹Pilate], [²your king ¹Shall I crucify]? [³answered ¹The ²chief priests], We have no king except Caesar. 16 Then therefore he delivered him up to them that he should be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him.

The Crucifixion

17 And bearing his cross, he came forth unto the [²being called ³of the Skull ¹place], which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha; 18 where they crucified him, and with him [²others ¹two], one here on this side and one here on that side, [³in the middle ¹and ²Jesus]. 19 [³wrote ¹And ⁴also ⁵a title ²Pilate], and put it upon the cross. And was written, Jesus the Nazarene the King of the Jews. 20 This [²then ¹title] many [³read ¹of the ²Jews], for [³was near ¹the ²place] the city where Jesus was crucified; and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman. 21 [⁶said ¹then ⁷to Pilate ²the ³chief priests ⁴of the ⁵Jews], Write not, The King of the Jews! but that, That one said, I am king of the Jews. 22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.

The Soldiers Cast Lots

23 Then the soldiers when they crucified Jesus, took his garments, (and they made four parts, to each soldier a part), and the inner garment; [⁴was ¹but ²the ³inner garment] seamless, from the top woven through entire. 24 They said then to one another, We should not split it, but obtain by lot for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture should be fulfilled, the one saying, They divided into parts my garments among themselves, and over my clothes they cast a lot. Then indeed the soldiers did these things. 25 And stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the one of Klopas, and Mary the Magdalene. 26 Jesus then seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, says to his mother, O woman, Behold your son. 27 Then he says to the disciple, Behold, your mother. And from that hour [³took ⁴her ¹the ²disciple] for his own.

Jesus Delivers Up His Spirit

28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things already have been finished, that [³should be perfected ¹the ²scripture], says, I thirst. 29 A utensil then was situated [²of vinegar ¹full]; and the ones having filled a sponge with vinegar, and [²hyssop ¹putting on], brought it near his mouth. 30 When therefore [²took ³the ⁴vinegar ¹Jesus], he said, It has been finished; and having leaned the head, he delivered up the spirit. 31 Then the Jews (that [³should not ⁴remain ⁵upon ⁶the ⁷cross ¹the ²bodies] during the Sabbath, since it was preparation, [³was ¹for ⁴a great ⁵day ²that] of the Sabbath) asked Pilate that [³should be broken ¹their ²legs], and they should be taken away. 32 Then came the soldiers. And the first one they broke the legs, and the other being crucified along with him. 33 [³unto ¹But ⁴Jesus ²having come], when they saw him already having died, they did not break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers with a lance [²his ³side ¹pierced], and immediately came forth blood and water. 35 And the one seeing bears witness, and [⁴true ³is ²testimony ¹his]; and that one knows that [²true ¹he speaks], that you should believe. 36 [³took place ¹For ²these things], that the scripture should be fulfilled, Not a bone of his shall be broken. 37 And again another scripture says, They shall look on whom they pierced.

The Burial of Jesus

38 And after these things [⁴asked ⁵Pilate ¹Joseph ²of ³Arimathea] (being a disciple of Jesus, but being hidden for the fear of the Jews) that he should take the body of Jesus; and Pilate committed it to his care. Then he came, and took the body of Jesus. 39 And came also Nicodemus (the one coming to Jesus by night at first) bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloe, about [²liters ¹a hundred]. 40 They then took the body of Jesus, and tied it with small pieces of cloth with the aromatics, as is custom with the Jews to embalm. 41 [³was ¹And ⁴in ⁵the ⁶place ⁷where ⁸he was crucified ²a garden], and in the garden [²sepulchre ¹a new], in which not yet was anyone placed. 42 There then (because of the preparation of the Jews, for [³was near ¹the ²sepulchre]) they placed Jesus.
