John 19:1-24

Godbey(i) 1 Then Pilate took Jesus, and scourged Him. 2 And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, placed it on His head, and put on Him a purple robe; 3 and came to Him and continued to say, Hail, King of the Jews! and they gave Him slaps. 4 Again Pilate went out, and speaks to them, Behold, I lead Him out to you, in order that you may know that I find no fault. 5 Then Jesus came out, bearing the thorny crown and purple robe. And he says to them, Behold, the man! 6 Then when the high priest and officers saw Him, they cried out, Crucify Him, crucify Him. Pilate says to them, You take Him, and crucify Him: for I find nothing criminal in Him. 7 And the Jews responded, We have a law, and according to law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God. 8 Then when Pilate heard this word, he feared the more; 9 then he went again into the judgment hall, and speaks to Jesus, Whence art thou? And Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Pilate says to Him, Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and I have power to crucify you? 11 Jesus responded, Thou hast no power against me, unless it was given to thee from above: on this account the one having betrayed me to thee has the greater sin. 12 After this Pilate still sought to release Him: but the Jews continued to cry out, saying, If you release Him, you are not the friend of Caesar: every one making himself king speaks against Caesar. 13 Then Pilate hearing these words, led out Jesus, and sat down on the tribunal, in the place called Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 And it was the preparation of the passover: and was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, Behold, your King! 15 Then they cried out, Take Him away, take Him away, crucify Him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your King? And the chief priests responded, We have no king but Caesar. 16 Therefore he then delivered Him to them that He should be crucified. Then they took Jesus and led Him away. 17 And He was bearing His cross. And He went out into a place called Calvary, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha. 18 They crucified Him there, and two others with Him, on this side and on that side, and Jesus in the midst. 19 And Pilate also wrote His title, and placed it upon the cross. And it was written, JESUS THE NAZARENE THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20 Then many of the Jews read this title: because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city: And it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Roman. 21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, King of the Jews; but that He said, I am the King of the Jews. 22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. 23 Then the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made them four parts, a part for each soldier; and the vesture. And the vesture was seamless, woven from the top throughout. 24 Then they said to one another, Let us not tear it, but let us gamble for it, whose it shall be. In order that the Scripture may be fulfilled, saying, They divided my garments among themselves, and upon my vesture they cast the lot. Then indeed the soldiers did these things.
