John 19

Sawyer^{(i) 1 (20:3)} Then Pilate took and scourged Jesus. ² And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head; and they put a purple garment about him, ³ and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! And they struck him with the open hand. ⁴ Then Pilate came out again and said to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in him. ⁵ Then Jesus came out, wearing the thorny crown and the purple garment. And he said to them, Behold the man! ⁶ When therefore the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried, saying, Crucify him! crucify him! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no fault in him. ⁷ The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God. ^{8 (20:4)} When therefore Pilate heard this charge he was more afraid, ⁹ and entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, Whence are you? But Jesus gave him no answer. ¹⁰ Pilate said 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 answered, You would have had no power against me if it had not been given you from above; therefore he that delivered me to you has a greater sin. ^{12 (20:5)} From that time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried, saying, If you release this man you are not a friend of Caesar; every one who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar. ¹³ Then Pilate hearing these words led Jesus out, and sat on the tribunal, in a place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ And it was the preparation of the passover, it was about the sixth hour [noon]; and he said to the Jews, Behold your king! ¹⁵ Then they cried out, Away with him, away with him! crucify him! Pilate said to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. ¹⁶ Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. ^{17 (21:1)} THEN they took Jesus, and putting the cross on him he went out to what is called the place of a cranium, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha, ¹⁸ where they crucified him, and two others with him, one on one side and the other on the other, and Jesus between. ¹⁹ And Pilate wrote an inscription and put on the cross. And it was written, JESUS THE NAZORAEAN, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ Many of the Jews therefore read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. ²¹ Then the chief priests of the Jews 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. ^{23 (21:2)} Then the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took his clothes and made four parts, a part to each soldier, and his coat. But his coat was without seam, woven from the top through the whole. ²⁴ They said, therefore, one to another, Let us not divide this, but cast lots for it whose it shall be; that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did indeed these things. ^{25 (21:3)} And there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene. ²⁶ Then Jesus seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, said to his mother, Woman, behold your son. ²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, Behold your mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own [house]. ^{28 (21:4)} After this, Jesus knowing that all things were already finished, that the Scripture might be fully accomplished, said, I thirst. ²⁹ Then a vessel was set full of vinegar; and filling a sponge with vinegar, and putting it on a hyssop stalk, they presented it to his mouth. ³⁰ When therefore Jesus took the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and inclining his head gave up the spirit. ^{31 (21:5)} Then the Jews, that the bodies might not continue on the cross on the sabbath, for it was the preparation, for that was a great sabbath, asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and they be taken down. ³² Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other crucified with him, ³³ and coming to Jesus, when they saw him already dead, they broke not his legs; ³⁴ but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water. ³⁵ He who saw has testified, and his testimony is true, for he knows that he says what is true, that you also may believe. ³⁶ For these things were done that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken; ³⁷ and again another Scripture says, They shall look on him whom they have pierced. ^{38 (21:6)} After these things Joseph from Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take down the body of Jesus; and Pilate permitted him. Then he came and took his body. ³⁹ And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it with bandages, with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to prepare for burial. 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. ⁴² In that therefore they laid Jesus, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near.
