John 19:12-42 And from that time Pilate sought to release Him: But the Jews cried out, saying, "If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar's friend: Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

TKJU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² And from that time Pilate sought to release Him: But the Jews cried out, saying, "If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar's friend: Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar." ¹³ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ Moreover it was the Preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour: And he said to the Jews, "Behold your King!" ¹⁵ But 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 he therefore delivered Him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led Him away. ¹⁷ And He bearing His cross went forth to a place called The Place of a Skull, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha: ¹⁸ Where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the middle. ¹⁹ Now Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ Then many of the Jews read this title: For the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. ²¹ Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The 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 had crucified Jesus, took His clothes, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also His coat: Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top in one piece throughout. ²⁴ Therefore they said among themselves, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be": That the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, "They divided My clothes among them, and for My vesture they cast lots." Therefore the soldiers did these things. ²⁵ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ Therefore, when Jesus saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" ²⁷ Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. ²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst." ²⁹ Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there: And they filled a sponge with vinegar, put it upon hyssop, and put it to His mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He said, "It is finished": Then He bowed His head, and gave up the ghost. ³¹ The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath day, (for that Sabbath was a high day), implored Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. ³² Then the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other which were crucified with Him. ³³ 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 pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. ³⁵ And he that saw it bares record, and his record is true: And he knows that he speaks truly, that you might believe. ³⁶ For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, "A bone of Him shall not be broken." ³⁷ And again another scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they pierced." ³⁸ And after this Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, implored Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: And Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. ³⁹ And there also came Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds in weight. ⁴⁰ Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. ⁴¹ Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, in which a man was never yet laid. ⁴² They therefore laid Jesus there because of the Jews' Preparation Day; for the sepulchre was near at hand.
