King
James Version - John chpt.19
[19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus,
and scourged him.
19:2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and
put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
19:3 And said,
Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
19:4
Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him
forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
19:5 Then
came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate
saith unto them, Behold the man!
19:6 When the chief priests therefore
and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate
saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in
him.
19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought
to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
19:8 When Pilate
therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
19:9 And went
again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus
gave him no answer.
19:10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not
unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to
release thee?
19:11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all
against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered
me unto thee hath the greater sin.
19:12 And from thenceforth Pilate
sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man
go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh
against Caesar.
19:13 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.
19:14 And it was the
preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the
Jews, Behold your King!
19:15 But they cried out, Away with him, away
with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The
chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
19:16 Then
delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and
led him away.
19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place
called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew
Golgotha:
19:18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on
either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19:19 And Pilate wrote a
title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING
OF THE JEWS.
19:20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place
where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew,
and Greek, and Latin.
19:21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to
Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the
Jews.
19:22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have
written.
19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took
his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat:
now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
19:24
They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for
it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith,
They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots.
These things therefore the soldiers did.
19:25 Now there stood by the
cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas,
and Mary Magdalene.
19:26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the
disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold
thy son!
19:27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And
from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
19:28 After
this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture
might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
19:29 Now there was set a vessel
full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon
hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
19:30 When Jesus therefore had
received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave
up the ghost.
19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation,
that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that
sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken,
and that they might be taken away.
19:32 Then came the soldiers, and
brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with
him.
19:33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead
already, they brake not his legs:
19:34 But one of the soldiers with a
spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and
water.
19:35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true:
and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
19:36 For
these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him
shall not be broken.
19:37 And again another scripture saith, They
shall look on him whom they pierced.
19:38 And after this Joseph of
Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews,
besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him
leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
19:39 And there
came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a
mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
19:40 Then
took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as
the manner of the Jews is to bury.
19:41 Now in the place where he was
crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was
never man yet laid.
19:42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of
the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at
hand.
