1 T hen Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge,

2 A nd the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment;

and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,

3 a nd they came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands.

and said, `Hail! the king of the Jews;' and they were giving him slaps.

4 A nd Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him.

Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, `Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;'

5 J esus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold, the man!

Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, `Lo, the man!'

6 W hen therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him.

When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, `Crucify, crucify;' Pilate saith to them, `Take ye him -- ye, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;'

7 T he Jews answered him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

the Jews answered him, `We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.'

8 W hen Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid;

When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid,

9 a nd he entered into the Praetorium again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, `Whence art thou?' and Jesus gave him no answer.

10 P ilate therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?

Pilate, therefore, saith to him, `To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?'

11 J esus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin.

Jesus answered, `Thou wouldst have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.'

12 U pon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

From this was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, `If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.'

13 W hen Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without -- and he sat down upon the tribunal -- to a place called, `Pavement,' and in Hebrew, Gabbatha;

14 N ow it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King!

and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, `Lo, your king!'

15 T hey therefore 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.

and they cried out, `Take away, take away, crucify him;' Pilate saith to them, `Your king shall I crucify?' the chief priests answered, `We have no king except Caesar.'

16 T hen therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified.

Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led away,

17 T hey took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha:

and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha;

18 w here they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst.

19 A nd Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

And Pilate also wrote a title, and put on the cross, and it was written, `Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;'

20 T his title therefore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, and in Latin, and in Greek.

this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman.

21 T he chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, `Write not -- The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;'

22 P ilate answered, What I have written I have written.

Pilate answered, `What I have written, I have written.'

23 T he soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,

24 T hey said therefore one to another, 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 garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots.

they said, therefore, to one another, `We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, `They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.

25 T hese things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene;

26 W hen Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

Jesus, therefore, having seen mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, `Woman, lo, thy son;'

27 T hen saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home.

afterward he saith to the disciple, `Lo, thy mother;' and from that hour the disciple took her to his own.

28 A fter this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst.

After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, `I thirst;'

29 T here was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth.

a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put around a hyssop stalk, did put to his mouth;

30 W hen Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, `It hath been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.

31 T he Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high day), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.

32 T he soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him:

The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him,

33 b ut when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs;

34 h owbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water.

but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;

35 A nd he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe.

and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.

36 F or these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, `A bone of him shall not be broken;'

37 A nd again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

and again another Writing saith, `They shall look to him whom they did pierce.'

38 A nd after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took away his body.

And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea -- being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews -- ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,

39 A nd there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

and Nicodemus also came -- who came unto Jesus by night at the first -- bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds.

40 S o they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial;

41 N ow in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb wherein was never man yet laid.

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 T here then because of the Jews' Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus.

there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus.
