1 ¶ Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus and scourged him.

Pilate then took Jesus and scourged Him.

2 A nd the soldiers platted a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him

And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him;

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

and they began to come up to Him and say, “ Hail, King of the Jews!” and to give Him slaps in the face.

4 P ilate therefore went forth again and said unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.

Pilate came out again and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him.”

5 T hen Jesus came forth, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said unto them, Behold the man!

Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the Man!”

6 W hen the princes of the priests and the servants saw him, they cried out, saying, crucify him, crucify him. Pilate said unto them, Take him, and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.

So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him.”

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

The Jews answered him, “ We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He made Himself out to be the Son of God.”

8 T herefore when Pilate heard that word, he was the more afraid

Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid;

9 a nd went again into the judgment hall and said unto Jesus, Where art thou from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

and he entered into the Praetorium again and said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

10 T hen Pilate said unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee and have power to release thee?

So Pilate said to Him, “You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?”

11 J esus answered, Thou could have no power at all against me, unless it were given thee from above; therefore he that delivered me unto thee has the greater sin.

Jesus answered, “ You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”

12 A nd from then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend; whosoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.

As a result of this Pilate made efforts to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, “ If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar.”

13 T herefore when Pilate heard that word, he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

14 A nd it was the preparation of the passover and about the sixth hour; then he said unto the Jews, Behold your King!

Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”

15 B ut they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate said unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The high priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

So 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.” The Crucifixion

16 ¶ So that then, he delivered him unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away.

So he then handed Him over to them to be crucified.

17 A nd he, bearing his cross, went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha,

They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.

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

There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between.

19 ¶ And Pilate also wrote a title and put it above the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, “ JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

20 A nd many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city; and it was written in Hebrew and Greek and Latin.

Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin and in Greek.

21 T hen the high priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews, but that he said, I AM King of the Jews.

So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘ The King of the Jews’; but that He 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 hen the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts (to each soldier a part); and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece.

24 T hey 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 says, They parted my garments among them, and for my raiment they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

So they said to one another, “ Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be”; this was to fulfill the Scripture: “ They divided My outer garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.”

25 N ow there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

Therefore the soldiers did these things. But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

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

When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “ Woman, behold, your son!”

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

Then He said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her into his own household.

28 A fter this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst.

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, “ I am thirsty.”

29 N ow there was set a vessel full of vinegar, and they filled a sponge with vinegar and put it upon hyssop and put it to his mouth.

A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth.

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

Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “ It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. Care of the Body of Jesus

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 a high day) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath ( for that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

32 T hen the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who were crucified with him.

So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man 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 did not break his legs,

but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

34 b ut one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith blood and water came out.

But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

35 A nd he that saw it gives testimony, and his testimony is true, and he knows that he says the truth, that ye also might believe.

And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.

36 F or these things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

For these things came to pass to fulfill the Scripture, “ Not a bone of Him shall be broken.”

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

And again another Scripture says, “ They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”

38 ¶ After these things, 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.

After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.

39 T hen Nicodemus came also, who at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about one hundred pounds.

Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.

40 A nd they took the body of Jesus and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as is the manner of the Jews to bury.

So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

41 N ow in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulchre, in which no one had yet been laid.

Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

42 T herefore they laid Jesus there because of the Jews’ preparation day, for the sepulchre was near.

Therefore because of the Jewish day of preparation, since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
