John 19
1. Then Pilate therefore took * Jesus, and scourged * him.
2. And the soldiers platted * a crown of thorns, and put it on * his head, and they put on * him a purple robe,
3. And said * , Hail * , King of the Jews ! and they smote * him with their hands.
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.
5. Then came * Jesus forth,wearing * the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith * unto them, Behold the man !
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.
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. When Pilate therefore heard * that saying, he was * the more afraid * ;
9. And went * again into the judgment hall, and saith * unto Jesus, Whence art * thou? But Jesus gave * him no answer.
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?
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.
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.
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. And it was * the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith * unto the Jews, Behold your King !
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.
16. Then delivered he * him therefore unto them to be crucified * . And they took * Jesus, and led him away * .
17. And he bearing * his cross went forth * into a place called * the place of a skull, which is called * in the Hebrew Golgotha:
18. Where they crucified * him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19. And Pilate wrote * a title, and put * it on the cross. And the writing * was * , JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
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.
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.
22. Pilate answered * , What I have written * I have written * .
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.
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 * .
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. When Jesus therefore saw * his mother, and the disciple standing by * , whom he loved * , he saith * unto his mother, Woman, behold * thy son !
27. Then saith he * to the disciple,Behold * thy mother ! And from that hour that disciple took * her unto his own home.
28. After this, Jesus knowing * that all things were * now accomplished * , that the scripture might be fulfilled * , saith * , I thirst * .
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.
30. When Jesus therefore had received * the vinegar, he said * , It is finished * : and he bowed * his head, and gave up * the ghost.
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 * .
32. Then came * the soldiers, and brake * the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with * him.
33. But when they came * to Jesus, and saw * that he was dead * already, they brake * not his legs:
34. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced * his side, and forthwith came there out * blood and water.
35. And he that saw * it bare record * , and his record is * true: and he knoweth * that he saith * true, that ye 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 saith * , They shall look * on him whom they pierced * .
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.
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.
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 * .
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 * .
42. There laid they * Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was * nigh at hand.
