John 19

Then , therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge ` him ',

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

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

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 ;'

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

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 ;'

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

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

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

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? '

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. '

From this `time' 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. '

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 ;

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

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. '

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

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

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

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

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 .

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 ;'

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

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 ,

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 .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 ,

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 .

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;

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 ;

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