John 19 📜 📕 ↷
Soldiers Mock Jesus
1 THEN therefore Pilate took JESUS, and scourged him.📜💬📚
2 And the soldiers platting a crown of thorns, put it upon his head: and they put about him a purple garment.📜💬📚
3 And they came to him, and said: Hail King of the Jews; and they gave him blows.📜💬📚
4 Pilate went forth again, and saith to them: Behold I bring him forth unto you, that you may know that I find no cause in him.📜💬📚
5 JESUS therefore went forth carrying the crown of thorns, and the purple vestiment. And he saith to them: Lo the man.📜💬📚
6 When the chief Priests therefore and the ministers had seen him, they cried, saying: Crucify, crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Take him you, and crucify him. For I find no cause in him.📜💬📚
7 The Jews answered him: We have a Law; and according to the Law he ought to die; because he hath made himself the Son of God.📜💬📚
8 When Pilate therefore had heard this saying, he feared more.📜💬📚
9 And he entered into the Palace again; and he saith to JESUS: Whence art thou? But JESUS gave him no answer.📜💬📚
10 Pilate therefore saith to him: Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to release thee?📜💬📚
11 JESUS answered: Thou shouldest not have any power against me, unless it were given thee from above. Therefore he that hath betrayed me to thee, hath the greater sin.📜💬📚
12 From thence forth Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried, saying: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend. Every one that maketh himself a king, speaketh against Caesar.📜💬📚
13 But Pilate when he had heard these words, brought forth JESUS: and he sat in the judgement seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew Gabbatha.📜💬📚
14 And it was the Parasceve of Pasche, about the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews: Lo your King.📜💬📚
15 But they cried: Away, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Shall I crucify your King? The chief Priests answered: We have no King, but Caesar.📜💬📚
Crucifixion
16 Then therefore he delivered him unto them for to be crucified. And they took JESUS, and led him forth.📜💬📚
17 And bearing his own cross he went forth into that which is called the place of Calvary, in Hebrew Golgotha.📜💬📚
18 Where they crucified him, and with him two others, on the one side & on the other, and in the midst JESUS.📜💬📚
19 And Pilate wrote a title also: and he put it upon the cross. And it was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.📜💬📚
20 This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where JESUS was crucified, was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.📜💬📚
21 The chief Priests therefore of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.📜💬📚
22 Pilate answered: That which I have written, I have written.📜💬📚
23 The soldiers therefore when they had crucified him, took his garments (and they made four parts, to every soldier a part) & his coat. And his coat was without seam, wrought from the top through out.📜💬📚
24 They said therefore one to another: Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it whose it shall be. That the scripture might be fulfilled saying: They have parted my garments among them: and upon my vesture they have cast lot. And the soldiers did these things.📜💬📚
25 And there stood beside the cross of JESUS, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.📜💬📚
26 When JESUS therefore had seen his mother and the Disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.📜💬📚
27 After that, he saith to the Disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour the Disciple took her to his own.📜💬📚
Death of Jesus
28 Afterward JESUS knowing that all things were now consummate, that the scripture might be fulfilled, he saith, I thirst.📜💬📚
29 A vessel therefore stood there full of vinegar. And they putting a sponge full of vinegar about hyssop, offered it to his mouth.📜💬📚
30 JESUS therefore when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is consummate. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost.📜💬📚
Jesus' Side Is Pierced
31 The Jews therefore (because it was the Parasceve) that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the Sabboth (for that was a great Sabboth day) they desired Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they might be taken away.📜💬📚
32 The soldiers therefore came: and of the first indeed they brake the legs, and of the other that was crucified with him.📜💬📚
33 But after they were come to JESUS, when they saw that he was dead, they did not break his legs,📜💬📚
34 but one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side, & incontinent there came forth blood and water.📜💬📚
35 And he that saw it, hath given testimony: and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true, that you also may believe.📜💬📚
36 For these things were done that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him.📜💬📚
37 And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom they pierced.📜💬📚
Burial of Jesus
38 And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea (because he was a Disciple of JESUS, but secret for fear of the Jews) desired Pilate that he might take away the body of JESUS. And Pilate permitted. He came therefore, & took away the body of JESUS.📜💬📚
39 Nicodemus also came, he that at the first came to JESUS by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pounds.📜💬📚
40 They took therefore the body of JESUS, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the manner is with the Jews to bury.📜💬📚
41 And there was in the place where he was crucified, a garden: and in the garden a new monument, wherein no man yet had been laid.📜💬📚
42 There therefore because of the Parasceve of the Jews, they laid JESUS, because the monument was hard by.📜💬📚
