Chapter 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. |
