Joh 19 | NASB1995 | STEP | Pilate then took Jesus and scourged Him.

1 Pilate then took Jesus and ^{▼▼ Or had Him scourged
,} ^bscourged Him. 2 ^cAnd the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him; 3 and they began to come up to Him and say, ^d“Hail, King of the Jews!” and to ^egive Him slaps in the face. 4 Pilate ^fcame out again and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that ^gI find no guilt in Him.” 5 Jesus then came out, ^hwearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold, the Man!” 6 So when the chief priests and the ⁱofficers saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for ^jI find no guilt in Him.” 7 The Jews answered him, ^k“We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He ^lmade Himself out to be the Son of God.”

8 Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid; 9 and he ^mentered into the ^{▼▼ I.e. governor’s official residence}Praetorium again and said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But ^oJesus gave him no answer. 10 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 Jesus answered, ^p“You would have no authority ^{▼▼ Lit against}over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason ^rhe who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.” 12 As a result of this Pilate ^{▼▼ Lit was seeking to}made efforts to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, ^t“If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king ^{▼▼ Or speaks against}opposes Caesar.”

13 Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and ^vsat down on the judgment seat at a place called ^{▼▼ Gr The Lithostrotos}The Pavement, but ^xin ^{▼▼ I.e. Jewish Aramaic}Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was ^zthe day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the ^{▼▼ Perhaps 6 a.m.
,} ^absixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold, ^acyour King!” 15 So they cried out, ^ad“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 he then ^aehanded Him over to them to be crucified.

17 ^afThey took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, ^{▼▼ Lit bearing the cross for Himself
,} ^ahbearing His own cross, to the place called ^aithe Place of a Skull, which is called ^ajin ^{▼▼ I.e. Jewish Aramaic}Hebrew, Golgotha. 18 There they crucified Him, and with Him ^altwo other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between. 19 Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, ^am“JESUS THE NAZARENE, ^anTHE KING OF THE JEWS.” 20 Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written ^aoin ^{▼▼ I.e. Jewish Aramaic}Hebrew, Latin and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘ ^aqThe King of the Jews’; but that He said, ‘I am ^arKing of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, ^as“What I have written I have written.”

23 Then ^atthe soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made ^aufour parts, a part to every soldier and also the ^{▼▼ Gr khiton, the garment worn next to the skin}tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven ^{▼▼ Lit from the upper part through the whole}in one piece. 24 So they said to one another, ^ax“Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be”; ^ay this was to fulfill the Scripture: “They ^az divided My outer garments among them, and for My clothing they cast ^{▼▼ Lit a lot} lots.” 25 Therefore the soldiers did these things.

^bbBut standing by the cross of Jesus were ^bcHis mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and ^bdMary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus then saw His mother, and ^bethe disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, ^bf“Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her into ^bghis own household.

28 After this, Jesus, ^bhknowing that all things had already been accomplished, ^bito fulfill the Scripture, said, ^bj“I am thirsty.” 29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so ^bkthey put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. 30 Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, ^bl“It is finished!” And He bowed His head and ^bmgave up His spirit.

Care of the Body of Jesus

31 Then the Jews, because it was ^bnthe day of preparation, so that ^bothe bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath ( ^{▼▼ Lit for the day of that Sabbath was great}for that Sabbath was a ^bqhigh day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was ^brcrucified with Him; 33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately ^bsblood and water came out. 35 And he who has seen has ^bttestified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe. 36 For these things came to pass ^buto fulfill the Scripture, ^bv“Not a bone of Him shall be ^{▼▼ Or crushed or shattered} broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, ^bx“They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”

38 ^byAfter these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a ^bzsecret one for ^cafear 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 ^cbNicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, ^ccbringing a ^{▼▼ Two early mss read package of}mixture of ^cemyrrh and aloes, about a ^cfhundred ^{▼▼ Lit 100 litras (12 oz each)}pounds weight. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and ^chbound it in ^cilinen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a ^cjnew tomb ^ckin which no one had yet been laid. 42 Therefore because of the Jewish day of ^clpreparation, since the tomb was ^cmnearby, they laid Jesus there.
