Joh 19 | NASB2020 | STEP | So Pilate then took Jesus and had Him flogged .

1 So Pilate then took Jesus and ^{▼▼Lit flogged Him
,} ^bhad Him flogged. 2 ^cAnd the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and placed it on His head, and put a purple ^{▼▼I.e., a Roman soldier’s cloak}cloak on Him; 3 and they repeatedly came up to Him and said, “ ^eHail, King of the Jews!” and ^fslapped Him in the face again and again. 4 And then Pilate ^gcame out again and *said to them, “See, I am bringing Him out to you so that you will know that ^hI find no grounds at all for charges in ^{▼▼Lit Him}His case.” 5 Jesus then came out, ^jwearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate *said to them, “Behold, the Man!” 6 So when the chief priests and the ^kofficers saw Him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate *said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him; for ^lI find no grounds for charges in ^{▼▼Lit Him}His case!” 7 The Jews answered him, “ ⁿWe have a law, and by that law He ought to die, because He ^omade Himself out to be the Son of God!”

8 Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid; 9 and he ^pentered the ^{▼▼I.e., governor’s official residence}Praetorium again and *said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But ^rJesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate *said to Him, “Are you not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?” 11 Jesus answered him, “ ^sYou would have no authority ^{▼▼Lit against}over Me at all, if it had not been given to you from above; for this reason ^uthe one who handed Me over 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 shouted, saying, “ ^wIf you release this Man, you are not a 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 ^ysat down on the judgment seat at a place called ^{▼▼Gr Lithostrotos}The Pavement--but ^aain ^{▼▼I.e., Jewish Aramaic}Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was ^acthe day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the ^{▼▼I.e., about noon
,} ^aesixth hour. And he *said to the Jews, “Look, ^afyour King!” 15 So they shouted, “ ^agAway with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!” Pilate *said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar.”

The Crucifixion

16 So he then ^ahhanded Him over to them to be crucified.

17 ^aiThey took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, ^{▼▼Or carrying the cross by Himself
,} ^akcarrying His own cross, to the place called ^althe Place of a Skull, which ^amin ^{▼▼I.e., Jewish Aramaic}Hebrew is called, Golgotha. 18 There they crucified Him, and with Him ^aotwo other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between. 19 Now Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written: “ ^apJESUS THE NAZARENE, ^aqTHE KING OF THE JEWS.” 20 Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written ^arin ^{▼▼I.e., Jewish Aramaic}Hebrew, Latin, and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘ ^atThe King of the Jews’; rather, write that He said, ‘I am ^auKing of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, “ ^avWhat I have written, I have written.”

23 Then ^awthe soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made ^axfour parts: a part to each soldier, and the ^{▼▼A long shirt worn next to the skin}tunic also; but the tunic was seamless, woven ^{▼▼Lit from the upper part through the whole}in one piece. 24 So they said to one another, “ ^baLet’s not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be.” ^bbThis happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “They ^bcdivided My garments among themselves, and they cast ^{▼▼Lit a lot}lots for My clothing.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.

25 ^beNow beside the cross of Jesus stood ^bfHis mother, His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and ^bgMary Magdalene. 26 So when Jesus saw His mother, and ^bhthe disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He *said to His mother, “ ^biWoman, behold, your son!” 27 Then He *said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her into ^bjhis own household.

28 After this, Jesus, ^bkknowing that all things had already been accomplished, ^blin order that the Scripture would be fulfilled, *said, “ ^bmI am thirsty.” 29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so ^bnthey put a sponge full of the sour wine on a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. 30 Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “ ^boIt is finished!” And He bowed His head and ^bpgave up His spirit.

Care of the Body of Jesus

31 Now then, since it was ^bqthe day of preparation, to prevent ^brthe bodies from remaining on the cross on the Sabbath ( ^{▼▼Lit for the day of that Sabbath was great}for that Sabbath was a ^bthigh day), the Jews requested of Pilate that their legs be broken, and the bodies be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man, and of the other who was ^bucrucified with Him; 33 but after they came to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34 Yet one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately ^bvblood and water came out. 35 And he who has seen has ^bwtestified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe. 36 For these things took place ^bxso that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “ ^byNot a bone of Him shall be ^{▼▼Or crushed; or shattered}broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, “ ^caThey will look at Him whom they pierced.”

38 Now ^cbafter these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a ^ccsecret one for ^cdfear of the ^{▼▼I.e., the Jewish leaders}Jews, requested of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body. 39 ^cfNicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, ^cgbringing a ^{▼▼Two early mss package of}mixture of ^cimyrrh and aloes, about a ^{▼▼I.e., Roman libras (about 75 lb. or 34 kg)
,} ^ckhundred litras weight. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and ^clbound it in ^cmlinen 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 was a ^cnnew tomb ^coin which no one had yet been laid. 42 Therefore because of the Jewish day of ^cppreparation, since the tomb was ^cqnearby, they laid Jesus there.
