19:1  Pilate then took Jesus and flogged Him.
19:2  And when the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him;
19:3  and they were coming to Him and saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and were giving Him slaps in the face.
19:4  And Pilate came out again and *said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him.”
19:5  Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate *said to them, “Behold, the man!”
19:6  So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate *said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him.”
19:7  The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He made Himself out to be the Son of God.”
19:8  Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he became more afraid;
19:9  and he entered into the Praetorium again and *said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.
19:10  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?”
19:11  Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”
19:12  As a result of this Pilate kept seeking to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself to be a king opposes Caesar.”
19:13  Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
19:14  Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he *said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”
19:15  So they cried out, “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.”
19:16  So he then delivered Him over to them to be crucified.
19:17  They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.
19:18  There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between.
19:19  And Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, “JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
19:20  Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and in Greek.
19:21  So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews;’ but that He said, ‘I am King of the Jews.’”
19:22  Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written.”
19:23  Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, a part to each soldier and also His tunic; now that tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top.
19:24  So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be;” this was in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.”
19:25  Therefore the soldiers did these things. But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
19:26  When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He *said to His mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”
19:27  Then He *said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her into his home.
19:28  After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been finished, in order to finish the Scripture, *said, “I am thirsty.”
19:29  A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth.
19:30  Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
19:31  Then the Jews, because it was the day of Preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
19:32  So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with Him;
19:33  but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
19:34  But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
19:35  And he who has seen has borne witness, and his witness is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
19:36  For these things came to pass in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled, “Not a bone of Him shall be broken.”
19:37  And again another Scripture says, “They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”
19:38  Now after these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because of his fear 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.
19:39  And Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about one hundred litras.
19:40  So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
19:41  Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
19:42  Therefore because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
