1Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. 2And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment; 3and they came to him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! And they struck him with their hands. 4And Pilate went out again, and says to them, Look, I bring him out to you{+}, that you{+} may know that I find no crime in him. 5Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And [Pilate] says to them, Look, the man! 6When therefore the chief priests and the attendants saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify [him], crucify [him]! Pilate says to them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him. 7The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. 8When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid; 9and he entered into the Praetorium again, and says to Jesus, Where are you from? But Jesus gave him no answer. 10Pilate therefore says to him, Don't you speak to me? Don't you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you? 11Jesus answered him, You would have no power against me, except it were given you from above: therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin. 12On this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend: everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar. 13When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14Now it was the Preparation of the Passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, Look, your{+} King! 15They therefore cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify him! Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your{+} King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. 16Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. They took Jesus therefore: 17and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, to the place called, The Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha: 18where they crucified him, and with him two others, [one] on each side, and between them [was] Jesus. 19And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20This title therefore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, [and] in Latin, [and] in Greek. 21The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. 22Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. 23The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 24They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it will be: that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, And on my vesture they cast lots. 25These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he says to his mother, Woman, here is your son. 27Then he says to the disciple, Here is your mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own [home]. 28After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the Scripture might be accomplished, says, I thirst. 29There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and brought it to his mouth. 30When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and delivered up his spirit. 31The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not stay on the cross on the Sabbath (for the day of that Sabbath was a high [day]), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away. 32The soldiers therefore came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him: 33but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they did not break his legs: 34nevertheless one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately there came out blood and water. 35And he who has seen has borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knows that he says true, that you{+} also may believe. 36For these things came to pass, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him will not be broken. 37And again another Scripture says, They will look at him whom they pierced. 38And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave [him] leave. He came therefore, and took away his body. 39And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. 40So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. 41Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb in which man was never yet laid. 42There then because of the Jews' Preparation (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Jesus.
