John 19

3 When Pilate could not aswage the rage of the Jews against Christ, he delivereth him up with his superscription to be hanged betwixt two thieves. 23 They cast lots for his garments, 26 He commendeth his mother unto John. 28 Calleth for drink. 33 Dyeth, and his side is pierced, and taken down from the cross. 38 He is buried.
1.Then *Pilate took Jesus and ascourged him.
2.And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple garment.
3.And said, Hail, King of the Jews. And they smote him with their rods.
4.Then Pilate went forth again, and said unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know, that I find no faute in him at all.
5.Then came Jesus forth wearing a crown of thorns, and a purple garment. And Pilate said unto them, bBehold the man.
6.Then when the high Priests and officers saw him, they cried, saying, Crucify, crucify him. Pilate said unto them, Take ye him and crucify him: for I find no faute in him.
7.The Jews answered him, We have a Law, and by our Law he ought to die, because he made himself the cSon of God.
8.¶ When Pilate then heard that word, he was the more afraid,
9.And went again into the common hall and said unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him none answer.
10.Then said Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to loose thee?
11.Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no dpower at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee, hath the greater sin.
12.From thence forth Pilate sought to loose him, but the Jews cried, saying, If thou deliver him, thou art not Cesar’s friend: for whosoever maketh him self a King, speakest against Cesar.
13.¶ When Pilate heard that word, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgement seat in a place called the ePavement, and in Hebrewe, Gabbatha.
14.And it was the Preparation of the Passover, and about the fsixth hour: and he said unto the Jews, Behold your King.
15.But they cried, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate said unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The high Priests answered, We have no King but Cesar.
16.Then delivered he him unto them, to be crucified. *and they took Jesus, and led him away.
17.And he bare his cross, and came into a place named of dead men’s Skulls, which is called in Ebrewe, gGalgotha:
18.Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the middes.
19.¶ And Pilate wrote also a title and put it on the cross, and it was written, JESUS OF NAZARET THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20.This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified, was near to the city: and it was written in hHebrewe, Greek, and Latin.
21.Then said the high 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 & made four parts, to every soldier a part, and his coat: and the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24.Therefore they said one to another, Let us not divide it, but cast lots for it, whose it shalbe. This was that the iScripture might be fulfilled, which saith, *They departed my garments among them, and on my caot did cast lots. So the soldiers did these things in deed.
25.¶ Then stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Marie the wife of ^Cleopas, & Marie Magdalene.
26.And when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he said unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son.
27.Then said he to the disciple, Behold thy mother: and from that hour, the disciple took her home unto him.
28.¶ After, when Jesus knewe that all things were performed, that the *Scripture might be fulfilled, he said, I thirst.
29.And there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and kput it about lhossop stalk, and put it to his mouth.
30.Now when Jesus had received of the vinegar, he said, mIt is finished, and bowed his head, and gave up the gost.
31.The Jews then (because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day: for that Sabbath was an nhigh day) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken down.
32.Then came the soldiers and brake the legs of the first, and of the other, which was crucified with Jesus.
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 opierced 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 it.
36.For these things were done, that the *Scripture should be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shalbe broken.
37.And again another Scripture saith, *They shall see him whom they have thrust through.
38.*And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (who was a disciple of Jesus, but psecretly for fear of the Jews) besought Pilate that he might take down the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave him license. He came then and took Jesus’ body.
39.And there came *also Nicodemus (which first came to Jesus by night) and brought of myrrh and aloes mingled together about an hundreth pound.
40.qThen took they the body of Jesus, and wrapped it in linen clothes with the odours, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
41.And in that place where Jesus was crucified, was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
42.There then laid they Jesus, because of the Jewe’s Preparation day, for the sepulchre was near.
