19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged [him].

19:2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put [it] on

his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

19:3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with

their hands.

19:4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them,

Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find

no fault in him.

19:5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the

purple robe. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold the man!

19:6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they

cried out, saying, Crucify [him], crucify [him]. Pilate saith

unto them, Take ye him, and crucify [him]: for I find no fault

in him.

19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he

ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

19:8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more

afraid;

19:9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus,

 Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

19:10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me?

knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have

power to release thee?

19:11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power [at all]

against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he

that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

19:12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the

Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not

Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh

against Caesar.

19:13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus

forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is

called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the

sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

19:15 But they cried out, Away with [him], away with [him],

crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King?

The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

19:16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified.

And they took Jesus, and led [him] away.

19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called

[the place] of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

19:18 Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on

either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross. And

the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

19:20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where

Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in

Hebrew, [and] Greek, [and] Latin.

19:21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write

not, 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, to every soldier a part; and also

[his] coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top

throughout.

19:24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it,

but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture

might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among

them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things

therefore the soldiers did.

19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his

mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

19:26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple

standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman,

behold thy son!

19:27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from

that hour that disciple took her unto his own [home].

19:28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now

accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I

thirst.

19:29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they

filled a sponge with vinegar, and put [it] upon hyssop, and put

[it] to his mouth.

19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It

is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that

the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day,

(for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that

their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.

19:32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first,

and of the other which was crucified with him.

19:33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead

already, they brake not his legs:

19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and

forthwith came there out blood and water.

19:35 And he that saw [it] bare record, and his record is true:

and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

19:36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be

fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

19:37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him

whom they pierced.

19:38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of

Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that

he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave [him]

leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

19:39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to

Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about

an hundred pound [weight].

19:40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen

clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

19:41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden;

 and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet

laid.

19:42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews'

preparation [day]; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
