John 19:1-42KJV 1Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and
scourged him.
2And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his
head, and they put on him a purple robe,
3And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their
hands.
4Pilate 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.
5Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the
purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
6When 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.

7The
Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he
ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more
afraid;
9And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus,
Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10Then 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?
11Jesus 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.

12And
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.
13When 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.
14And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth
hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
15But 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.
16Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified.
And they took Jesus, and led him away.

he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the
place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
18Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either
side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the
writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20This 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.
21Then 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.
22Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
17And

23Then
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.
24They 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.
25Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his
mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

26When
Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple
standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman,
behold thy son!
27Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from
that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
28After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now
accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29Now 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.
30When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is
finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

31The
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.
32Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of
the other which was crucified with him.
33But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead
already, they brake not his legs:
34But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and
forthwith came there out blood and water.
35And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he
knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
What About Jesus And His Death On The Cross?
36For
these things were done, that the scripture should be
fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
37And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him
whom they pierced.
38And 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.
39And 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.

40Then
took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen
clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
41Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden;
and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet
laid.
42There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’
preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
