AICNT YHN Chapter 19

◄ YHN 19 ► ║ ═ ©

19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2 And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and wrapped him in a purple robe. 3 [And they came up to him,][fn] and saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands.

4 Pilate went out again and says to them, “Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no guilt in him.”

5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate says to them, “{Behold}[fn] the man!”

6 So when the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out [saying],[fn] “Crucify, crucify [[him]].”[fn] Pilate said to them, “You take him and crucify him; for I find no fault in him.” 7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to {that}[fn] law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God.”

8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid, 9 and he entered the governor's headquarters again and says to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate says to him, “You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to {release}[fn] you and authority to crucify[fn] you?” 11 Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.” 12 From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.”

13 So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. He says to the Jews, “Behold your King!” 15 They 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.”

16 Then he handed him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus [[and led him away]],[fn] 17 and he went out, bearing his [own][fn] cross, he went out to the place called Skull Place, which is called Golgotha in Hebrew.[fn] 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.

19 Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” 20 Many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, {in Latin, and in Greek}.[fn]

21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’ ” 22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. 24 So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture [which says],[fn] “They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.”[fn] So the soldiers did these things.

25 But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he says to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then he says to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, says (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.”[fn] 29 A vessel full of sour wine was lying there; so they {put a sponge full of the sour wine on hyssop}[fn] and brought it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

31 So the Jews, since it was the day of Preparation, in order not to leave the bodies on the cross during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a great day), asked Pilate to have their legs broken and removed. 32 The soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and the other who had been crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, 34 but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

35 And the one who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true, and he knows that he speaks the truth, so that you [also][fn] {may believe}.[fn] 36 For these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, “Not a bone of his will be broken.”[fn] 37 And again another Scripture says, “They will look on the one whom they pierced.”[fn]

38 After these things, Joseph from Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body [of Jesus];[fn] and Pilate allowed it. So he came and took away his body. 39 Nicodemus also came, the one who had first come to {him}[fn] at night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

40 They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the custom of the Jews for burial.

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. 42 Therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
