Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Cross and Passover

At the beginning of John’s Gospel, John the Baptist introduced Jesus by calling him the “Lamb of God” (John 1:29, 36). This phrase might be a reference to the sacrificial lamb that was killed daily in the Temple (Exod 29:38-46) or to the sacrificial lamb of Isaiah 53:7 (cp. Acts 8:32-35; Rev 5:5-14). Both of these sacrifices spoke of rescue and forgiveness from sin.

However, this was not all that John had in mind. John presented Jesus as the Passover lamb whose death marks the central event of the Passover season (see Exod 12:43-47; Luke 22:7; 1 Cor 5:7). In the first century, Jews made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem each spring to celebrate the Passover and to reread the story of the Exodus (see Exod 12–15). When Israel was being rescued from Egypt, the blood of a lamb was sprinkled on the doorposts of each Jewish home in Egypt, an act which saved those inside from death (Exod 12). Jews who came to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover needed to supply a perfect young lamb for sacrifice (the animal could not be diseased or have broken bones).

Jesus used his final Passover meal to show that his sacrificial death would give new meaning to the festival (Mark 14:17-25). At his crucifixion, Jesus’ legs were not broken, as was often done to fulfill a Passover rule (John 19:31-33; see Exod 12:46). Blood ran freely from his wound (John 19:34), showing that his life was being exchanged for others. Just as a lamb died to save the lives of Jewish families at the Passover in Egypt, so too, the death of the Son of God on the cross serves to bring salvation to the world.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 19:16b–27: Soldiers nailed Jesus to a cross

This section describes how the soldiers nailed Jesus to a cross to die. Pilate ordered that they put a sign on the cross saying that Jesus was the King of the Jews. The chief priests complained to Pilate, but he did not change it. While Jesus was dying, the soldiers divided his clothes among themselves. Also, Jesus gave his mother into the care of the disciple whom he loved.

Here are other possible titles for this section:

Jesus’ enemies crucified him

Jesus on the cross

The crucifixion of Jesus

Paragraph 19:16b–22

The soldiers nailed Jesus to a cross to die. Pilate wrote a sign announcing that he was the King of the Jews. The high priests complained about this sign, but Pilate did not change it.

19:18a

There they crucified Him,

They crucified Jesus there,
When they arrived at that place, the soldiers nailed him to a cross.

There they crucified Him: The soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross to die on Golgotha, The Place of the Skull.

There they nailed him to the cross. (NLT)

There Jesus was nailed to the cross. (CEV)

There: This refers to The Place of the Skull. Refer back to this place in a way that is natural in your language. For example:

At that place

they: This pronoun refers to the soldiers. In some languages you may want to make this explicit. For example

The soldiers (GW)

crucified Him: The verb crucified refers to nailing someone to a cross to die. See the note on 19:6 for more information. In some languages it may be natural to make it explicit that Jesus was the one whom the soldiers crucified. For example:

crucified Jesus (NCV)

19:18b

and with Him two others,

along with two other men.
They also nailed two other men to crosses,

and with Him two others: This phrase is short for “and they crucified two other men there also.” The soldiers nailed two other men to crosses at the same time and place as they nailed Jesus to a cross. In some languages it may be natural to translate this as a separate clause, supplying a verb. For example:

and they also crucified two other men (GNT)

There were two others which they also nailed to crosses.

19:18c

one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.

They placed the two men on either side of Jesus, and Jesus in the middle.
one on each side, with Jesus’ cross in the middle.

one on each side, with Jesus in the middle: There were three crosses. The cross Jesus was on was in the middle, between the other two crosses. Translate this phrase so that it does not sound like all three men were on the same cross. Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

one on either side, with Jesus between them (NRSV)

Jesus’ cross was in the middle, between them.

General Comment on 19:18b–c

In some languages it may be natural to rearrange or combine the information in 19:18b–c. For example:

and on each side of him a man was also nailed to a cross (CEV)

General Comment on 19:16b–18

In the Greek text 19:16b–18 forms one long sentence. Most English translations break this into at least two sentences. Use the sentence length that is natural in your language. Here is an example of how it can be translated into several shorter sentences:

^16bSo the soldiers took Jesus. ^17aHe carried his own cross ^17band went out of the city to a location called The Skull. ^17c(In Hebrew this place is called Golgotha.) ^18aThe soldiers crucified Jesus ^18band two other men there. ^18cJesus was in the middle. (GW)

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19

On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
