|
1 |
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. |
|
|
2 |
And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on
his head, and they dressed him in a purple robe.
|
|
3 |
They kept coming up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the
Jews!” and striking him on the face.
|
|
4 |
Pilate went out again and said to them, ”Look, I am
bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no case against him.”
|
|
5 |
So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the
purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Here is the man”
|
|
6 |
When the chief priests and the police saw him, they
shouted, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him
yourselves and crucify him; I find no case against him.”
|
|
7 |
The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to
that law he ought to die because he has claimed to be the Son of God.”
|
|
8 |
Now when Pilate heard this, he was more afraid than
ever. |
|
9 |
He entered his headquarters again and asked Jesus,
“Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.
|
|
10 |
Pilate therefore said to him, “Do you refuse to speak
to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to
crucify you?”
|
|
11 |
Jesus answered him,
“You would have no power over me unless it had
been given you from above; therefore the one who handed me over to you is
guilty of a greater sin.” |
|
12 |
From then on Pilate tried to release him, but the Jews
cried out, “If you release this man, you are no friend of the emperor.
Everyone who claims to be a king sets himself against the emperor.”
|
|
13 |
When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside
and sat on the judge's bench at a place called The Stone Pavement, or in
Hebrew Gabbatha.
|
|
14 |
Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover; and
it was about noon. He said to the Jews, “Here is your King!”
|
|
15 |
They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him!
Crucify him!” Pilate asked them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief
priests answered, “We have no king but the emperor.”
|
|
16 |
Then he handed him over to them to be crucified. So
they took Jesus;
|
|
17 |
and carrying the cross by himself, he went out to what
is called The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
|
|
18 |
There they crucified him, and with him two others, one
on either side, with Jesus between them.
|
|
19 |
Pilate also had an inscription written and put on the
cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”
|
|
20 |
Many of the Jews read this inscription, because the
place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in
Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
|
|
21 |
Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do
not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘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
clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier. They also
took his tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top.
|
|
24 |
So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but
cast lots for it to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill what the
scripture says, “They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my
clothing they cast lots.”
|
|
25 |
And that is what the soldiers did. Meanwhile, standing
near 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 beside her, he said to his mother,
“Woman, here is your son.”
|
|
27 |
Then he said to the disciple,
“Here is your mother.” And from that
hour the disciple took her into his own home.
|
|
28 |
After this, when Jesus knew that all was now finished,
he said (in order to fulfill the scripture), “I
am thirsty.”
|
|
29 |
A jar full of sour wine was standing there. So they
put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his
mouth.
|
|
30 |
When Jesus had received the wine, he said,
“It is finished.” Then he bowed his head
and gave up his spirit.
|
|
31 |
Since it was the day of Preparation, the Jews did not
want the bodies left on the cross during the sabbath, especially because
that sabbath was a day of great solemnity. So they asked Pilate to have the
legs of the crucified men broken and the bodies removed.
|
|
32 |
Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first
and of 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 |
Instead, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a
spear, and at once blood and water came out.
|
|
35 |
(He who saw this has testified so that you also may
believe. His testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth.)
|
|
36 |
These things occurred so that the scripture might be
fulfilled, “None of his bones shall be broken.”
|
|
37 |
And again another passage of scripture says, “They will
look on the one whom they have pierced.”
|
|
38 |
After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a
disciple of Jesus, though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews,
asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him
permission; so he came and removed his body.
|
|
39 |
Nicodemus, who had at first come to Jesus by night,
also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about a hundred
pounds.
|
|
40 |
They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the
spices in linen cloths, according to the burial custom of the Jews.
|
|
41 |
Now there was a garden in the place where he was
crucified, and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had ever
been laid.
|
|
42 |
And so, because it was the Jewish day of Preparation,
and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
