The Gospel According to John
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was GOD
Chapter 19
  1. So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.  (Luke 23:16)
  2. And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe.
  3. Then they said, "Hail, King of the Jews!"  And they struck Him with their hands.  (Isaiah 50:6)
  4. Pilate then went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in Him."  (John 18:33;   John 18:38)
  5. Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe.  And Pilate said to them, "Behold the Man!"
  6. Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, "Crucify Him, crucify Him!"  Pilate said to them, "You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him."  (John 18:38)
  7. The Jews answered Him, "We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God."  (Lev. 24:16;   Matt. 26:63-66;   John 8:53)
  8. Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid,
  9. and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, "Where are You from?"  But Jesus gave him no answer.   (Isaiah 53:7;   Mark 15:3)
  10. Then Pilate said to Him, "Are You not speaking to me?  Do You not know that I have power to crucify You, and power to release You?"
  11. Jesus answered, "You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above.  Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin."  (Luke 22:53;   Rom. 13:1)
  12. From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar's friend.  Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."
  13. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgement seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.  (1 Sam. 15:24)
  14. Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour.  And he said to the Jews, "Behold Your King!"
  15. But they cried out, "Away with Him, away with Him!  Crucify Him!"  Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?"  The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"
  16. So he delivered Him to them to be crucified.  So they took Jesus and led Him away.
  17. And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,  (Numbers 15:36;   Matt. 27:33)
  18. where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the centre.
    (Ps. 22:16-18;   Is. 53:12;   John 3:14)
  19. Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross.  And the writing was:  (Matt. 27:37)
      JESUS OF NAZARETH,
      THE KING OF THE JEWS.
  20. Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
  21. Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'He said, "I am the King of the Jews."'"
  22. Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
  23. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic.  Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.
    (Luke 23:34)
  24. They said therefore among themselves, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:
      "They divided My garments among them,
        And for My clothing they cast lots."  (Psalm 22:18)
    Therefore the soldiers did these things.
  25. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.  (John 2:1)
  26. When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!"  (John 2:4;   John 13:23;   John 20:2)
  27. Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!"  And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.  (John 1:11;   John 16:32)
  28. After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst!"  (Psalm 22:15)
  29. Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.  (Ps. 22:15;   Ps. 69:21;   Matt. 27:48-50)
  30. So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!"  And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.  (John 17:4)
  31. Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.  (Ex. 12:16)
  32. Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was 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.
    (1 John 5:6-8;   Zech. 12:10)
  35. And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe.  (John 20:31;   John 21:24)
  36. For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, "Not one of His bones shall be broken."  (Exodus 12:46;   Psalm 34:20)
  37. And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they pierced."  (Zech. 12:10)
  38. After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission.  So he came and took the body of Jesus.  (John 7:13)
  39. And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.  (Matt. 2:11;   John 3:1&2;   John 7:50)
  40. Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.  (John 11:44)
  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. So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews' Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby.
