The Gospel according to |
| St. John | | 19 |
|
| 1 |
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
|
| 2 |
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
|
| 3 |
and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
|
| 4 |
Pilate 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.
|
| 5 |
Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
|
| 6 |
When 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.
|
| 7 |
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
|
| 8 |
When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
|
| 9 |
and went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
|
| 10 |
Then 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?
|
| 11 |
Jesus 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.
|
| 12 |
¶ And 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.
|
| 13 |
When 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, Gab'batha.
|
| 14 |
And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
|
| 15 |
But 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.
|
| 16 |
Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
|
The Crucifixion |
| Mt. 27.32-50 · Mk. 15.21-37 · Lk. 23.26-49 |
| 17 |
¶ And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Gol'gotha:
|
| 18 |
where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
|
| 19 |
And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
|
| 20 |
This 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.
|
| 21 |
Then 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.
|
| 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 every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
|
| 24 |
They 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. Ps. 22.18 |
|
| | | These things therefore the soldiers did. |
| 25 |
¶ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cle'ophas, and Mary Mag'dalene.
|
| 26 |
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
|
| 27 |
Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
|
| 28 |
¶ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
|
| 29 |
Now 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. Ps. 69.21
|
| 30 |
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
|
Jesus' Side Pierced |
| 31 |
¶ The 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 a high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
|
| 32 |
Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
|
| 33 |
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
|
| 34 |
but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
|
| 35 |
And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true; and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
|
| 36 |
For these things were done, that the Scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. Ex. 12.46 · Num. 9.12 · Ps. 34.20
|
| 37 |
And again another Scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. Zech. 12.10 · Rev. 1.7
|
The Burial of Jesus |
| Mt. 27.57-61 · Mk. 15.42-47 · Lk. 23.50-56 |
| 38 |
¶ And after this Joseph of Arimathe'a, 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.
|
| 39 |
And there came also Nicode'mus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, Joh. 3.1, 2 and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight.
|
| 40 |
Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
|
| 41 |
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
|
| 42 |
There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
