1Then therefore Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.
2And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and put on him a purple robe, and approached him
3and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and they gave him blows on the face.
4Again Pilate went forth, and saith to them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find nothing criminal in him.
5Jesus therefore came forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And [[Pilate]] saith to them, Behold the man!
6When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify! crucify! Pilate saith to them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him; for I find nothing criminal in him.
7The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8When Pilate therefore heard this, he was the more afraid;
9and went again into the palace, and saith to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10Pilate saith to him, Dost thou not speak to me? Dost thou not know that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?
11Jesus answered, Thou wouldst have no power against me, unless it had been given thee from above; for this cause he that delivered me up to thee hath the greater sin.
12From this time Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not a friend of Caesar. Every one that maketh himself a king, setteth himself against Caesar.
13When therefore Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down on the judgment-seat, in a place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14Now it was the preparation of the passover. It was about the sixth hour. And he saith to the Jews, Behold your king!
15Upon this they cried out, Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him! Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16Then therefore he delivered him up to them to be crucified. They therefore took Jesus;
17and bearing his own cross, he went forth into the place called Place of a Skull; in Hebrew, Golgotha;
18where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst.
19And Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, “Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews.”
20This inscription therefore was read by many of the Jews; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not, The king of the Jews; but that he said, I am king of the Jews.
22Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
23Then 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.
24They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. That the scripture might be fulfilled: “They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots.” These things the soldiers did.
25Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary the Magdalene.
26Jesus therefore, when he saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by, saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27Then he saith to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
28After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now finished, in order that the Scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst.
29A vessel was brought full of vinegar; and putting a sponge filled with vinegar upon a stalk of hyssop, they raised it to his mouth.
30When therefore he had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished! and he bowed his head, and yielded up his spirit.
31The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath, for that sabbath was a great day, besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him.
33But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they broke not his legs;
34but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.
35And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true; and he knoweth that he saith what is true, that ye also may believe.
36For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him shall not be broken.”
37And again another scripture saith, “They shall look on him whom they pierced.”
38And after this, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but concealing it for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. They came therefore and took him away.
39Nicodemus also, he who at the first went to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.
40Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the manner of the Jews in preparing for burial.
41Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.
42There then, on account of the Jews' preparation-day, they laid Jesus; for the tomb was at hand.
