הבשורה על-פי יוחנן 19
Habrit Hakhadasha/Haderekh
יט אז לקח פילטוס את ישוע והלקה אותו בשוטים. 2 החיילים שזרו זר קוצים, הניחוהו על ראשו והלבישו בו גלימת ארגמן. 3 "יחי מלך היהודים!" קראו בלעג, והכו אותו באגרופיהם. 4 פילטוס יצא אל הקהל ואמר: "אני מוציא אליכם את ישוע כדי שתדעו שמצאתי אותו חף מפשע!" 5 ישוע יצא החוצה, ראשו עטור זר קוצים ולגופו גלימת ארגמן. "הנה האיש!" קרא פילטוס.
6 כאשר ראו אותו ראשי הכוהנים והמשרתים, קראו: "צלוב אותו! צלוב אותו!"
"צלבו אותו בעצמכם," השיב להם פילטוס, "כי אני לא מצאתי בו כל אשמה."
7 "לפי תורתנו עליו למות," קראו היהודים, "כיוון שקרא לעצמו בן-האלוהים."
8 לשמע דברים אלה גבר פחדו של פילטוס. 9 הוא החזיר את ישוע לבית-המשפט ושאל אותו: "מאין אתה?" אולם ישוע לא ענה דבר.
10 מדוע אינך עונה לי?" שאל פילטוס. "הרי אתה יודע כי יש בכוחי לצלוב אותך או לשחרר אותך!"
11 אבל ישוע השיב: "לולא קיבלת רשות מלמעלה, לא היית יכול לעשות לי דבר. לכן אשמת המסגירים אותי גדולה מאשמתך."
12 כששמע פילטוס דברים אלה ניסה לשחרר את ישוע, אולם היהודים התנגדו ואמרו: "אם תשחרר אותו תגלה חוסר נאמנות לקיסר, מפני שכל העושה עצמו למלך מורד בקיסר!"
13 לשמע דברים אלה שוב הוציא פילטוס אליהם את ישוע, והוא עצמו מתיישב על כסא המשפט, במקום שנקרא: 'רצפה' או 'גבתא'. 14 כל זה התרחש בערב פסח, בשעה שתים-עשרה בצהריים.
"הנה מלככם!" קרא פילטוס לעבר היהודים.
"קח אותו מכאן! צלוב אותו!" הם צעקו.
15 "מה? לצלוב את מלככם?" שאל פילטוס.
"רק הקיסר הוא מלכנו!" קראו ראשי הכוהנים.
16 פילטוס נכנע ומסר להם את ישוע כדי שיצלבו אותו.
17 הם לקחו את ישוע, נתנו לו לשאת את צלבו, וכולם הלכו למקום הנקרא מקום הגולגולת או בעברית גלגלתא. 18 הם צלבו אותו שם יחד עם שני אנשים אחרים - האחד לימינו והשני לשמאלו. 19 פילטוס כתב שלט בזו הלשון: 'ישוע מנצרת, מלך היהודים' ותלה אותו על הצלב. 20 יהודים רבים קראו את הכתוב על השלט, כי ישוע נצלב קרוב לעיר, והשלט נכתב בעברית, ביוונית וברומית.
21 ראשי הוכהנים ביקשו מפילטוס לתקן את הכתוב: "אל תכתוב 'מלך היהודים', אלא: 'הוא טוען שהוא מלך היהודים'."
22 "את מה שכתבתי כתבתי," ענה פילטוס."
מעשה זה קיים את הנבואה מתהילים[a]: "יחלקו בגדי להם, ועל לבושי יפילו גורל." כך עשו החיילים.
25 ליד הצלב עמדו אמו, דודתו, מרים אשת קלופס ומרים המגדלית. 26 כשראה ישוע את אמו עומדת ליד תלמידו האהוב, אמר לה: "אמא, זהו בנך." 27 ואל תלמידו האהוב אמר: "זוהי אמך." והתלמיד אסף אותה לביתו מאז ואילך.
28 ישוע ידע שהכל הסתיים, וכדי למלא את הכתוב אמר: "אני צמא." 29 בקרבת מקום עמד כד מלא חומץ. הם טבלו ספוג בחומץ, תקעו את הספוג בקצה ענף אזוב והגישוהו לפיו.
30 ישוע טעם מהחומץ וקרא: "נשלם." הוא היטה ראשו הצידה ונפח נשמתו.
31 הואיל והיה ערב שבת, לפני שבת של פסח, לא רצו מנהיגי היהודים להשאיר את הגופות על הצלבים למשך השבת. על כן ביקשו מפיליטוס לשבור את עצמות רגליהם של הנצלבים, כדי להחיש את מותם וכדי שאפשר יהיה להוריד את הגופות. 32 החיילים באו ושברו את רגלי השניים שנצלבו לצדי ישוע. 33 כשניגשו אל ישוע הוכחו שהוא כבר מת, ולכן לא שברו את עצמות רגליו. 34 אחד החיילים דקר את צידו בחנית, ומיד יצאו דם ומים מגופו. 35 זה שראה את כל זאת יודע שדבריו נכונים, והוא מספר לכם אותם כדי שתאמינו גם אתם. 36 כך מלאו החיילים את הכתוב[b]: "ועצם לא תשברו בו." 37 ובספר זכריה כתוב[c]: "והביטו אלי את אשר דקרו." 38 לאחר מכן בא אל פילטוס יוסף הרמתי, שהיה תלמידו של ישוע אך שמר על כך בסוד מפחד מנהיגי היהודים, וביקש רשות לקחת את גופתו של ישוע; והרשות ניתנה.
39 גם נקדימון בא לשם - אותו איש שבא אל ישוע בלילה - והביא איתו כשלושים קילוגרם של מרקחת יקרה העשויה מבשמים ושמנים. 40 השניים לקחו את גופת ישוע ועטפוה בתכריכים עם בשמים, כמנהג הקבורה היהודית. 41 קרוב למקום הצליבה היה גן ובו קבר חדש שאיש לא נקבר בו מעולם. 42 הם קברו בו את ישוע מפני שהיה ערב שבת והקבר היה בקרבת מקום.

19 فَأمَرَ بِيلَاطُسُ بِأنْ يُؤخَذَ يَسُوعُ وَيُجلَدَ. 2 فَصَنَعَ الجُنُودُ تَاجًا مِنَ الشَّوكِ وَوَضَعُوهُ عَلَى رَأسِهِ، ثُمَّ ألبَسُوهُ رِدَاءً أُرجُوانِيَّ اللَّونِ.[a] 3 وَكَانُوا يَأْتُونَ إلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُونَ: «نُحَيِّيكَ يَا مَلِكَ اليَهُودِ!» وَكَانُوا يَصْفَعُونَهُ.
4 ثُمَّ خَرَجَ بِيلَاطُسُ ثَانِيَةً وَقَالَ لَهمْ: «هَا أنَا أُخرِجُهُ إلَيكُمْ لِكَي تَعْلَمُوا أنِّي لَا أجِدُ مَا أتَّهِمُهُ بِهِ.» 5 فَخَرَجَ يَسُوعُ لَابِسًا تَاجَ الشَّوكِ وَالرِّدَاءَ الأُرجُوانِيَّ. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بِيلَاطُسُ: «هَا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ!»
6 فَلَمَّا رَآهُ كِبَارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَحُرَّاسُ الهَيْكَلِ، صَرَخُوا: «اصلِبْهُ! اصلِبْهُ!» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بِيلَاطُسُ: «أنْتُمْ خُذُوهُ وَاصلِبُوهُ! فَأنَا لَا أجِدُ مَا أتَّهِمُهُ بِهِ.» 7 فَأجَابَهُ اليَهُودُ: «لَدَيْنَا شَرِيعَةٌ، وَوَفقَ شَرِيعَتِنَا يَنْبَغِي أنْ يَمُوتَ هَذَا، لِأنَّهُ ادَّعَى أنَّهُ ابْنُ اللهِ!»
8 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِيلَاطُسُ هَذَا خَافَ كَثِيرًا. 9 فَدَخَلَ إلَى قَصْرِ الوَالِي ثَانِيَةً وَقَالَ لِيَسُوعَ: «مِنْ أيْنَ أنْتَ؟» لَكِنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يُجِبْهُ. 10 فَقَالَ لَهُ بِيلَاطُسُ: «أتَرْفُضُ أنْ تُكَلِّمَنِي؟ ألَا تَعْلَمُ أنَّنِي أملُكُ سُلطَةً لإخلَاءِ سَبِيلِكَ، وَسُلطَةً لِصَلْبِكَ؟»
11 أجَابَهُ يَسُوعُ: «مَا كُنْتَ لِتَمْلُكَ أيَّةَ سُلطَةٍ عَلَيَّ لَوْ لَمْ يُعطِكَ إيَّاهَا اللهُ. لِذَلِكَ فَإنَّ خَطِيَّةَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي سَلَّمَنِي إلَيْكَ أعْظَمُ مِنْ خَطِيَّتِكَ.»
12 بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَدَأ بِيلَاطُسُ يُحَاوِلُ أنْ يَجِدَ طَرِيقَةً لإطلَاقِ يَسُوعَ. لَكِنَّ اليَهُودَ صَرَخُوا: «إنْ أطلَقْتَهُ، فَلَسْتَ مُوالِيًا لِلقَيصَرِ! فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَقُولُ إنَّهُ مَلِكٌ هُوَ عَدُوٌّ لِلقَيصَرِ.»
13 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِيلَاطُسُ هَذَا الكَلَامَ، أخْرَجَ يَسُوعَ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ عَلَى كُرسِيِّ القَضَاءِ فِي مَكَانٍ يُدْعَى «البَلَاطَ» وَبِالآرَامِيَّةِ «جَبَّاتَا.» 14 وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ ظُهْرَ يَوْمِ الجُمْعَةِ، يَوْمَ الاسْتِعدَادِ لِلفِصْحِ. فَقَالَ بِيلَاطُسُ لِليَهُودِ: «هَا هُوَ مَلِكُكُمْ!»
15 فَصَرَخُوا: «أبعِدْهُ عَنَّا! أبعِدْهُ! اصلِبْهُ!» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بِيلَاطُسُ: «هَلْ أصلِبُ مَلِكَكُمْ؟» فَأجَابَهُ كِبَارُ الكَهَنَةِ: «لَيْسَ لَنَا مَلِكٌ سِوَى القَيصَرِ!»
16 حِينَئِذٍ سَلَّمَهُ بِيلَاطُسُ إلَيْهِمْ لِكَي يُصلَبَ.
يَسُوعُ عَلَى الصَّلِيب
(مَتَّى 27:32-44؛ مَرْقُس 15:21-32؛ لُوقَا 23:26-43)
فَأخَذَ الجُنُودُ يَسُوعَ. 17 فَمَضَى حَامِلًا صَلِيبَهُ إلَى مَكَانٍ يُدْعَى «مَكَانَ الجُمجُمَةِ،» وَبِالآرَامِيَّةِ «جُلجُثَةَ.» 18 فَصَلَبُوهُ هُنَاكَ، وَصَلَبُوا مَعْهُ رَجُلَينِ آخَرَينِ. فَكَانَ أحَدُهُمَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَالآخَرُ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ، وَيَسُوعُ فِي الوَسَطِ.
19 وَكَتَبَ بِيلَاطُسُ لَافِتَةً تَقُولُ: «يَسُوعُ النَّاصِرِيُّ، مَلِكُ اليَهُودِ.» وَعَلَّقَهَا عَلَى الصَّلِيبِ. 20 فَقَرَأهَا كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ اليَهُودِ، لِأنَّ المَكَانَ الَّذِي صُلِبَ فِيهِ يَسُوعُ كَانَ قُرْبَ المَدِينَةِ. وَكَانَتِ اللَّافِتَةُ مَكْتُوبَةً بِالعِبرِيَّةِ وَاللَّاتِينِيَّةِ وَاليُونَانِيَّةِ.
21 فَقَالَ كِبَارُ كَهَنَةِ اليَهُودِ لِبِيلَاطُسَ: «لَا تَكْتُبْ ‹مَلِكَ اليَهُودِ،› بَلِ اكتُبْ: ‹قَالَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ: أنَا مَلِكُ اليَهُودِ.›»
22 فَأجَابَ بِيلَاطُسُ: «فَاتَ الأوَانُ، فَقَدْ كَتَبْتُ مَا كَتَبْتُ.»
23 وَكَانَ الجُنُودُ، بَعْدَ أنْ صَلَبُوا يَسُوعَ، قَدْ أخَذُوا ثِيَابَهُ وَقَسَّمُوهَا إلَى أرْبَعَةِ أقسَامٍ. وَأخَذَ كُلُّ جُندِيٍّ قِسْمًا مِنْهَا. وَأخَذُوا أيْضًا قَمِيصَهُ الطَّوِيلَ، لَكِنَّ القَمِيصَ كَانَ قِطعَةً وَاحِدَةً مَنسُوجَةً بِغَيرِ خِيَاطَةٍ مِنَ الأعْلَى إلَى الأسفَلِ. 24 فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «لَا نُمَزِّقُ هَذَا القَمِيصَ، بَلْ نُجرِي عَلَيْهِ قُرعَةً لِنَرَى لِمَنْ يَكُونُ.» حَدَثَ هَذَا لِكَي يَتَحَقَّقَ قَولُ الكِتَابِ:
«اقتَسَمُوا ثِيَابِي فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ،
وَعَلَى قَمِيصِي ألقَوْا قُرعَةً.»[b]
وَهَذَا مَا فَعَلَهُ الجُنُودُ.
25 وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ يَسُوعَ وَأُختُهَا، وَمَريَمُ زَوْجَةُ كِلُوبَا، وَمَريَمُ المَجْدَلِيَّةُ وَاقِفَاتٍ عِنْدَ الصَّلِيبِ. 26 فَرَأى يَسُوعُ أُمَّهُ وَالتِّلمِيذَ الَّذِي كَانَ يُحِبُّهُ وَاقِفَينِ هُنَاكَ. فَقَالَ لِأُمِّهِ: «يَا سَيِّدَةُ، هَا هُوَ ابْنُكِ.» 27 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلتِّلمِيذِ: «هَا هِيَ أُمُّكَ.» فَأخَذَهَا ذَلِكَ التِّلمِيذُ لِتَعِيشَ فِي بَيْتِهِ مُنْذُ ذَلِكَ الوَقْتِ.
مَوْتُ يَسُوع
(مَتَّى 27:45-56؛ مَرْقُس 15:33-41؛ لُوقَا 23:44-49)
28 وَإذْ رَأى يَسُوعُ أنَّ كُلَّ شَيءٍ قَدْ تَمَّ، قَالَ: «أنَا عَطشَانُ،»[c] لِكَي يَتَحَقَّقَ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ. 29 وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ إنَاءٌ مَملُوءٌ بِالخَلِّ. فَغَمَسُوا إسْفِنجَةً فِي الخَلِّ وَرَفَعُوهَا عَلَى سَاقِ نَبتَةِ زُوفَا، وَوَضَعُوهَا عَلَى فَمِ يَسُوعَ. 30 فَلَمَّا ذَاقَ يَسُوعُ الخَلَّ، قَالَ: «قَدْ تَمَّ.» ثُمَّ حَنَى رَأسَهُ وَمَاتَ.
31 حَدَثَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ الاسْتِعدَادِ لِلسَّبْتِ، فَطَلَبَ اليَهُودُ مِنْ بِيلَاطُسَ أنْ يَأْمُرَ بِكَسْرِ سِيقَانِ المَصلُوبِينَ وَإنزَالِ أجسَادِهِمْ عَنِ الصُّلبَانِ، لِكَي لَا تَبْقَى الأجسَادُ عَلَى الصُّلبَانِ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ. فَقَدْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ السَّبْتُ يَومًا مُهِمًّا جِدًّا. 32 فَجَاءَ الجُنُودُ وَكَسَرُوا سَاقَي الرَّجُلَينِ المَصلُوبَينِ مَعَ يَسُوعَ.
33 أمَّا يَسُوعُ فَلَمْ يَكْسِرُوا سَاقَيهِ، لِأنَّهُمْ لَمَّا جَاءُوا إلَيْهِ وَجَدُوا أنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ. 34 لَكِنَّ وَاحِدًا مِنَ الجُنُودِ طَعَنَ جَنبَهُ بِرُمحِهِ، فَتَدَفَّقَ مِنْهُ عَلَى الفَوْرِ دَمٌ وَمَاءٌ. 35 وَمَنْ رَأى ذَلِكَ يَشْهَدُ، وَشَهَادَتُهُ صَادِقَةٌ، وَهُوَ يَعْرِفُ أنَّهُ يَقُولُ الصِّدْقَ، لِكَي تُؤمِنُوا أنْتُمْ أيْضًا. 36 وَقَدْ حَدَثَ هَذَا لِكَي يَتَحَقَّقَ قَولُ الكِتَابِ: «لَا يُكسَرُ عَظمٌ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ عِظَامِهِ.»[d] 37 وَقَولُهُ فِي مَوضِعٍ آخَرَ: «سَيَنْظُرُ النَّاسُ إلَى ذَاكَ الَّذِي طَعَنُوهُ.»[e]
دَفْنُ يَسُوع
(مَتَّى 27:57-61؛ مَرْقُس 15:42-47؛ لُوقَا 23:50-56)
38 بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ يُوسُفُ الرَّامِيُّ، وَطَلَبَ إذْنًا مِنْ بِيلَاطُسَ كَي يُنزِلَ جَسَدَ يَسُوعَ عَنِ الصَّلِيبِ وَيَأْخُذَهُ. وَكَانَ يُوسُفُ مِنْ أتبَاعِ يَسُوعَ فِي الخَفَاءِ، فَقَدْ كَانَ يَخْشَى اليَهُودَ! فَأذِنَ لَهُ بِيلَاطُسُ بِذَلِكَ. فَجَاءَ يُوسُفُ وَأنزَلَ الجَسَدَ عَنِ الصَّلِيبِ.
39 كَمَا جَاءَ أيْضًا نِيقُودِيمُوسُ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ جَاءَ إلَى يَسُوعَ لَيْلًا،[f] وَكَانَ يَحْمِلُ خَلِيطًا مِنْ خُلَاصَةِ نَبَاتَيِّ المُرِّ[g] وَالصَّبْرِ[h] يَزِنُ نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ كِيلُو غَرَامًا.[i] 40 فَأخَذَا جَسَدَ يَسُوعَ وَلَفَّاهُ بِالأكفَانِ مَعَ الأطيَابِ، حَسَبَ عَادَاتِ الدَّفْنِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ. 41 وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ بُستَانٌ فِي المَكَانِ الَّذِي صُلِبَ فِيهِ يَسُوعُ. وَكَانَ فِي البُستَانِ قَبْرٌ جَدِيدٌ لَمْ يُدفَنْ فِيهِ أحَدٌ مِنْ قَبْلُ. 42 فَوَضَعَا يَسُوعَ هُنَاكَ لِأنَّهُ كَانَ يَوْمَ استِعدَادِ اليَهُودِ لِلسَّبْتِ، وَلِأنَّ القَبْرَ كَانَ قَرِيبًا.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus(A)
19 So then (B)Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. 2 And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe. 3 [a]Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they (C)struck Him with their hands.
4 Pilate then went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, (D)that you may know that I find no fault in Him.”
Pilate’s Decision
5 Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!”
6 (E)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.”
7 The Jews answered him, (F)“We have a law, and according to [b]our law He ought to die, because (G)He made Himself the Son of God.”
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?” (H)But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then Pilate said to Him, “Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have [c]power to crucify You, and power to release You?”
11 Jesus answered, (I)“You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore (J)the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”
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. (K)Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.”
13 (L)When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now (M)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, (N)“We have no king but Caesar!”
16 (O)Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. Then they took Jesus [d]and led Him away.
The King on a Cross(P)
17 (Q)And He, bearing His cross, (R)went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, 18 where they crucified Him, and (S)two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center. 19 (T)Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was:
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 Therefore 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 (U)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. 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:
(V)“They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.”
Therefore the soldiers did these things.
Behold Your Mother
25 (W)Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of (X)Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and (Y)the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, (Z)“Woman, behold your son!” 27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her (AA)to his own home.
It Is Finished
28 After this, Jesus, [e]knowing that all things were now accomplished, (AB)that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” 29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and (AC)they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. 30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, (AD)“It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
Jesus’ Side Is Pierced
31 (AE)Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, (AF)that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a (AG)high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 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 (AH)blood and water came out. 35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is (AI)true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may (AJ)believe. 36 For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, (AK)“Not one of His bones shall be broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, (AL)“They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”
Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb(AM)
38 (AN)After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, (AO)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. 39 And (AP)Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of (AQ)myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. 40 Then they took the body of Jesus, and (AR)bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom 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 tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So (AS)there they laid Jesus, (AT)because of the Jews’ Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby.

Jesus Sentenced to Be Crucified(A)
19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.(B) 2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe 3 and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(C) And they slapped him in the face.(D)
4 Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing him out(E) to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”(F) 5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe,(G) Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
6 As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”
But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him.(H) As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”(I)
7 The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die,(J) because he claimed to be the Son of God.”(K)
8 When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 9 and he went back inside the palace.(L) “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.(M) 10 “Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?”
11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above.(N) Therefore the one who handed me over to you(O) is guilty of a greater sin.”
12 From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king(P) opposes Caesar.”
13 When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge’s seat(Q) at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic(R) is Gabbatha). 14 It was the day of Preparation(S) of the Passover; it was about noon.(T)
“Here is your king,”(U) Pilate said to the Jews.
15 But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”
“Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked.
“We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.
16 Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.(V)
The Crucifixion of Jesus(W)
So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. 17 Carrying his own cross,(X) he went out to the place of the Skull(Y) (which in Aramaic(Z) is called Golgotha). 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others(AA)—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth,(AB) the king of the jews.(AC) 20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city,(AD) and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.”(AE)
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24 “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.”
This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled(AF) that said,
So this is what the soldiers did.
25 Near the cross(AH) of Jesus stood his mother,(AI) his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.(AJ) 26 When Jesus saw his mother(AK) there, and the disciple whom he loved(AL) standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,[b] here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
The Death of Jesus(AM)
28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished,(AN) and so that Scripture would be fulfilled,(AO) Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar(AP) was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.”(AQ) With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
31 Now it was the day of Preparation,(AR) and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses(AS) during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.(AT) 33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced(AU) Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.(AV) 35 The man who saw it(AW) has given testimony, and his testimony is true.(AX) He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled:(AY) “Not one of his bones will be broken,”[c](AZ) 37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”[d](BA)
The Burial of Jesus(BB)
38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders.(BC) With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus,(BD) the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[e] 40 Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen.(BE) This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.(BF) 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation(BG) and since the tomb was nearby,(BH) they laid Jesus there.
