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.

19 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, Gabbatha.
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.
17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
18 Where they crucified him, and two other 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. 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 Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
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 spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
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 an 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.
37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, 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 Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an 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.

La sentencia(A)
19 Pilato tomó entonces a Jesús y mandó que lo azotaran. 2 Los soldados, que habían trenzado una corona de espinas, se la pusieron a Jesús en la cabeza y lo vistieron con un manto color púrpura.
3 —¡Viva el rey de los judíos! —gritaban, mientras se acercaban para abofetearlo.
4 Pilato volvió a salir.
—Aquí lo tienen —dijo a los judíos—. Lo he traído para que sepan que no lo encuentro culpable de nada.
5 Cuando salió Jesús, llevaba puestos la corona de espinas y el manto color púrpura.
—¡Aquí tienen al hombre! —les dijo Pilato.
6 Tan pronto como lo vieron, los jefes de los sacerdotes y los guardias gritaron a voz en cuello:
—¡Crucifícalo! ¡Crucifícalo!
—Pues llévenselo y crucifíquenlo ustedes —respondió Pilato—. Por mi parte, no lo encuentro culpable de nada.
7 —Nosotros tenemos una Ley y según esa Ley debe morir, porque se ha hecho pasar por Hijo de Dios —insistieron los judíos.
8 Al oír esto, Pilato se atemorizó aún más, 9 así que entró de nuevo en el palacio y preguntó a Jesús:
—¿De dónde eres tú?
Pero Jesús no contestó nada.
10 —¿Te niegas a hablarme? —dijo Pilato—. ¿No te das cuenta de que tengo poder para ponerte en libertad o para mandar que te crucifiquen?
11 —No tendrías ningún poder sobre mí si no se te hubiera dado de arriba —contestó Jesús—. Por eso el que me puso en tus manos es culpable de un pecado más grande.
12 Desde entonces, Pilato procuraba poner en libertad a Jesús, pero los judíos gritaban desaforadamente:
—Si dejas en libertad a este hombre, no eres amigo del césar. Cualquiera que pretende ser rey se hace su enemigo.
13 Al oír esto, Pilato llevó a Jesús hacia fuera y se sentó en el tribunal, en un lugar al que llamaban el Empedrado, que en hebreo se dice «Gabatá». 14 Era el día de la preparación para la Pascua, cerca del mediodía.
—Aquí tienen a su rey —dijo Pilato a los judíos.
15 —¡Fuera! ¡Fuera! ¡Crucifícalo! —vociferaron.
—¿Acaso voy a crucificar a su rey? —respondió Pilato.
—No tenemos más rey que el césar —contestaron los jefes de los sacerdotes.
16 Entonces Pilato se lo entregó para que lo crucificaran y los soldados se lo llevaron.
La crucifixión(B)
17 Jesús salió cargando su propia cruz hacia el lugar de la Calavera, que en hebreo se llama «Gólgota». 18 Allí lo crucificaron y con él a otros dos, uno a cada lado y Jesús en medio.
19 Pilato mandó que se pusiera sobre la cruz un letrero en el que estuviera escrito:
jesús de nazaret, rey de los judíos.
20 Muchos de los judíos lo leyeron, porque el sitio en que crucificaron a Jesús estaba cerca de la ciudad. El letrero estaba escrito en hebreo, latín y griego.
21 —No escribas “rey de los judíos” —protestaron ante Pilato los jefes de los sacerdotes judíos—. Era él quien decía ser rey de los judíos.
22 —Lo que he escrito, escrito queda —contestó Pilato.
23 Cuando los soldados crucificaron a Jesús, tomaron su manto y lo partieron en cuatro partes, una para cada uno de ellos. Tomaron también la túnica, la cual no tenía costura, sino que era de una sola pieza, tejida de arriba abajo.
24 —No la dividamos —se dijeron unos a otros—. Echemos suertes para ver a quién le toca.
Y así lo hicieron los soldados. Esto sucedió para que se cumpliera la Escritura que dice:
«Se repartieron entre ellos mi manto
y sobre mi ropa echaron suertes».[a]
25 Junto a la cruz de Jesús estaban su madre, la hermana de su madre, María, la esposa de Cleofas, y María Magdalena. 26 Cuando Jesús vio a su madre y al discípulo a quien él amaba a su lado, dijo a su madre:
—Mujer, ahí tienes a tu hijo.
27 Luego dijo al discípulo:
—Ahí tienes a tu madre.
Y desde aquel momento ese discípulo la recibió en su casa.
Muerte de Jesús(C)
28 Después de esto, como Jesús sabía que ya todo había terminado y para que se cumpliera la Escritura, dijo:
—Tengo sed.
29 Había allí una vasija llena de vinagre; así que empaparon una esponja en el vinagre, la pusieron en una rama de hisopo y se la acercaron a la boca. 30 Al probar Jesús el vinagre, dijo:
—Todo se ha cumplido.
Luego inclinó la cabeza y entregó el espíritu.
31 Era el día de la preparación para la Pascua. Los judíos no querían que los cuerpos permanecieran en la cruz en sábado, por ser este un sábado muy solemne. Así que pidieron a Pilato ordenar que quebraran las piernas a los crucificados y bajaran sus cuerpos. 32 Fueron entonces los soldados y quebraron las piernas al primer hombre que había sido crucificado con Jesús y luego al otro. 33 Pero cuando se acercaron a Jesús y vieron que ya estaba muerto, no quebraron sus piernas, 34 sino que uno de los soldados le abrió el costado con una lanza y al instante brotó sangre y agua. 35 El que lo vio ha dado testimonio de ello y su testimonio es verídico. Él sabe que dice la verdad, para que también ustedes crean. 36 Estas cosas sucedieron para que se cumpliera la Escritura: «No le quebrarán ningún hueso»[b] 37 y como dice otra Escritura: «Mirarán al que han traspasado».[c]
Sepultura de Jesús(D)
38 Después de esto, José de Arimatea pidió a Pilato el cuerpo de Jesús. José era discípulo de Jesús, aunque en secreto por miedo a los judíos. Él fue y retiró el cuerpo con el permiso de Pilato. 39 También Nicodemo, el que antes había visitado a Jesús de noche, llegó con unos treinta y tres kilogramos[d] de una mezcla de mirra y áloe. 40 Ambos tomaron el cuerpo de Jesús y, conforme a la costumbre judía de dar sepultura, lo envolvieron en vendas con las especias aromáticas. 41 En el lugar donde crucificaron a Jesús había un huerto y en el huerto, un sepulcro nuevo en el que todavía no se había sepultado a nadie. 42 Como era el día judío de la preparación para el sábado y el sepulcro estaba cerca, pusieron allí a Jesús.
