John 19
New Living Translation
Jesus Sentenced to Death
19 Then Pilate had Jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip. 2 The soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him. 3 “Hail! King of the Jews!” they mocked, as they slapped him across the face.
4 Pilate went outside again and said to the people, “I am going to bring him out to you now, but understand clearly that I find him not guilty.” 5 Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said, “Look, here is the man!”
6 When they saw him, the leading priests and Temple guards began shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
“Take him yourselves and crucify him,” Pilate said. “I find him not guilty.”
7 The Jewish leaders replied, “By our law he ought to die because he called himself the Son of God.”
8 When Pilate heard this, he was more frightened than ever. 9 He took Jesus back into the headquarters[a] again and asked him, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave no answer. 10 “Why don’t you talk to me?” Pilate demanded. “Don’t you realize that I have the power to release you or crucify you?”
11 Then Jesus said, “You would have no power over me at all unless it were given to you from above. So the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin.”
12 Then Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders shouted, “If you release this man, you are no ‘friend of Caesar.’[b] Anyone who declares himself a king is a rebel against Caesar.”
13 When they said this, Pilate brought Jesus out to them again. Then Pilate sat down on the judgment seat on the platform that is called the Stone Pavement (in Hebrew, Gabbatha). 14 It was now about noon on the day of preparation for the Passover. And Pilate said to the people,[c] “Look, here is your king!”
15 “Away with him,” they yelled. “Away with him! Crucify him!”
“What? Crucify your king?” Pilate asked.
“We have no king but Caesar,” the leading priests shouted back.
16 Then Pilate turned Jesus over to them to be crucified.
The Crucifixion
So they took Jesus away. 17 Carrying the cross by himself, he went to the place called Place of the Skull (in Hebrew, Golgotha). 18 There they nailed him to the cross. Two others were crucified with him, one on either side, with Jesus between them. 19 And Pilate posted a sign on the cross that read, “Jesus of Nazareth,[d] the King of the Jews.” 20 The place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, so that many people could read it.
21 Then the leading priests objected and said to Pilate, “Change it from ‘The King of the Jews’ to ‘He said, I am King of the Jews.’”
22 Pilate replied, “No, what I have written, I have written.”
23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided his clothes among the four of them. They also took his robe, but it was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. 24 So they said, “Rather than tearing it apart, let’s throw dice[e] for it.” This fulfilled the Scripture that says, “They divided my garments among themselves and threw dice for my clothing.”[f] So that is what they did.
25 Standing near the cross were Jesus’ mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother standing there beside the disciple he loved, he said to her, “Dear woman, here is your son.” 27 And he said to this disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from then on this disciple took her into his home.
The Death of Jesus
28 Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.”[g] 29 A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. 30 When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
31 It was the day of preparation, and the Jewish leaders didn’t want the bodies hanging there the next day, which was the Sabbath (and a very special Sabbath, because it was Passover week). So they asked Pilate to hasten their deaths by ordering that their legs be broken. Then their bodies could be taken down. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men crucified with Jesus. 33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they didn’t break his legs. 34 One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out. 35 (This report is from an eyewitness giving an accurate account. He speaks the truth so that you also may continue to believe.[h]) 36 These things happened in fulfillment of the Scriptures that say, “Not one of his bones will be broken,”[i] 37 and “They will look on the one they pierced.”[j]
The Burial of Jesus
38 Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret disciple of Jesus (because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate for permission to take down Jesus’ body. When Pilate gave permission, Joseph came and took the body away. 39 With him came Nicodemus, the man who had come to Jesus at night. He brought about seventy-five pounds[k] of perfumed ointment made from myrrh and aloes. 40 Following Jewish burial custom, they wrapped Jesus’ body with the spices in long sheets of linen cloth. 41 The place of crucifixion was near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before. 42 And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover[l] and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

19 Kaya't ipinakuha ni Pilato si Jesus at ipinahagupit. 2 Ang mga kawal ay kumuha ng halamang matinik, ginawa itong korona at ipinutong kay Jesus. Siya rin ay sinuotan nila ng balabal na kulay ube. 3 Lumapit sila sa kanya at sinabi, “Mabuhay ang Hari ng mga Judio!” At kanilang pinagsasampal si Jesus.
4 Lumabas muli si Pilato at sinabi sa mga tao, “Ihaharap ko siya sa inyo upang malaman ninyo na wala akong nakikitang dahilan upang hatulan siya!” 5 At lumabas si Jesus na may koronang tinik at balabal na kulay ube. Sinabi sa kanila ni Pilato, “Pagmasdan ninyo ang taong ito!”
6 Pagkakita sa kanya ng mga punong pari at ng mga bantay, sila'y nagsigawan, “Ipako siya sa krus! Ipako sa krus!”
Sinabi ni Pilato, “Kayo ang bahala sa kanya at magpako sa kanya sa krus, dahil wala akong nakikitang dahilan upang hatulan siya.”
7 Sumagot ang mga Judio, “Mayroon kaming batas at ayon dito ay nararapat siyang mamatay, sapagkat sinasabi niyang siya'y Anak ng Diyos.”
8 Nang marinig ni Pilato ang sinabi nila, lalo siyang natakot. 9 Muli siyang pumasok sa palasyo at tinanong si Jesus, “Tagasaan ka ba?” Subalit hindi tumugon si Jesus. 10 Muling nagtanong si Pilato, “Ayaw mong magsalita sa akin? Hindi mo ba alam na may kapangyarihan akong palayain ka o ipapako sa krus?”
11 Sumagot(A) si Jesus, “Hindi ka magkakaroon ng kapangyarihan sa akin kung hindi iyan ibinigay sa iyo mula sa langit, kaya't mas mabigat ang kasalanan ng nagdala sa akin dito sa harapan mo.”
12 Nang marinig ito ni Pilato, naghanap siya ng paraan upang palayain si Jesus. Ngunit nagsigawan ang mga Judio, “Kapag pinalaya mo ang taong iyan, hindi ka kaibigan ng Emperador! Ang sinumang nagsasabing siya'y hari ay kalaban ng Emperador.”
13 Pagkarinig ni Pilato sa mga salitang ito, inilabas niya si Jesus at siya'y umupo sa upuan ng hukom na nasa dakong tinatawag na “Plataporma,” Gabatha sa wikang Hebreo.
14 Araw noon ng Paghahanda sa Paskwa, at mag-aalas-dose na ng tanghali. Sinabi ni Pilato sa mga Judio, “Narito ang inyong hari!”
15 Sumigaw sila, “Patayin siya! Patayin! Ipako sa krus!”
“Ipapako ko ba sa krus ang inyong hari?” tanong naman ni Pilato. Sumagot ang mga punong pari, “Wala kaming hari kundi ang Emperador!”
16 Kaya't ibinigay sa kanila ni Pilato si Jesus upang siya'y ipako sa krus.
Ipinako si Jesus sa Krus(B)
Kinuha nga nila si Jesus. 17 Inilabas siyang pasan ang kanyang krus papunta sa lugar na kung tawagi'y “Dako ng Bungo,” Golgotha sa wikang Hebreo. 18 Doon ay ipinako siya sa krus, kasama ng dalawa pa; isa sa gawing kanan at isa sa kaliwa. 19 Gumawa si Pilato ng isang karatula at inilagay sa krus; ganito ang nakasulat: “Si Jesus na taga-Nazaret, ang Hari ng mga Judio.” 20 Nakasulat ito sa mga wikang Hebreo, Latin, at Griego. Marami sa mga Judio ang nakabasa nito sapagkat malapit lamang sa lungsod ang dakong pinagpakuan kay Jesus. 21 Kaya't sinabi ng mga punong pari kay Pilato, “Huwag ninyong isulat ang, ‘Ang Hari ng mga Judio’, kundi, ‘Sinabi ng taong ito, Ako ang Hari ng mga Judio.’”
22 Ngunit sumagot si Pilato, “Ang naisulat ko'y naisulat ko na.”
23 Nang si Jesus ay maipako na ng mga kawal, kinuha nila ang kanyang kasuotan at pinaghati-hati sa apat na bahagi, isa sa bawat kawal. Kinuha rin nila ang kanyang mahabang panloob na kasuotan; ito'y walang tahi at hinabi nang buo mula sa itaas hanggang sa ibaba. 24 Kaya't(C) nag-usap-usap ang mga kawal, “Huwag nating punitin ito; magpalabunutan tayo para malaman kung kanino ito mapupunta.” Sa gayon, natupad ang isinasaad ng Kasulatan,
“Pinaghati-hatian nila ang aking kasuotan;
at para sa aking damit sila'y nagpalabunutan.”
Ganoon nga ang ginawa ng mga kawal.
25 Nakatayo sa tabi ng krus ni Jesus ang kanyang ina at ang kapatid nitong babae, si Maria na asawa ni Cleopas, at si Maria Magdalena. 26 Nang makita ni Jesus ang kanyang ina at ang minamahal niyang alagad na nasa tabi nito, sinabi niya, “Ginang, narito ang iyong anak!”
27 At sinabi niya sa alagad, “Narito ang iyong ina!” Mula noon, pinatira ng alagad na ito sa kanyang bahay ang ina ni Jesus.
Ang Pagkamatay ni Jesus(D)
28 Alam(E) ni Jesus na naganap na ang lahat ng bagay. Kaya't upang matupad ang kasulatan ay sinabi niya, “Nauuhaw ako!”
29 May isang mangkok doon na puno ng maasim na alak. Inilubog nila rito ang isang espongha, ikinabit iyon sa isang tangkay ng hisopo at inilapit sa kanyang bibig. 30 Pagkatanggap ni Jesus ng alak, sinabi niya, “Naganap na!” Iniyuko niya ang kanyang ulo at nalagot ang kanyang hininga.
Sinaksak ng Sibat ang Tagiliran ni Jesus
31 Noo'y Araw ng Paghahanda, at ayaw ng mga Judio na manatili sa krus ang mga bangkay hanggang sa Araw ng Pamamahinga, dahil natatangi ang Araw na iyon ng Pamamahinga. Kaya't hiniling nila kay Pilato na ipabali ang mga binti ng mga ipinako sa krus at alisin ang mga bangkay. 32 Pumunta nga roon ang mga kawal at binali ang mga binti ng dalawang ipinakong kasama ni Jesus. 33 Ngunit pagdating nila kay Jesus at makitang patay na siya, hindi na nila binali ang kanyang mga binti. 34 Subalit sinaksak ng isang kawal ang tagiliran ni Jesus sa pamamagitan ng sibat at agad lumabas doon ang dugo at tubig. 35 Ang nakakita nito ang nagpatotoo upang kayo rin ay maniwala.[a] Totoo ang kanyang pahayag at alam niyang katotohanan ang sinasabi niya. 36 Nangyari(F) ang lahat ng ito upang matupad ang sinasabi sa kasulatan, “Walang mababali isa man sa kanyang mga buto.” 37 At(G) may bahagi pa rin ng kasulatan na nagsasabi, “Pagmamasdan nila ang kanilang sinaksak ng sibat.”
Ang Paglilibing kay Jesus(H)
38 Pagkatapos nito, si Jose na taga-Arimatea ay nagsadya kay Pilato upang humingi ng pahintulot na makuha ang bangkay ni Jesus. (Dati ay inilihim ni Jose na siya'y isang alagad ni Jesus dahil sa takot niya sa mga pinuno ng mga Judio.) Pinahintulutan naman siya ni Pilato, kaya't kinuha niya ang bangkay ni Jesus. 39 Kasama(I) rin niya si Nicodemo na noong una ay sa gabi nagsadya kay Jesus. May dala itong pabango, mga tatlumpung kilong pinaghalong mira at aloe. 40 Kinuha nila ang bangkay ni Jesus at nilagyan ng pabango at binalot sa telang lino, ayon sa kaugalian ng mga Judio. 41 Malapit sa pinagpakuan kay Jesus ay may isang halamanan, at dito'y may isang bagong libingang hindi pa napaglilibingan. 42 Dahil noon ay bisperas ng Araw ng Pamamahinga, at dahil malapit ang libingang ito, doon nila inilibing si Jesus.
