Jesus Delivered to Be Crucified

19 Then Pilate took Jesus and (A)flogged him. (B)And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe. They came up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands. Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that (C)I find no guilt in him.” So Jesus came out, wearing (D)the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, (E)“Behold the man!” When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, (F)“Take him yourselves and crucify him, for (G)I find no guilt in him.” The Jews[a] answered him, “We have a law, and (H)according to that law he ought to die because (I)he has made himself the Son of God.” When Pilate heard this statement, (J)he was even more afraid. (K)He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, (L)“Where are you from?” But (M)Jesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate said to him, “You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?” 11 Jesus answered him, (N)“You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore (O)he who delivered me over to you (P)has the greater sin.”

12 From then on (Q)Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. (R)Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.” 13 So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on (S)the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic[b] Gabbatha. 14 Now it was (T)the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour.[c] He said to the Jews, (U)“Behold your King!” 15 They cried out, (V)“Away with him, away with him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.” 16 (W)So he (X)delivered him over to them to be crucified.

The Crucifixion

So they took Jesus, 17 and (Y)he went out, (Z)bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. 18 (AA)There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. 19 Pilate (AB)also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” 20 Many of the Jews read this inscription, for (AC)the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, (AD)“What I have written I have written.”

23 (AE)When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic.[d] But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, 24 so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” (AF)This was to fulfill the Scripture which says,

(AG)“They divided my garments among them,
    and for my clothing they cast lots.”

So the soldiers did these things, 25 (AH)but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and (AI)the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, (AJ)“Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to (AK)his own home.

The Death of Jesus

28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now (AL)finished, said ((AM)to fulfill the Scripture), (AN)“I thirst.” 29 A jar full of sour wine stood there, (AO)so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, (AP)“It is finished,” and he bowed his head and (AQ)gave up his spirit.

Jesus' Side Is Pierced

31 Since it was (AR)the day of Preparation, and (AS)so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was (AT)a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other (AU)who had been 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 at once there came out (AV)blood and water. 35 (AW)He who saw it has borne witness—(AX)his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—(AY)that you also may believe. 36 (AZ)For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: (BA)“Not one of his bones (BB)will be broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, (BC)“They will look on him whom they have pierced.”

Jesus Is Buried

38 (BD)After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly (BE)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 away his body. 39 (BF)Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus[e] by night, came (BG)bringing a mixture of (BH)myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds[f] in weight. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and (BI)bound it in (BJ)linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a (BK)garden, and (BL)in the garden a new tomb (BM)in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish (BN)day of Preparation, (BO)since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

19 Entonces, Pilato tomó a Jesús y lo azotó[a](A). (B)Y los soldados tejieron una corona de espinas, la pusieron sobre Su cabeza y lo vistieron con un manto de púrpura; y acercándose a Jesús, le decían: «¡Salve, Rey de los judíos(C)!». Y le daban bofetadas(D). Pilato salió[b] otra vez(E), y les dijo*: «Miren, lo traigo fuera, para que sepan que no encuentro ningún delito en Él(F)».

Y cuando Jesús salió fuera, llevaba la corona de espinas y el manto de púrpura(G). Y Pilato les dijo*: «¡Aquí está el Hombre!». Cuando lo vieron los principales sacerdotes y los guardias(H), gritaron: «¡Crucifícalo! ¡Crucifícalo!». Pilato les dijo*: «Ustedes, pues, lo toman y lo crucifican, porque yo no encuentro ningún delito en Él(I)». Los judíos le respondieron: «Nosotros tenemos una ley, y según esa ley Él debe morir, porque pretendió ser[c] el Hijo de Dios(J)».

Entonces Pilato, cuando oyó estas palabras[d], se atemorizó aún más. Entró de nuevo al Pretorio[e](K) y dijo* a Jesús: «¿De dónde eres Tú?». Pero Jesús no le dio respuesta(L). 10 Pilato entonces le dijo*: «¿A mí no me hablas? ¿No sabes que tengo autoridad para soltarte, y que tengo autoridad para crucificarte?».

11 Jesús respondió: «Ninguna autoridad tendrías sobre Mí[f]si no se te hubiera dado de arriba(M); por eso el que me entregó a ti(N)tiene mayor pecado». 12 Como resultado de esto, Pilato procuraba soltar a Jesús, pero los judíos gritaron: «Si suelta a Este, usted no es amigo de César; todo el que se hace rey se opone a[g] César(O)».

13 Entonces Pilato, cuando oyó estas palabras, sacó fuera a Jesús y se sentó en el tribunal(P), en un lugar llamado el Empedrado, y en hebreo[h](Q) Gabata. 14 Y era el día de la preparación para la Pascua(R); eran como las seis de la mañana[i](S). Y Pilato dijo* a los judíos: «Aquí está su Rey(T)». 15 «¡Fuera! ¡Fuera(U)! ¡Crucifícalo!», gritaron ellos. «¿He de crucificar a su Rey?», les dijo* Pilato. Los principales sacerdotes respondieron: «No tenemos más rey que César». 16 Así que entonces Pilato lo entregó a ellos para que fuera crucificado(V).

Crucifixión y muerte de Jesús

17 (W)Tomaron, pues, a Jesús, y Él salió cargando Su cruz[j](X) al sitio llamado el Lugar de la Calavera(Y), que en hebreo[k](Z) se dice Gólgota, 18 donde lo crucificaron, y con Él(AA) a otros dos, uno a cada lado y Jesús en medio. 19 Pilato también escribió un letrero y lo puso sobre la cruz. Y estaba escrito: «JESÚS EL NAZARENO, EL REY DE LOS JUDÍOS(AB)».

20 Entonces muchos judíos leyeron esta inscripción, porque el lugar donde Jesús fue crucificado quedaba cerca de la ciudad; y estaba escrita en hebreo[l](AC), en latín y en griego. 21 Por eso los principales sacerdotes de los judíos decían a Pilato: «No escribas, “el Rey de los judíos”; sino que Él dijo: “Yo soy Rey de los judíos(AD)”». 22 Pilato respondió: «Lo que he escrito, he escrito(AE)».

23 Entonces los soldados(AF), cuando crucificaron a Jesús, tomaron Sus vestidos e hicieron cuatro partes, una parte para cada soldado(AG). Y tomaron también la túnica[m]; y la túnica era sin costura, tejida en una sola pieza[n]. 24 Por tanto, se dijeron unos a otros: «No la rompamos(AH); sino echemos suertes sobre ella, para ver de quién será»; para que se cumpliera la Escritura(AI): «Repartieron entre sí Mis vestidos, y sobre Mi ropa echaron suertes[o](AJ)».

25 Por eso los soldados hicieron esto. Y junto a la cruz de Jesús estaban Su madre(AK), y la hermana de Su madre, María, la mujer de Cleofas(AL), y María Magdalena(AM). 26 Y[p] cuando Jesús vio a Su madre, y al discípulo a quien Él amaba(AN) que estaba allí cerca, dijo* a Su madre: «¡Mujer(AO), ahí está tu hijo!». 27 Después dijo* al discípulo: «¡Ahí está tu madre!». Y desde aquella hora el discípulo la recibió en su propia casa(AP).

28 Después de esto, sabiendo(AQ) Jesús que todo ya se había consumado, para que se cumpliera la Escritura(AR), dijo*: «Tengo sed(AS)». 29 Había allí una vasija llena de vinagre. (AT)Colocaron, pues, una esponja empapada del vinagre en una rama de hisopo, y se la acercaron a la boca. 30 Entonces Jesús, cuando hubo tomado el vinagre, dijo: «¡Consumado es![q](AU)». E inclinando la cabeza, entregó el espíritu(AV).

31 Los judíos entonces, como era el día de preparación(AW) para la Pascua, a fin de que los cuerpos no se quedaran en la cruz(AX) el día de reposo, porque ese día de reposo era muy solemne[r](AY), pidieron a Pilato que les quebraran las piernas y se los llevaran. 32 Fueron, pues, los soldados y quebraron las piernas del primero, y también las del otro que había sido crucificado con Jesús(AZ). 33 Cuando llegaron a Jesús, como vieron que ya estaba muerto, no le quebraron las piernas; 34 pero uno de los soldados le traspasó el costado con una lanza, y al momento salió sangre y agua(BA).

35 Y el que lo ha visto ha dado testimonio, y su testimonio es verdadero(BB); y él sabe que dice la verdad, para que ustedes también crean. 36 Porque esto sucedió para que se cumpliera la Escritura(BC): «No será quebrado[s] hueso Suyo(BD)». 37 Y también otra Escritura dice: «Mirarán a Aquel que traspasaron(BE)».

Sepultura de Jesús

38 (BF)Después de estas cosas, José de Arimatea, que era discípulo de Jesús, aunque en secreto por miedo a los judíos(BG), pidió permiso a Pilato para llevarse el cuerpo de Jesús(BH). Y Pilato concedió el permiso. Entonces José vino, y se llevó el cuerpo de Jesús. 39 Y Nicodemo(BI), el que antes había venido a Jesús de noche, vino también, trayendo una mezcla[t] de mirra y áloe(BJ) como de treinta y tres kilos(BK). 40 Entonces tomaron el cuerpo de Jesús, y lo envolvieron en telas de lino(BL) con las especias aromáticas, como es costumbre sepultar(BM) entre los judíos.

41 En el lugar donde fue crucificado había un huerto, y en el huerto un sepulcro nuevo(BN), en el cual todavía no habían sepultado a nadie(BO). 42 Por tanto, por causa del día de la preparación(BP) de los judíos, como el sepulcro estaba cerca(BQ), pusieron allí a Jesús.

19 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

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.

Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

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.

The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;

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.
