约翰福音 19
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
19 于是彼拉多命人鞭打耶稣。 2 士兵用荆棘编成冠冕戴在祂头上,又拿紫袍给祂穿上, 3 来到祂面前说:“犹太人的王万岁!”然后又用手掌打祂。
4 彼拉多又走到外面对众人说:“我把祂带到你们面前,好让你们知道我查不出祂有什么罪。” 5 于是,耶稣戴着荆棘冠冕、穿着紫色长袍出来。彼拉多对众人说:“你们看这个人!”
6 祭司长和差役一见耶稣,就喊道:“把祂钉在十字架上!把祂钉在十字架上!”
彼拉多说:“你们自己把祂带去钉十字架吧!因为我查不出祂有什么罪。”
7 犹太人回答说:“我们有律法,按照那律法,祂应当被处死,因为祂自称是上帝的儿子。”
8 彼拉多听了这话,更加害怕, 9 连忙将耶稣带回总督府,问祂:“你到底是从哪里来的?”但耶稣没有回答。
10 彼拉多说:“你不回答我吗?难道你不知道我有权释放你,也有权把你钉在十字架上吗?”
11 耶稣回答说:“除非从上面赐下权柄给你,否则你无权处置我。因此,把我交给你的那人罪更大。”
12 从那时起,彼拉多想要释放耶稣,可是犹太人却一直喊叫:“如果你释放这个人,你就不是凯撒的忠臣[a]。凡自以为王的,就是背叛凯撒。”
13 彼拉多听了这话,就带着耶稣来到一个地方,名叫“铺石地”,那地方希伯来话叫厄巴大。彼拉多在那里开庭审判祂。 14 那天正是逾越节的预备日,大约在中午十二时,彼拉多对犹太人说:“看啊!你们的王。”
15 众人喊道:“除掉祂!除掉祂!把祂钉在十字架上!”
彼拉多说:“我可以把你们的王钉在十字架上吗?”
祭司长答道:“除了凯撒,我们没有别的王!”
16 于是,彼拉多将耶稣交给他们去钉十字架,他们就把耶稣带走了。
钉十字架
17 耶稣背着自己的十字架出来,前往髑髅地[b],那地方希伯来话叫各各他。 18 他们在那里把耶稣钉在十字架上。同时还钉了两个人,一边一个,耶稣在当中。 19 彼拉多写了一个告示,安在十字架上,上面写着“犹太人的王,拿撒勒人耶稣”。 20 因为耶稣被钉十字架的地方离城不远,告示上面的字是用希伯来、罗马、希腊三种文字写的,所以很多犹太人读了上面的字。
21 犹太人的祭司长对彼拉多说:“不要写‘犹太人的王’,应该写‘这人自称是犹太人的王’。”
22 彼拉多说:“我写了就写了。”
23 士兵把耶稣钉在十字架上,又把祂的衣服分成四份,每人一份。剩下的内衣从上到下是一块布,没有缝口。 24 他们就商量说:“不要撕破它,让我们抽签决定给谁吧。”这件事是要应验圣经上的话:“他们分了我的外衣,又为我的内衣抽签。”士兵果然这样做了。
25 耶稣的十字架旁边站着祂母亲、祂母亲的一个姊妹、革罗罢的妻子玛丽亚和抹大拉的玛丽亚。 26 耶稣看见祂的母亲和祂所爱的门徒都站在旁边,就对母亲说:“妇人,看啊,他是你的儿子。” 27 然后对门徒说:“看啊,她是你的母亲。”从那天起,那个门徒就把她接到自己家里去了。
耶稣之死
28 后来,耶稣知道一切的事已经完成,就说:“我渴了。”这是要应验圣经上的话。 29 那里有一个器皿盛满了醋酒。有人用海绵蘸满了醋酒绑在牛膝草上送到祂的嘴里, 30 耶稣尝了那醋酒,然后说:“成了!”就垂下头来,将灵魂交给了上帝。
31 因为那天是预备日,第二天的安息日是个大日子,为了避免在安息日有尸首留在十字架上,犹太人便求彼拉多叫人打断他们的腿,好把他们搬走。 32 于是,士兵上前把与耶稣同钉十字架的两个人的腿都打断了。 33 但是他们来到耶稣那里时,发现祂已经死了,就没有打断祂的腿, 34 只是有一个士兵用矛刺了一下祂的肋旁,顿时有血和水流了出来。 35 看见这事的人为此做见证,他的见证是真实的,他知道自己所说的是事实,好让你们可以相信。 36 这些事的发生是为了应验圣经上的话:“祂的骨头一根也不会折断”; 37 “他们要仰望自己所刺的那位。”
安葬耶稣
38 事后,有一个名叫约瑟的亚利马太人请求彼拉多让他为耶稣收尸。他因为畏惧犹太人,只是暗中做耶稣的门徒。彼拉多批准了,他就把耶稣的遗体领去。 39 曾经夜访耶稣的尼哥德慕也来了,他带来了没药和沉香调成的香料,重约三十四公斤。 40 他们按照犹太人殡葬的习俗,用细麻布加上香料把耶稣的遗体裹好。 41 在耶稣被钉十字架的地方有一个园子,里边有一座新坟墓,从来没有安葬过人。 42 因为那天是犹太人的预备日,这座新坟墓也在附近,他们就把耶稣安放在那里。
Johannes 19
BasisBijbel
Pilatus wil Jezus eigenlijk vrijlaten
19 Toen nam Pilatus Jezus mee en liet Hem zweepslagen geven. 2 En de soldaten vlochten een kroon van doorntakken en zetten die op zijn hoofd. Ook deden ze Hem een paarse mantel om. 3 Ze liepen naar Hem toe en zeiden: "Wij groeten U, koning van de Joden!" En ze sloegen Hem in zijn gezicht.
4 Pilatus kwam weer naar buiten en zei tegen de mensen: "Jullie mogen Hem weer hebben, want volgens mij heeft Hij helemaal geen kwaad gedaan." 5 Toen werd Jezus naar buiten gebracht met de doornenkroon op en de paarse mantel om. Pilatus zei: "Zie die mens eens!" 6 Toen de leiders van de priesters en hun dienaren Hem zagen, begonnen ze te schreeuwen: "Kruisig Hem! Kruisig Hem!" Pilatus zei tegen hen: "Neem Hem dan mee en kruisig Hem zelf. Want ik vind dat Hij onschuldig is." 7 De Joden antwoordden hem: "Volgens onze wetten moet Hij worden gedood, want Hij beweert dat Hij Gods Zoon is."
8 Toen Pilatus dat hoorde, werd hij nog banger. 9 Hij ging het gerechtsgebouw weer binnen en zei tegen Jezus: "Waar kom Je vandaan?" Maar Jezus gaf geen antwoord. 10 Pilatus zei tegen Hem: "Zeg Je niets tegen mij? Weet Je dan niet dat ik de macht heb om Je te laten kruisigen, maar ook de macht heb om Je vrij te laten?" 11 Jezus antwoordde: "U heeft die macht alleen omdat u die van boven heeft gekregen. Daarom heeft de man die Mij heeft verraden, een grotere schuld dan u." 12 Vanaf dat moment probeerde Pilatus Hem vrij te laten. Maar de Joden schreeuwden: "Als u deze Man vrijlaat, bent u geen vriend van de keizer in Rome. Iemand die beweert dat hij koning is, is een vijand van de keizer en moet gedood worden."
13 Toen Pilatus dit hoorde, liet hij Jezus naar buiten brengen. Hij ging op de stoel voor de rechtspraak zitten, op de stenen verhoging die 'Litostrotos' (= ‘stenen hoogte') wordt genoemd (in het Hebreeuws is dat 'Gabbata'). 14 Het was de dag van de voorbereiding op het Paasfeest, ongeveer twaalf uur 's middags. Hij zei tegen de Joden: "Kijk, hier is jullie koning!" 15 Maar ze schreeuwden: "Weg met Hem! Weg met Hem! Kruisig Hem!" Pilatus zei tegen hen: "Moet ik jullie koning dan kruisigen?" De leiders van de priesters antwoordden: "We hebben geen koning! We hebben alleen de keizer!" 16 Toen gaf hij Hem aan de soldaten om Hem te kruisigen. Zij namen Jezus mee.
Jezus aan het kruis
17 Ze gingen naar de plaats die 'Schedelplaats' heet. In het Hebreeuws is dat 'Golgota'. Jezus moest Zelf het kruis dragen. 18 Daar kruisigden ze Hem. Links en rechts van Hem kruisigden ze nog twee andere mannen. Zo hing Jezus in het midden. 19 Pilatus liet een bord maken en op het kruis vastmaken. Daarop stond: 'Jezus van Nazaret, de koning van de Joden.' 20 Veel Joden lazen dit bord, want de plaats waar Jezus werd gekruisigd is vlak bij de stad. Het stond er in het Hebreeuws, het Latijn en het Grieks op. 21 Toen zeiden de leiders van de Joodse priesters tegen Pilatus: "U moet niet schrijven: 'De koning van de Joden,' maar dat Hij gezégd heeft: 'Ik ben de koning van de Joden.' 22 Pilatus antwoordde: "Wat ik heb geschreven, verander ik niet meer."
23 Toen de soldaten Jezus hadden gekruisigd, verdeelden ze zijn kleren. Elk van de vier soldaten kreeg een deel. Zijn onderkleed bleef over. Dat was uit één stuk geweven, zonder naad. 24 Ze zeiden tegen elkaar: "Het is zonde om dit onderkleed in stukken te scheuren. Laten we er om loten wie het hebben mag." Zo deden de soldaten wat er in de Psalmen van tevoren was gezegd: 'Ze hebben mijn kleren verdeeld en verloot.'
25 De moeder van Jezus, haar zus Maria (de vrouw van Klopas) en Maria Magdalena stonden ook bij het kruis. 26 Jezus zag zijn moeder staan. Zijn beste vriend stond naast haar. Toen zei Hij tegen zijn moeder: "Kijk, hij is voortaan je zoon." 27 En tegen de leerling zei Hij: "Kijk, zij is voortaan je moeder." Vanaf dat moment nam die leerling haar bij zich in huis.
Jezus sterft
28 Hierna zei Jezus, omdat Hij wist dat Hij nu alles had gedaan wat Hij moest doen: "Ik heb dorst!" Zo gebeurde wat van tevoren in de Boeken was gezegd. 29 Er stond een kruik met zure wijn. Ze doopten daar een spons in en staken die op een stok. Zo kon Hij van de spons drinken. 30 Toen Jezus van de zure wijn had gedronken, zei Hij: "Alles is gedaan!" En Hij boog zijn hoofd en stierf.
31 De Joden wilden niet dat de mannen op de heilige rustdag aan het kruis zouden blijven hangen. (Het was namelijk een bijzondere heilige rustdag, omdat hij in de week van het Feest van de Ongegiste Broden viel.) Daarom vroegen ze aan Pilatus om de benen van de mannen te laten breken en ze dan van het kruis te laten halen. Want het was nu de dag van de voorbereiding.[a] 32 Toen kwamen de soldaten en braken de benen van de twee mannen die tegelijk met Jezus waren gekruisigd. 33 Maar toen ze bij Jezus kwamen, zagen ze dat Hij al was gestorven. Daarom braken ze zijn benen niet. 34 Maar één van de soldaten stak voor de zekerheid zijn speer in Jezus' zij. Onmiddellijk kwam er water en bloed uit. 35 Ik, Johannes, heb dat zelf gezien. Daarom heb ik het jullie verteld, en ik hoop dat jullie het ook geloven. Want het is echt waar. 36 Dit is gebeurd zodat werkelijkheid zou worden wat in de Boeken van tevoren al is gezegd: 'Geen één van zijn botten zal worden gebroken.' 37 En ergens anders staat in de Boeken: 'Ze zullen kijken naar de Man die ze hebben doorstoken.'
Jezus' begrafenis
38 Jozef, een man uit Arimatea, ging aan Pilatus vragen of hij het lichaam van Jezus mocht begraven. (Hij was ook een leerling van Jezus. Maar hij hield dat geheim, omdat hij bang was voor de Joodse leiders.) Pilatus vond het goed en Jozef nam het lichaam mee. 39 Nikodemus kwam ook. Hij was de man die de eerste keer 's nachts bij Jezus was gekomen.[b] Hij bracht 100 ponden (30 kilo) mirre[c] en aloë mee. 40 Ze dompelden linnen doeken in dat mengsel en wikkelden Jezus' lichaam daarin. Dat is namelijk de Joodse manier van een lichaam voorbereiden op de begrafenis. 41 Dicht bij de plaats waar Hij was gekruisigd, was een tuin. In die tuin was een nieuw graf in de rots uitgehakt. Er was nog nooit iemand in begraven. 42 Daar legden ze Jezus in, want de dag van voorbereiding was bijna voorbij[d] en het graf was dichtbij.

John 19
New Testament for Everyone
Here’s the man!
19 So Pilate then took Jesus and had him flogged. 2 The soldiers wove a crown of thorns, put it on his head, and dressed him up in a purple robe. 3 Then they came up to him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they slapped him.
4 Pilate went out again.
“Look,” he said to them, “I’m bringing him out to you, so that you’ll know I find no guilt in him.”
5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple cloak.
“Look!” said Pilate. “Here’s the man!”
6 So when the chief priests and their attendants saw him, they gave a great shout.
“Crucify him!” they yelled. “Crucify him!”
“Take him yourselves and crucify him!” said Pilate. “I find him not guilty!”
7 “We’ve got a law,” replied the Judaeans, “and according to that law he deserves to die! He made himself the son of God!”
No king but Caesar
8 When Pilate heard that, he was all the more afraid. 9 He went back into the Praetorium and spoke to Jesus.
“Where do you come from?” he asked.
But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 So Pilate addressed him again.
“Aren’t you going to speak to me?” he said. “Don’t you know that I have the authority to let you go, and the authority to crucify you?”
11 “You couldn’t have any authority at all over me,” replied Jesus, “unless it was given to you from above. That’s why the person who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”
12 From that moment on, Pilate tried to let him go.
But the Judaeans shouted at him.
“If you let this fellow go,” they said, “you are no friend of Caesar! Everyone who sets himself up as a king is speaking against Caesar!”
13 So when Pilate heard them saying that, he brought Jesus out and sat down at the official judgment seat, called The Pavement (in Hebrew, “Gabbatha”). 14 It was about midday on the day of Preparation for the Passover.
“Look,” said Pilate, “here is your king!”
15 “Take him away!” they shouted. “Take him away! Crucify him!”
“Do you want me to crucify your king?” asked Pilate.
“We have no king,” the chief priests replied, “except Caesar!”
16 Then he handed him over to them to be crucified.
The King of the Jews
So they took Jesus away. 17 He carried his own cross, and went to the spot called Skull Place (in Hebrew, “Golgotha”). 18 That was where they crucified him. They also crucified two others, one on either side of him, with Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate wrote a notice and had it placed on the cross:
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS
20 Lots of the Judaeans read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was close to the city. It was written in Hebrew, Latin and Greek.
21 So the chief priests said to Pilate, “Don’t write ‘The King of the Jews’! Write that he said, ‘I am the King of the Jews’!”
22 “What I’ve written,” replied Pilate, “I’ve written.”
23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, giving each soldier one part. When they came to his tunic, they found that it was a single piece of cloth, woven from top to bottom.
24 “Let’s not tear it,” they said to each other. “Let’s throw lots for it, to see who’s going to have it.”
This was so that the Bible would be fulfilled, when it says,
They took my clothes and divided them up,
they threw the dice to decide on my garments.
And that’s what the soldiers did.
The death of Jesus
25 Jesus’ mother was standing beside his cross. So was her sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, with Mary Magdalene too. 26 Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple he specially loved, standing there.
“Mother,” he said. “Look! There’s your son.”
27 Then he spoke to the disciple.
“Look!” he said. “There’s your mother.”
From that time, the disciple welcomed her into his own home.
28 After this, Jesus knew that everything had at last been completed.
“I’m thirsty,” he said (fulfilling what the Bible had said).
29 There was a jar there full of sour wine. So they put a sponge filled with the sour wine on a hyssop rod and lifted it to his mouth. 30 Jesus drank it.
“It’s all done!” he said.
Then he let his head drop, and gave up his spirit.
Blood and water
31 It was the day of Preparation. The coming sabbath was a very special one, and the Judaeans were anxious that the bodies should not remain on the cross during the sabbath. So they asked Pilate to have the legs of the crucified men broken, and their bodies taken away.
32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the men who were crucified with Jesus, first the one, then the other. 33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they didn’t break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers thrust a spear into his side, and blood and water came out. 35 (The one who saw it is giving evidence, and his evidence is true. He knows he’s speaking the truth, so that you too may believe.) 36 These things, you see, came about so that the Bible might come true: “No bone of his will be broken.” 37 And, again, another passage in the Bible says, “They shall look on the one whom they pierced.”
The burial of Jesus
38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate if he could take Jesus’ body away. He was a disciple of Jesus, but he kept it secret because he was afraid of the Judaeans. Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took his body. 39 Nicodemus came too (the man who, at first, had visited Jesus by night). He brought a concoction of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds in weight. 40 They took Jesus’ body, and wrapped it up in cloths with the spices, according to the normal Judaean burial custom.
41 There was a garden in the place where he was crucified. In the garden, there was a new tomb in which nobody had ever been buried. 42 So, because the tomb was nearby, and because of the Judaean day of Preparation, they buried Jesus there.
John 19
King James Version
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.
John 19
New International Version
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.
