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.

La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Jesús condenado a muerte (Mt 27,30-31; Mc 15,12-20; Lc 23,20-25)
19 Así pues, Pilato se hizo cargo del asunto y mandó que azotaran a Jesús. 2 Los soldados trenzaron una corona de espinas y se la pusieron en la cabeza. Le echaron también sobre los hombros un manto de púrpura 3 y, acercándose a él, decían:
— ¡Viva el rey de los judíos!
Y le daban bofetadas. 4 Salió de nuevo Pilato y les dijo:
— Miren, se lo voy a presentar a ustedes para dejar claro que no encuentro delito alguno en él.
5 Salió, pues, Jesús llevando la corona de espinas y el manto de púrpura. Pilato les dijo:
— ¡Este es el hombre!
6 Al ver a Jesús, los jefes de los sacerdotes y sus esbirros comenzaron a gritar:
— ¡Crucifícalo! ¡Crucifícalo!
Pilato insistió:
— Tómenlo ustedes y crucifíquenlo; yo no encuentro delito alguno en él.
7 Los judíos replicaron:
— Nosotros tenemos una ley, y según ella debe morir, porque ha querido hacerse pasar por Hijo de Dios.
8 Al oír esto, Pilato sintió aún más temor. 9 Entró de nuevo en el palacio y preguntó a Jesús:
— ¿De dónde eres tú?
Jesús ni siquiera le contestó. 10 Pilato le dijo:
— ¿Cómo? ¿Te niegas a contestarme? ¿Es que no sabes que tengo autoridad tanto para dejarte en libertad como para hacerte crucificar?
11 Jesús le respondió:
— No tendrías autoridad alguna sobre mí si Dios no te la hubiera concedido; por eso, el que me ha entregado a ti es mucho más culpable que tú.
12 Desde ese momento, Pilato intentaba por todos los medios poner a Jesús en libertad. Pero los judíos le gritaban:
— Si lo pones en libertad, no eres amigo del emperador. El que pretende ser rey se enfrenta al emperador.
13 Al oír esto, Pilato mandó sacar fuera a Jesús y se sentó en el tribunal, en el lugar conocido con el nombre de “Enlosado”, que en la lengua de los judíos se llama “Gábata”. 14 Era el día de preparación de la Pascua, hacia el mediodía. Pilato dijo a los judíos:
— ¡Aquí tienen a su rey!
15 Pero ellos comenzaron a gritar:
— ¡Quítalo de en medio! ¡Crucifícalo!
Pilato insistió:
— ¿Cómo voy a crucificar a su rey?
Pero los jefes de los sacerdotes replicaron:
— Nuestro único rey es el emperador romano.
16 Así que, al fin, Pilato se lo entregó para que lo crucificaran.
Crucifixión de Jesús (Mt 27,32-44; Mc 15,21-32; Lc 23,26-43)
Tomaron, pues, a Jesús 17 que, cargando con su propia cruz, se encaminó hacia el llamado “lugar de la Calavera” (que en la lengua de los judíos se conoce como “Gólgota”). 18 Allí lo crucificaron, y con él crucificaron también a otros dos, uno a cada lado y Jesús en medio.
19 Pilato mandó poner sobre la cruz un letrero con esta inscripción: “Jesús de Nazaret, el rey de los judíos.” 20 La inscripción fue leída por muchos judíos, porque el lugar donde Jesús había sido crucificado estaba cerca de la ciudad. Además, el texto estaba escrito en hebreo, latín y griego. 21 Así que los jefes de los sacerdotes se presentaron a Pilato y le dijeron:
— No pongas: “El rey de los judíos” sino: “Este hombre dijo: Yo soy el rey de los judíos”.
22 Pero Pilato les contestó:
— Que quede escrito lo que yo mandé escribir.
23 Los soldados, una vez que terminaron de crucificar a Jesús, tomaron sus ropas e hicieron con ellas cuatro lotes, uno para cada soldado. Se quedaron también con la túnica, pero como era una túnica sin costuras, tejida de una sola pieza de arriba a abajo, 24 llegaron a este acuerdo:
— No debemos partirla; lo que procede es sortearla para ver a quién le toca.
Así se cumplió el pasaje de la Escritura que dice: Dividieron entre ellos mis ropas y echaron a suertes mi túnica.
Esto fue lo que hicieron los soldados.
La madre de Jesús y el discípulo amado
25 Junto a la cruz de Jesús estaban su madre, María la mujer de Cleofás, que era hermana de su madre, y María Magdalena. 26 Jesús, al ver a su madre y, junto a ella, al discípulo a quien tanto quería, dijo a su madre:
— Mujer, ahí tienes a tu hijo.
27 Después dijo al discípulo:
— Ahí tienes a tu madre.
Y desde aquel momento, el discípulo la acogió en su casa.
Muerte de Jesús (Mt 27,48-50; Mc 15, 36-37; Lc 23,46)
28 Después de esto, plenamente consciente de que todo había llegado a su fin, para que se cumpliese la Escritura, Jesús exclamó:
— Tengo sed.
29 Empaparon una esponja en vinagre, la colocaron en la punta de una caña de hisopo y se la acercaron a la boca. 30 Jesús probó el vinagre y dijo:
— Todo está cumplido.
Inclinó, entonces, la cabeza y expiró.
La lanzada en el costado
31 Era el día de preparación y los judíos no querían que los cuerpos de los ajusticiados quedaran en la cruz aquel sábado, porque en él se celebraba una fiesta muy solemne. Por eso, pidieron a Pilato que ordenase quebrar las piernas de los crucificados y retirarlos de allí. 32 Fueron los soldados y quebraron las piernas de los dos que habían sido crucificados con Jesús. 33 Pero cuando se acercaron a Jesús, al comprobar que ya había muerto, no le quebraron las piernas, 34 sino que uno de los soldados le abrió el costado de una lanzada, y al punto brotó de él sangre y agua. 35 El que lo vio da testimonio de ello y su testimonio es verdadero y está seguro de que habla con verdad para que también ustedes crean. 36 Porque todo esto ocurrió para que se cumpliese la Escritura que dice: No le quebrarán ningún hueso. 37 Y también la otra Escritura que dice: Mirarán al que traspasaron.
Sepultura de Jesús (Mt 27,57-61; Mc 15,42-47; Lc 23,50-56)
38 Después de esto, José de Arimatea, que era discípulo de Jesús, aunque lo mantenía en secreto por miedo a los judíos, solicitó de Pilato el permiso para hacerse cargo del cuerpo de Jesús. Pilato se lo concedió, y él se hizo cargo del cuerpo. 39 También vino Nicodemo, el que con anterioridad había ido de noche a entrevistarse con Jesús, trayendo unas cien libras de una mezcla de mirra y áloe. 40 Entre ambos se llevaron el cuerpo de Jesús y lo envolvieron con vendas de lino bien empapadas en los aromas, según acostumbraban hacer los judíos para sepultar a sus muertos.
41 Cerca del lugar donde Jesús fue crucificado había un huerto, y en el huerto, un sepulcro nuevo en el que nadie había sido sepultado. 42 Y como el sepulcro estaba cerca y era para los judíos el día de preparación, depositaron allí el cuerpo de Jesús.
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.

English Standard Version
Jesus Delivered to Be Crucified
19 Then Pilate took Jesus and (A)flogged him. 2 (B)And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe. 3 They came up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands. 4 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.” 5 So Jesus came out, wearing (D)the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, (E)“Behold the man!” 6 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.” 7 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.” 8 When Pilate heard this statement, (J)he was even more afraid. 9 (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.
