19 那時,彼拉多吩咐人把耶穌拉去鞭打。 士兵用荊棘編成冠冕,戴在他的頭上,又給他披上紫色的外袍, 然後來到他面前,說:“猶太人的王萬歲!”並且用手掌打他。 彼拉多再次出到外面,對猶太人說:“看!我把他帶出來給你們,讓你們知道我查不出他有甚麼罪。” 於是耶穌出來,戴著荊棘的冠冕,披著紫色的外袍。彼拉多對他們說:“看,這個人!” 祭司長和差役看見耶穌,就喊叫說:“把他釘十字架!把他釘十字架!”彼拉多對他們說:“你們自己把他帶去釘十字架吧!我查不出他有甚麼罪。” 猶太人回答:“我們有律法,根據那律法,他是該死的,因為他自命為 神的兒子。”

彼拉多聽見這話,就更加害怕, 又進了官邸,問耶穌:“你究竟是從哪裡來的?”耶穌卻不回答他。 10 彼拉多對他說:“你不對我說話嗎?你不知道我有權釋放你,也有權把你釘十字架嗎?” 11 耶穌說:“如果不是從天上給你權柄,你就無權辦我;因此,把我交給你的那人,罪更重了。” 12 從那時起,彼拉多想釋放耶穌;可是猶太人卻喊叫說:“如果你釋放這個人,就不是凱撒的忠臣了。凡是自命為王的,就是與凱撒為敵。”

13 彼拉多聽了這些話,就把耶穌帶到外面,到了一個名叫“鋪石地”(希伯來話叫加巴大)的地方,就在那裡開庭審問。 14 那天是逾越節的預備日,約在正午的時候。彼拉多對猶太人說:“看,你們的王!” 15 他們就喊叫起來:“除掉他!除掉他!把他釘十字架!”彼拉多問他們:“我可以把你們的王釘十字架嗎?”祭司長回答:“除了凱撒,我們沒有王!” 16 於是彼拉多把耶穌交給他們去釘十字架。

耶穌被釘十字架(A)

17 他們把耶穌帶去了。耶穌自己背著十字架出來,到了一個名叫“髑髏”的地方,希伯來話叫各各他。 18 他們就在那裡把耶穌釘在十字架上;和他一同釘十字架的,還有兩個人,一邊一個,耶穌在中間。 19 彼拉多寫了一個牌子,放在十字架上頭,寫的是:“猶太人的王拿撒勒人耶穌。” 20 有許多猶太人念了這牌子上所寫的,因為耶穌釘十字架的地方離城不遠,而且那牌子是用希伯來文、拉丁文和希臘文寫的。 21 猶太人的祭司長對彼拉多說:“不要寫‘猶太人的王’,要寫‘這個人自稱:我是猶太人的王’。” 22 彼拉多說:“我所寫的,我已經寫了!”

23 士兵把耶穌釘了十字架之後,就把他的衣服拿來,分成四分,每個兵一分。他們又拿他的內衣;這內衣是沒有縫的,是從上到下整件織成的。 24 因此,他們彼此說:“我們不要把它撕開,我們來抽籤吧,看看是誰的。”這就應驗了經上所說的:

“他們分了我的外衣,

又為我的內衣抽籤。”

士兵果然這樣作了。 25 站在耶穌十字架旁邊的,有他母親和他母親的姊妹,還有高羅巴的妻子馬利亞,和抹大拉的馬利亞。 26 耶穌看見母親,又看見他所愛的那門徒站在旁邊,就對母親說:“母親(“母親”原文作“婦人”),看!你的兒子。” 27 然後他對那門徒說:“看!你的母親。”從那時起,那門徒就把她接到自己的家裡去了。

耶穌死時的情形(B)

28 這事以後,耶穌知道一切都已經成就了,為了要使經上的話應驗,就說:“我渴了。” 29 在那裡有一個罈子,盛滿了酸酒,他們就拿海綿浸了酸酒,綁在牛膝草上,送到他的口裡。 30 耶穌嘗了那酸酒,說:“成了!”就低下頭,斷了氣。

31 因為那天是預備日,為了要避免屍體在安息日留在十字架上(因為那安息日是個重要的日子),猶太人就請求彼拉多打斷那些被釘十字架的人的腿,把他們拿下來。 32 於是士兵來了,把和耶穌一同釘十字架的那兩個人的腿都先後打斷了。 33 他們來到耶穌那裡,看見他已經死了,就沒有打斷他的腿。 34 但是有一個士兵用槍刺他的肋旁,立刻有血和水流出來。 35 那看見這事的人已經作證了,他的見證是真實的,他也知道自己所說的是實在的,使你們也相信。 36 這些事的發生,是要應驗經上所說的:“他的骨頭,一根也不可折斷。” 37 另有一處經文說:“他們要仰望自己所刺的人。”

耶穌葬在新墳墓裡(C)

38 這些事以後,有一個亞利馬太人約瑟來求彼拉多,要領耶穌的身體;他因為怕猶太人,就暗暗地作耶穌的門徒。彼拉多批准了,他便把耶穌的身體領去。 39 從前夜間來見耶穌的尼哥德慕也來了,帶著沒藥和沉香混合的香料,約有三十二公斤。 40 他們領取了耶穌的身體,照著猶太人的葬禮的規例,用細麻布和香料把他裹好。 41 在耶穌釘十字架的地方,有一個園子,園裡有一個新的墓穴,是從來沒有葬過人的。 42 因為那天是猶太人的預備日,又因為那墓穴就在附近,他們就把耶穌葬在那裡。

19 于是,彼拉多命人把耶稣带走,鞭打他。 士兵们用荆棘编了一顶皇冠,戴在耶稣头上,他们又给他穿上了紫袍, 还在耶稣面前摇来晃去,说∶“我们向您敬礼,犹太王!”他们还不停地打他耳光。

彼拉多又出来说道∶“听着,我把他带到你们这儿来,为的是让你们知道,我没有发现他有罪。” 然后,耶稣带着荆冠,穿着紫袍出来了,彼拉多说∶“他在这里。”

一见到耶稣,祭司长和法利赛人便喊道∶“钉死他,钉死他!”

彼拉多说∶“你们自己去把他带走,钉死在十字架上吧!我是找不出他有什么罪。”

犹太人回答说∶“根据我们的律法,他该死,因为他宣称自己是上帝之子!”

彼拉多听了这话,更害怕了, 他回府里问耶稣∶“你从哪里来?”耶稣没做回答, 10 彼拉多对他说∶“你不肯跟我说话吗?你难道不知道我有权让你自由,我也有权把你钉死在十字架上吗?”

11 耶稣说∶“除非上帝赋予你权力,否则你无权管辖我,所以,把我交给你的人,比你的罪更大。”

12 听了这话,彼拉多很想放了耶稣,可犹太人叫嚷道∶“你要是放了他,你就不是凯撒的朋友。凡是自诩为王的人,就是反对凯撒!”

13 听了这话,彼拉多把耶稣带了出来,坐在“铺华石处”(希伯来语为“厄巴大”)的法官席上。 14 那天是逾越节周的预备日。大约中午时分,彼拉多对犹太人说∶“这是你们的王!”

犹太人喊道: 15 “带走他!带走他!把他钉死在十字架上!”

彼拉多问∶“你们让我把你们的王钉死在十字架上吗?”

祭司长说∶“除了凯撒,我们没有别的王!”

16 于是,彼拉多把耶稣交给士兵去把他钉死在十字架上。

耶稣被钉在十字架上

17 耶稣背着自己的十字架,到了一个叫“骷髅” [a]的地方。 18 他们把耶稣钉上十字架,还把另外两个人钉在耶稣的左右,一边一个,耶稣被钉在中间。 19 彼拉多写了一个牌子,让人放在耶稣的十字架上,上面写着∶“耶稣,拿撒勒人,犹太人之王。” 20 很多犹太人读到了这个告示,因为耶稣被钉的地方,在此城附近,告示是用希伯来语 [b]、拉丁语和希腊语写的。祭司长对彼拉多说∶ 21 “不要写‘犹太王’,而应该写∶‘此人说:我是犹太王。’”

22 彼拉多说∶“我写什么就是什么。”

23 然后,士兵们把耶稣钉在了十字架上。士兵们拿了他的衣服,把它们分成了四份,每人一份。他们还拿了他的内衣,内衣是从头到脚用整幅布做成,没有一条缝。 24 于是,他们商量说∶“咱们不要撕破它,让咱们抓阄吧,看谁能得到它。”这也应验了《经》上的话:

“他们分了我的衣服,
还为我的内衣抓阄。”
这正是这些士兵所做的事情。

25 耶稣的母亲、姨妈、革罗罢的妻子马利亚和马利亚抹大拉站在他的十字架旁边。 26 当耶稣看到母亲和他所钟爱的那个门徒站在旁边时,就对母亲说∶“亲爱的妈妈,这是您的儿子。” 27 他又对他的门徒说∶“这是你母亲。”从那以后,那个门徒就让耶稣的母亲住在他家里了。

耶稣之死

28 这之后,耶稣知道一切都完成了,所以《经》上所说的话可以实现了。耶稣说道∶“我渴了。” 29 旁边正好有一壶酸酒,他们拿了一块海绵蘸满酒,绑在牛膝草上,送到他嘴边。 30 耶稣尝完酒后,说道∶“一切都结束了。”然后,他垂下头,死去了。

31 因为那天是星期五(预备日),所以,尸体不能在安息日里挂在十字架上,(因为安息日是很特别的日子)。犹太人请求彼拉多下令,打断他们的腿,好把尸体移走。 32 于是士兵来了,打断了第一个人的腿,又打断和他一起钉死在十字架上的另一个人的腿。 33 可是,当他们走近耶稣时,看到他已经死了,所以,就没有打断他的腿。

34 但是,一个士兵却用枪矛刺进了耶稣的肋旁,血水立刻涌了出来。 35 (看到这一切的人作了证,他的证词是真实的。他知道自己说的是真话,以便让人们相信他。) 36 这一切的发生,都是为了应验《经》上的话∶“他的骨头一根都不会断。 [c] 37 《经》上还记载道∶“他们观看那位被刺的人。”

安葬耶稣

38 这之后,亚利马太人约瑟,请求彼拉多允许他移走耶稣的尸体。约瑟是耶稣的门徒之一,因为害怕犹太首领,没有公开。彼拉多同意了,约瑟便去移走了耶稣的尸体。 39 曾在夜里去见耶稣的尼哥底母,带着三十四公斤左右的没药和沉香的混合物也来了。 40 他们抬走尸体,用亚麻布和香料按犹太人的葬礼习俗裹好耶稣。 41 耶稣被钉死的地方有个园子,里面有个新墓,从未埋过任何人。 42 因为星期五是犹太人预备日,墓地又近,他们就把他放在那里了。

19 於是彼拉多命人鞭打耶穌。 士兵用荊棘編成冠冕戴在祂頭上,又拿紫袍給祂穿上, 來到祂面前說:「猶太人的王萬歲!」然後又用手掌打祂。

彼拉多又走到外面對眾人說:「我把祂帶到你們面前,好讓你們知道我查不出祂有什麼罪。」 於是,耶穌戴著荊棘冠冕、穿著紫色長袍出來。彼拉多對眾人說:「你們看這個人!」

祭司長和差役一見耶穌,就喊道:「把祂釘在十字架上!把祂釘在十字架上!」

彼拉多說:「你們自己把祂帶去釘十字架吧!因為我查不出祂有什麼罪。」

猶太人回答說:「我們有律法,按照那律法,祂應當被處死,因為祂自稱是上帝的兒子。」

彼拉多聽了這話,更加害怕, 連忙將耶穌帶回總督府,問祂:「你到底是從哪裡來的?」但耶穌沒有回答。

10 彼拉多說:「你不回答我嗎?難道你不知道我有權釋放你,也有權把你釘在十字架上嗎?」

11 耶穌回答說:「除非從上面賜下權柄給你,否則你無權處置我。因此,把我交給你的那人罪更大。」

12 從那時起,彼拉多想要釋放耶穌,可是猶太人卻一直喊叫:「如果你釋放這個人,你就不是凱撒的忠臣[a]。凡自以為王的,就是背叛凱撒。」

13 彼拉多聽了這話,就帶著耶穌來到一個地方,名叫「鋪石地」,那地方希伯來話叫厄巴大。彼拉多在那裡開庭審判祂。 14 那天正是逾越節的預備日,大約在中午十二時,彼拉多對猶太人說:「看啊!你們的王。」

15 眾人喊道:「除掉祂!除掉祂!把祂釘在十字架上!」

彼拉多說:「我可以把你們的王釘在十字架上嗎?」

祭司長答道:「除了凱撒,我們沒有別的王!」

16 於是,彼拉多將耶穌交給他們去釘十字架,他們就把耶穌帶走了。

釘十字架

17 耶穌背著自己的十字架出來,前往髑髏地[b],那地方希伯來話叫各各他。 18 他們在那裡把耶穌釘在十字架上。同時還釘了兩個人,一邊一個,耶穌在當中。 19 彼拉多寫了一個告示,安在十字架上,上面寫著「猶太人的王,拿撒勒人耶穌」。 20 因為耶穌被釘十字架的地方離城不遠,告示上面的字是用希伯來、羅馬、希臘三種文字寫的,所以很多猶太人讀了上面的字。

21 猶太人的祭司長對彼拉多說:「不要寫『猶太人的王』,應該寫『這人自稱是猶太人的王』。」

22 彼拉多說:「我寫了就寫了。」

23 士兵把耶穌釘在十字架上,又把祂的衣服分成四份,每人一份。剩下的內衣從上到下是一塊布,沒有縫口, 24 他們就商量說:「不要撕破它,讓我們抽籤決定給誰吧。」這件事是要應驗聖經上的話:「他們分了我的外衣,又為我的內衣抽籤。」士兵果然這樣做了。

25 耶穌的十字架旁邊站著祂母親、祂母親的一個姊妹、革羅罷的妻子瑪麗亞和抹大拉的瑪麗亞。 26 耶穌看見祂的母親和祂所愛的門徒都站在旁邊,就對母親說:「婦人,看啊,他是你的兒子。」 27 然後對門徒說:「看啊,她是你的母親。」從那天起,那個門徒就把她接到自己家裡去了。

耶穌之死

28 後來,耶穌知道一切的事已經完成,就說:「我渴了。」這是要應驗聖經上的話。 29 那裡有一個器皿盛滿了醋酒。有人用海綿蘸滿了醋酒綁在牛膝草上送到祂的嘴裡, 30 耶穌嚐了那醋酒,然後說:「成了!」就垂下頭來,將靈魂交給了上帝。

31 因為那天是預備日,第二天的安息日是個大日子,為了避免在安息日有屍首留在十字架上,猶太人便求彼拉多叫人打斷他們的腿,好把他們搬走。 32 於是,士兵上前把與耶穌同釘十字架的兩個人的腿都打斷了。 33 但是他們來到耶穌那裡時,發現祂已經死了,就沒有打斷祂的腿, 34 只是有一個士兵用矛刺了一下祂的肋旁,頓時有血和水流了出來。 35 看見這事的人為此做見證,他的見證是真實的,他知道自己所說的是事實,好讓你們可以相信。 36 這些事的發生是為了應驗聖經上的話:「祂的骨頭一根也不會折斷」; 37 「他們要仰望自己所刺的那位。」

安葬耶穌

38 事後,有一個名叫約瑟的亞利馬太人請求彼拉多讓他為耶穌收屍。他因為畏懼猶太人,只是暗中做耶穌的門徒。彼拉多批准了,他就把耶穌的遺體領去。 39 曾經夜訪耶穌的尼哥德慕也來了,他帶來了沒藥和沉香調成的香料,重約三十四公斤。 40 他們按照猶太人殯葬的習俗,用細麻布加上香料把耶穌的遺體裹好。 41 在耶穌被釘十字架的地方有一個園子,裡邊有一座新墳墓,從來沒有安葬過人。 42 因為那天是猶太人的預備日,這座新墳墓也在附近,他們就把耶穌安放在那裡。

Jesus Sentenced to Be Crucified(A)

19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.(B) The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(C) And they slapped him in the face.(D)

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) When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe,(G) Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

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)

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)

When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 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,

“They divided my clothes among them
    and cast lots for my garment.”[a](AG)

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.

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.
