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.

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 Kaya ipinakuha ni Pilato si Jesus at ipinahagupit. Gumawa ang mga sundalo ng koronang tinik at ipinutong kay Jesus, at sinuotan nila siya ng kulay ubeng kapa. At isa-isa silang lumapit sa kanya at nagsabi, “Mabuhay ang Hari ng mga Judio!” at pinagsasampal siya. Muling lumabas si Pilato at sinabi sa mga tao, “Makinig kayo! Ihaharap ko siyang muli sa inyo. Gusto kong malaman nʼyo na wala akong nakitang kasalanan sa kanya!” Nang lumabas si Jesus, suot ang koronang tinik at ang kulay ubeng kapa, sinabi ni Pilato, “Tingnan nʼyo siya!” Nang makita si Jesus ng mga namamahalang pari at ng mga guwardya, sumigaw sila, “Ipako siya sa krus! Ipako siya sa krus!” Pero sumagot si Pilato, “Kayo ang kumuha sa kanya at magpako sa krus, dahil kung sa akin lang ay wala akong makitang kasalanan sa kanya.” Pero nagpumilit ang mga Judio, “May Kautusan kami. At ayon dito, dapat siyang mamatay dahil sinasabi niyang Anak siya ng Dios.”

Nang marinig ito ni Pilato, lalo pa siyang natakot. Kaya muli niyang dinala si Jesus sa loob ng palasyo at tinanong, “Taga-saan ka ba?” Pero hindi sumagot si Jesus. 10 Kaya sinabi ni Pilato, “Bakit ayaw mo akong sagutin? Hindi mo ba alam na may kapangyarihan akong palayain ka o ipapako sa krus?” 11 Sumagot si Jesus, “Wala kang maaaring gawin sa akin kung hindi ka binigyan ng Dios ng kapangyarihan. Kaya mas malaki ang kasalanan ng taong nagdala sa akin dito sa iyo.” 12 Nang marinig ito ni Pilato, muli niyang sinikap na mapalaya si Jesus. Pero nagsigawan ang mga Judio, “Kapag pinalaya mo ang taong iyan, hindi ka kaibigan ng Emperador! Sapagkat ang sinumang nagsasabing hari siya ay kaaway ng Emperador.” 13 Nang marinig ito ni Pilato, inilabas niya si Jesus sa palasyo. Pagkatapos, umupo siya sa upuan ng tagahatol, sa lugar na kung tawagin ay “Batong Plataporma”, (na sa wikang Hebreo ay “Gabbata”).

14 Bandang tanghali na noon ng bisperas ng Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel. Sinabi ni Pilato sa mga Judio, “Narito ang hari nʼyo!” 15 Pero nagsigawan ang mga Judio, “Patayin siya! Patayin siya! Ipako siya sa krus!” Sinabi ni Pilato sa kanila, “Ipapako ko ba sa krus ang hari nʼyo?” Sumagot ang mga namamahalang pari, “Wala kaming ibang hari kundi ang Emperador!” 16 Kaya ibinigay ni Pilato sa kanila si Jesus upang ipako sa krus.

Ipinako sa Krus si Jesus(A)

Dinala si Jesus ng mga sundalo 17 palabas ng lungsod. Ipinapasan nila kay Jesus ang kanyang krus papunta sa lugar na tinatawag na “Lugar ng Bungo” (na sa wikang Hebreo ay Golgota). 18 Doon nila ipinako sa krus si Jesus, kasama ng dalawa pa. Sa kanan ang isa at ang isa namaʼy sa kaliwa, at nasa gitna nila si Jesus. 19 Pinalagyan ni Pilato ng karatula ang krus ni Jesus, at ganito ang nakasulat: “Si Jesus na taga-Nazaret, ang Hari ng mga Judio.” 20 Nakasulat ito sa mga wikang Hebreo, Latin, at Griego. Maraming Judio ang nakabasa nito, dahil malapit lang sa lungsod ang lugar kung saan ipinako sa krus si Jesus. 21 Nagreklamo ang mga namamahalang pari kay Pilato, “Hindi dapat ‘Hari ng mga Judio’ ang isinulat nʼyo kundi, ‘Sinabi ng taong ito na siya raw ang hari ng mga Judio.’ ” 22 Pero sinagot sila ni Pilato, “Kung ano ang isinulat ko, iyon na.”

23 Nang maipako na ng mga sundalo si Jesus, kinuha nila ang kanyang damit at hinati-hati sa apat, tig-isang bahagi ang bawat sundalo. Kinuha rin nila ang damit-panloob niya; hinabi ito nang buo at walang tahi o dugtong. 24 Sinabi ng isang sundalo, “Huwag na natin itong paghatian. Magpalabunutan na lang tayo kung kanino ito mapupunta.” Nangyari ito upang matupad ang sinabi sa Kasulatan,

    “Pinaghati-hatian nila ang aking damit,
    at nagpalabunutan sila para sa aking damit-panloob.”[a]

At ito nga ang ginawa ng mga sundalo.

25 Nakatayo malapit sa krus ni Jesus ang kanyang ina, ang kapatid ng kanyang ina, si Maria na asawa ni Clopas, at si Maria na taga-Magdala.[b] 26 Nang makita ni Jesus ang kanyang ina na nakatayo roon katabi ng minamahal niyang tagasunod, sinabi niya, “Babae, ituring mo siyang anak.” 27 At sinabi naman niya sa tagasunod niya, “Ituring mo siyang ina.” Mula noon, tumira na ang ina ni Jesus sa tahanan ng tagasunod na ito.

Ang Pagkamatay ni Jesus(B)

28 Alam ni Jesus na tapos na ang misyon niya, at para matupad ang nakasulat sa Kasulatan, sinabi niya, “Nauuhaw ako.” 29 May isang banga roon na puno ng maasim na alak. Isinawsaw ng mga sundalo ang isang espongha sa alak, ikinabit sa sanga ng isopo at inilapit sa bibig ni Jesus. 30 Nang masipsip na ni Jesus ang alak, sinabi niya, “Tapos na!” Iniyuko niya ang kanyang ulo at nalagot ang kanyang hininga.

Sinibat ang Tagiliran ni Jesus

31 Bisperas na noon ng pista, at kinabukasan ay espesyal na Araw ng Pamamahinga. Dahil ayaw ng mga Judio na maiwan sa krus ang mga bangkay sa Araw ng Pamamahinga, hiniling nila kay Pilato na baliin ang mga binti ng mga nakapako upang madali silang mamatay, at nang maalis agad ang mga bangkay. 32 Kaya ito nga ang ginawa ng mga sundalo. Binali nila ang mga binti ng dalawang kasama ni Jesus na ipinako. 33 Pero pagdating nila kay Jesus, nakita nilang patay na siya, kaya hindi na nila binali ang mga binti niya. 34 Sa halip, sinaksak ng sibat ng isa sa kanila ang tagiliran ni Jesus at biglang dumaloy ang dugo at tubig. 35 Nakita ko mismo ang mga pangyayari, at isinasalaysay ko ito sa inyo. Totoong nangyari ito, kaya alam kong totoo ang mga sinasabi ko. Isinasalaysay ko ito upang sumampalataya rin kayo.[c] 36 Nangyari ang mga bagay na ito upang matupad ang sinasabi sa Kasulatan: “Walang mababali ni isa man sa kanyang mga buto.”[d] 37 Sinasabi rin sa isa pang bahagi ng Kasulatan, “Pagmamasdan nila ang taong sinaksak nila.”[e]

Ang Paglilibing kay Jesus(C)

38 Pagkatapos nito, hiningi ni Jose na taga-Arimatea ang bangkay ni Jesus kay Pilato. (Si Jose ay isang tagasunod ni Jesus, ngunit palihim lang dahil natatakot siya sa mga pinuno ng mga Judio.) Pinayagan siya ni Pilato, kaya pinuntahan niya ang bangkay ni Jesus para kunin ito. 39 Sinamahan siya ni Nicodemus, ang lalaking bumisita noon kay Jesus isang gabi. Nagdala si Nicodemus ng mga 35 kilo ng pabango na gawa sa pinaghalong mira at aloe. 40 Kinuha nila ang bangkay ni Jesus at nilagyan ng dala nilang pabango habang ibinabalot ng telang linen, ayon sa nakaugalian ng mga Judio sa paglilibing. 41 Sa lugar kung saan ipinako si Jesus ay may halamanan. At doon ay may isang bagong libingan na hinukay sa gilid ng burol, na hindi pa napapaglibingan. 42 Dahil bisperas na noon ng pista, at dahil malapit lang ang libingang iyon, doon na nila inilibing si Jesus.
