John 19
Common English Bible
Jesus is whipped and mocked as king
19 Then Pilate had Jesus taken and whipped. 2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple robe. 3 Over and over they went up to him and said, “Greetings, king of the Jews!” And they slapped him in the face.
4 Pilate came out of the palace again and said to the Jewish leaders, “Look! I’m bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no grounds for a charge against him.” 5 When Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here’s the man.”
6 When the chief priests and their deputies saw him, they shouted out, “Crucify, crucify!”
Pilate told them, “You take him and crucify him. I don’t find any grounds for a charge against him.”
7 The Jewish leaders replied, “We have a Law, and according to this Law he ought to die because he made himself out to be God’s Son.”
Pilate questions Jesus again
8 When Pilate heard this word, he was even more afraid. 9 He went back into the residence and spoke to Jesus, “Where are you from?” Jesus didn’t answer. 10 So Pilate said, “You won’t speak to me? Don’t you know that I have authority to release you and also to crucify you?”
11 Jesus replied, “You would have no authority over me if it had not been given to you from above. That’s why the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin.” 12 From that moment on, Pilate wanted to release Jesus.
However, the Jewish leaders cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t a friend of the emperor! Anyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes the emperor!”
13 When Pilate heard these words, he led Jesus out and seated him on the judge’s bench at the place called Stone Pavement (in Aramaic, Gabbatha). 14 It was about noon on the Preparation Day for the Passover. Pilate said to the Jewish leaders, “Here’s your king.”
15 The Jewish leaders cried out, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”
Pilate responded, “What? Do you want me to crucify your king?”
“We have no king except the emperor,” the chief priests answered. 16 Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified.
Crucifixion
The soldiers took Jesus prisoner. 17 Carrying his cross by himself, he went out to a place called Skull Place (in Aramaic, Golgotha). 18 That’s where they crucified him—and two others with him, one on each side and Jesus in the middle. 19 Pilate had a public notice written and posted on the cross. It read “Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews.” 20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city and it was written in Aramaic, Latin, and Greek. 21 Therefore, the Jewish chief priests complained to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The king of the Jews’ but ‘This man said, “I am the king of the Jews.”’”
22 Pilate answered, “What I’ve written, I’ve written.”
23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and his sandals, and divided them into four shares, one for each soldier. His shirt was seamless, woven as one piece from the top to the bottom. 24 They said to each other, “Let’s not tear it. Let’s cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the scripture,
They divided my clothes among themselves,
and they cast lots for my clothing.[a]
That’s what the soldiers did.
25 Jesus’ mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene stood near the cross. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, here is your son.” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
28 After this, knowing that everything was already completed, in order to fulfill the scripture, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar full of sour wine was nearby, so the soldiers soaked a sponge in it, placed it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. 30 When he had received the sour wine, Jesus said, “It is completed.” Bowing his head, he gave up his life.
Witness at the cross
31 It was the Preparation Day and the Jewish leaders didn’t want the bodies to remain on the cross on the Sabbath, especially since that Sabbath was an important day. So they asked Pilate to have the legs of those crucified broken and the bodies taken down. 32 Therefore, the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men who were crucified with Jesus. 33 When they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead so they didn’t break his legs. 34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35 The one who saw this has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he speaks the truth, and he has testified so that you also can believe. 36 These things happened to fulfill the scripture, They won’t break any of his bones.[b] 37 And another scripture says, They will look at him whom they have pierced.[c]
Jesus’ body is buried
38 After this Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate if he could take away the body of Jesus. Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one because he feared the Jewish authorities. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and took the body away. 39 Nicodemus, the one who at first had come to Jesus at night, was there too. He brought a mixture of myrrh and aloe, nearly seventy-five pounds in all.[d] 40 Following Jewish burial customs, they took Jesus’ body and wrapped it, with the spices, in linen cloths. 41 There was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden was a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish Preparation Day and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus in it.

Nova Versão Transformadora
19 Então Pilatos mandou açoitar Jesus. 2 Os soldados fizeram uma coroa de espinhos e a colocaram em sua cabeça, e depois puseram nele um manto vermelho. 3 Zombavam dele, dizendo: “Salve, rei dos judeus!”, e batiam em seu rosto.
4 Pilatos saiu outra vez e disse ao povo: “Agora vou trazê-lo aqui para vocês, mas que fique bem claro: eu o considero inocente”. 5 Então Jesus saiu com a coroa de espinhos e o manto vermelho. “Vejam, aqui está o homem!”, disse Pilatos.
6 Quando os principais sacerdotes e os guardas do templo o viram, começaram a gritar: “Crucifique-o! Crucifique-o!”.
“Levem-no vocês e crucifiquem-no”, disse Pilatos. “Eu o considero inocente.”
7 Os líderes judeus responderam: “Pela nossa lei ele deve morrer, pois chamou a si mesmo de Filho de Deus”.
8 Quando Pilatos ouviu isso, ficou ainda mais amedrontado. 9 Levou Jesus de volta para dentro do palácio[a] e lhe perguntou: “De onde você vem?”. Jesus, porém, não respondeu. 10 “Por que você se nega a falar comigo?”, perguntou Pilatos. “Não sabe que tenho autoridade para soltá-lo ou crucificá-lo?”
11 Jesus disse: “Você não teria autoridade alguma sobre mim se esta não lhe fosse dada de cima. Portanto, aquele que me entregou a você tem um pecado maior”.
12 Então Pilatos tentou libertá-lo, mas os líderes judeus gritavam: “Se o senhor soltar este homem, não é amigo de César! Quem se declara rei se rebela contra César”.
13 Ao ouvir isso, Pilatos trouxe Jesus para fora novamente e se sentou no tribunal, na plataforma chamada “Pavimento de Pedras” (em aramaico, Gábata). 14 Era por volta de meio-dia, no dia da preparação para a Páscoa. E Pilatos disse ao povo: “Vejam, aqui está o seu rei!”.
15 “Fora com ele!”, gritaram. “Fora com ele! Crucifique-o!”
“O quê? Crucificar o seu rei?”, perguntou Pilatos.
Em resposta, os principais sacerdotes gritaram: “Não temos outro rei além de César!”.
16 Então Pilatos lhes entregou Jesus para ser crucificado. E eles levaram Jesus.
A crucificação
17 Carregando a própria cruz, Jesus foi ao local chamado Lugar da Caveira (em aramaico, Gólgota). 18 Ali eles o pregaram na cruz. Outros dois foram crucificados com Jesus, um de cada lado e ele no meio. 19 Pilatos colocou no alto da cruz uma placa que dizia: “Jesus, o nazareno,[b] Rei dos judeus”. 20 O lugar onde Jesus foi crucificado ficava perto da cidade, e a placa estava escrita em aramaico, latim e grego, de modo que muitos judeus podiam ler a inscrição.
21 Os principais sacerdotes disseram a Pilatos: “Mude a inscrição de ‘Rei dos judeus’ para ‘Ele disse: Eu sou o rei dos judeus’”.
22 Pilatos respondeu: “O que escrevi, escrevi”.
23 Depois que os soldados crucificaram Jesus, repartiram suas roupas em quatro partes, uma para cada um deles. Também pegaram sua túnica, mas ela era sem costura, tecida numa única peça, de alto a baixo. 24 Por isso disseram: “Em vez de rasgá-la, vamos tirar sortes para ver quem ficará com ela”. Isso cumpriu as Escrituras que dizem: “Repartiram minhas roupas entre si e lançaram sortes por minha veste”.[c] E foi o que fizeram.
25 Perto da cruz estavam a mãe de Jesus, a irmã dela, Maria, esposa de Clopas, e Maria Madalena. 26 Quando Jesus viu sua mãe ali, ao lado do discípulo a quem ele amava, disse-lhe: “Mulher, este é seu filho”. 27 E, ao discípulo, disse: “Esta é sua mãe”. Daquele momento em diante, o discípulo a recebeu em sua casa.
A morte de Jesus
28 Jesus sabia que sua missão havia terminado e, para cumprir as Escrituras, disse: “Estou com sede”.[d] 29 Havia ali uma vasilha com vinagre, de modo que ensoparam uma esponja no vinagre, a colocaram na ponta de um caniço de hissopo e a ergueram até os lábios de Jesus. 30 Depois de prová-la, Jesus disse: “Está consumado”. Então, inclinou a cabeça e entregou o espírito.
31 Era o Dia da Preparação, e os líderes judeus não queriam que os corpos ficassem pendurados ali até o dia seguinte, que seria um sábado muito especial. Por isso pediram a Pilatos que mandasse quebrar as pernas dos crucificados e removê-los. 32 Assim, os soldados vieram e quebraram as pernas dos dois homens crucificados com Jesus. 33 Mas, quando chegaram a Jesus, viram que ele já estava morto e, portanto, não quebraram suas pernas. 34 Um dos soldados, porém, furou seu lado com uma lança e, no mesmo instante, correu sangue com água. 35 Essa informação provém de uma testemunha ocular. Ela diz a verdade para que vocês também creiam. 36 Essas coisas aconteceram para que se cumprissem as Escrituras que dizem: “Nenhum dos seus ossos será quebrado”,[e] 37 e “Olharão para aquele a quem transpassaram”.[f]
O sepultamento de Jesus
38 Depois disso, José de Arimateia, que tinha sido discípulo secreto de Jesus porque temia os líderes judeus, pediu autorização a Pilatos para tirar da cruz o corpo de Jesus. Quando Pilatos lhe deu permissão, José veio e levou o corpo. 39 Estava com ele Nicodemos, o homem que tinha ido conversar com Jesus à noite. Nicodemos trouxe cerca de 35 litros[g] de óleo perfumado feito com mirra e aloés. 40 Seguindo os costumes judaicos de sepultamento, envolveram o corpo de Jesus em lençóis compridos de linho, junto com essas especiarias. 41 O local da crucificação ficava próximo a um jardim, onde havia um túmulo novo que nunca tinha sido usado. 42 Como era o Dia da Preparação para a Páscoa judaica,[h] e uma vez que o túmulo ficava perto, colocaram Jesus ali.
