John 19:1-7
New Matthew Bible
Christ is crucified. He commits his mother to John’s care, sheds his blood, and is buried.
19 Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him. 2 And the soldiers wound a crown of thorns and put it on his head. And they put on him a purple garment, 3 and said, Hail, King of the Jews! And they struck him on the face.
4 Pilate went forth again and said to the people, Look, I am bringing him out to you so that you may know that I find no fault in him. 5 Then Jesus came forth wearing the crown of thorns and the robe of purple. And Pilate said to them, Behold the man!
6 When the high priests and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him! Pilate said to them, You take 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.
