Webster - John - 19

19:1  Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged [him].

19:2  And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put [it] on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

19:3  And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

19:4  Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith to them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.

19:5  Then Jesus came forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And [Pilate] saith to them, Behold the man!

19:6  When therefore the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify [him], crucify [him]. Pilate saith to them, Take ye him, and crucify [him]: for I find no fault in him.

19:7  The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

19:8  When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;

19:9  And went again into the judgment-hall, and saith to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

19:10  Then saith Pilate to him, Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not, that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

19:11  Jesus answered, Thou couldst have no power against me; except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me to thee hath the greater sin.

19:12  And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Cesar's friend. Whoever maketh himself a king, speaketh against Cesar.

19:13  When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down on the judgment-seat, in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

19:14  And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith to the Jews, Behold your King!

19:15  But they cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify him. Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cesar.

19:16  Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led [him] away.

19:17  And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called [the place] of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha:

19:18  Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on each side one, and Jesus in the midst.

19:19  And Pilate wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

19:20  Many of the Jews then read this title: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, [and] Latin.

19:21  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.

19:22  Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.

19:23  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.

19:24  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 cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

19:25  Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

19:26  When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

19:27  Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her to his own [home].

19:28  After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

19:29  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.

19:30  When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and expired.

19:31  The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath, (for that sabbath was a great day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.

19:32  Then came the soldiers, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him.

19:33  But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they broke not his legs:

19:34  But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came out blood and water.

19:35  And he that saw [it], testified, and his testimony is true: and he knoweth that he speaketh truth, that ye may believe.

19:36  For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

19:37  And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

19:38  And after this, Joseph of Arimathea (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.

19:39  And there came also Nicodemus (who at the first came to Jesus by night) and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound [weight].

19:40  Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

19:41  Now in the place where he was crucified, there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulcher, in which was never man yet laid.

19:42  There they laid Jesus therefore, because of the Jews' preparation-[day], for the sepulcher was nigh at hand.
