The Soldiers Mock Jesus

Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged [him].

1

The Soldiers Mock Jesus

So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.

2

And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,

2

And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe.

3

and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face.

3

[a]Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck Him with their hands.

4

And Pilate went out again and says to them, Lo, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault whatever.

4

Pilate then went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in Him.”

5

(Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man!

5

Pilate’s Decision

Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!”

6

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

6

Therefore, when the chief 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 according to [our] law he ought to die, because he made himself Son of God.

7

The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to [b]our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”

8

When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid,

8

Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid,

9

and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

9

and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

10

Pilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to *me*? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee?

10

Then Pilate said to Him, “Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have [c]power to crucify You, and power to release You?”

11

Jesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he that has delivered me up to thee has [the] greater sin.

11

Jesus answered, “You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”

12

From this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou releasest this [man], thou art not a friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar.

12

From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.”

13

Pilate therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus out and sat down upon [the] judgment-seat, at a place called Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha;

13

When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

14

(now it was [the] preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour;) and he says to the Jews, Behold your king!

14

Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold your King!”

15

But they cried out, Take [him] away, take [him] away, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

15

But they cried out, “Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!”
Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?”
The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”

16

The Crucifixion

Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.

16

Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. Then they took Jesus [d]and led Him away.

17

And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called [place] of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;

17

The King on a Cross

And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,

18

where they crucified him, and with him two others, [one] on this side, and [one] on that, and Jesus in the middle.

18

where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.

19

And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews.

19

Now 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 therefore many of the Jews read, for the place of the city where Jesus was crucified was near; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin.

20

Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

21

The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but that *he* said, I am king of the Jews.

21

Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘He said, “I am the King of the Jews.” ’ ”

22

Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.

22

Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

23

The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and the body-coat; but the body-coat was seamless, woven through the whole from the top.

23

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.

24

They said therefore to one another, Let us not rend it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled which says, They parted my garments among themselves, and on my vesture they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did these things.

24

They said therefore among themselves, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:
“They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.”
Therefore the soldiers did these things.

25

And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.

25

Behold Your Mother

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

26

Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.

26

When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!”

27

Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

27

Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.

28

The Death of Jesus

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.

28

It Is Finished

After this, Jesus, [e]knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!”

29

There was a vessel therefore there full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting hyssop round it, they put it up to his mouth.

29

Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.

30

When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.

30

So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

31

Jesus' Side is Pierced

The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was [the] preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great [day],) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away.

31

Jesus’ Side Is Pierced

Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

32

The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;

32

Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him.

33

but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs,

33

But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

34

but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.

34

But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

35

And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.

35

And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe.

36

For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.

36

For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, “Not one of His bones shall be broken.”

37

And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

37

And again another Scripture says, “They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”

38

The Burial of Jesus

And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.

38

Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb

After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus.

39

And Nicodemus also, who at first came to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds [weight].

39

And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

40

They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it up in linen with the spices, as it is the custom with the Jews to prepare for burial.

40

Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

41

But there was in the place where he had been crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.

41

Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

42

There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.

42

So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby.
