The Soldiers Mock Jesus

So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.

1

The Soldiers Mock Jesus

Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

2

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

2

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

3

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

3

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

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.”

4

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.

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!”

5

Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

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.”

6

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.

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.”

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.

8

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

8

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

9

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

9

And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

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?”

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, “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.”

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

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.”

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 out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

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

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

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 said 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 saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

16

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

16

The Crucifixion

Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

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,

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 others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.

18

Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

19

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

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

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.

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

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.” ’ ”

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.”

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 each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.

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 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.

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

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.

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 whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!”

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

27

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

28

It Is Finished

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

28

The Death of Jesus

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

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.

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

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

30

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

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.

31

Jesus' Side is Pierced

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

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 already dead, they did not break His legs.

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 pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

34

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

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.

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, “Not one of His bones shall be broken.”

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 says, “They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”

37

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

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.

38

The Burial of Jesus

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

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 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.

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 tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

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

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

42

There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
