Then Pilate had Jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip.
Then Pilate had Jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged [him].
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged [him].
The soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him.
And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,
“Hail! King of the Jews!” they mocked, as they slapped him across the face.
and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face.
Pilate went outside again and said to the people, “I am going to bring him out to you now, but understand clearly that I find him not guilty.”
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.
Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said, “Look, here is the man!”
(Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man!
When they saw him, the leading priests and Temple guards began shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
“Take him yourselves and crucify him,” Pilate said. “I find him not guilty.”
“Take him yourselves and crucify him,” Pilate said. “I find him not guilty.”
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.
The Jewish leaders replied, “By our law he ought to die because he called himself the Son of God.”
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to [our] law he ought to die, because he made himself Son of God.
When Pilate heard this, he was more frightened than ever.
When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid,
and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
“Why don’t you talk to me?” Pilate demanded. “Don’t you realize that I have the power to release you or crucify you?”
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?
Then Jesus said, “You would have no power over me at all unless it were given to you from above. So the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin.”
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.
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.
When they said this, Pilate brought Jesus out to them again. Then Pilate sat down on the judgment seat on the platform that is called the Stone Pavement (in Hebrew, Gabbatha).
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;
(now it was [the] preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour;) and he says to the Jews, Behold your king!
“Away with him,” they yelled. “Away with him! Crucify him!”
“What? Crucify your king?” Pilate asked.
“We have no king but Caesar,” the leading priests shouted back.
“What? Crucify your king?” Pilate asked.
“We have no king but Caesar,” the leading priests shouted back.
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.
Then Pilate turned Jesus over to them to be crucified.

So they took Jesus away.

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

Carrying the cross by himself, he went to the place called Place of the Skull (in Hebrew, Golgotha).
And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called [place] of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;
There they nailed him to the cross. Two others were crucified with him, one on either side, with Jesus between them.
where they crucified him, and with him two others, [one] on this side, and [one] on that, and Jesus in the middle.
And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews.
The place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, so that many people could read it.
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.
Then the leading priests objected and said to Pilate, “Change it from ‘The King of the Jews’ to ‘He said, I am King of the Jews.’”
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.
Pilate replied, “No, what I have written, I have written.”
Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided his clothes among the four of them. They also took his robe, but it was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

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.
Standing near the cross were Jesus’ mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene.
And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.
When Jesus saw his mother standing there beside the disciple he loved, he said to her, “Dear woman, here is your son.”
Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.
And he said to this disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from then on this disciple took her into his home.
Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
The Death of Jesus
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.
A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips.
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.
When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.
It was the day of preparation, and the Jewish leaders didn’t want the bodies hanging there the next day, which was the Sabbath (and a very special Sabbath, because it was Passover week). So they asked Pilate to hasten their deaths by ordering that their legs be broken. Then their bodies could be taken down.
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.

So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men crucified with Jesus.
The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;
But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they didn’t break his legs.
but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs,
One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.
And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.
For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.
And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
The Burial of Jesus
Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret disciple of Jesus (because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate for permission to take down Jesus’ body. When Pilate gave permission, Joseph came and took the body away.
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.

And Nicodemus also, who at first came to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds [weight].
Following Jewish burial custom, they wrapped Jesus’ body with the spices in long sheets of linen cloth.
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.
The place of crucifixion was near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before.
