The
Crown of Thorns |
|
|
 |
|
John 19:1
|
|
Pilate then took Jesus and scourged Him. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:2
|
|
And the soldiers twisted together a crown of
thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him; |
| |
|
|
|
John 19:3
|
|
and they began to come up to Him and say, "Hail,
King of the Jews!" and to give Him slaps in the face. |
| |
|
|
|
John 19:4
|
|
Pilate came out again and *said
to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find
no guilt in Him." |
| |
|
|
|
John 19:5
|
|
Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns
and the purple robe. Pilate *said
to them, "Behold, the Man!" |
| |
|
|
|
John 19:6
|
|
So when the chief priests and the officers saw
Him, they cried out saying, "Crucify, crucify!" Pilate *said
to them, "Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him." |
| |
|
|
|
John 19:7
|
|
The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by
that law He ought to die because He made Himself out to be the Son of God." |
|
|
|
|
John 19:8
|
|
Therefore when Pilate heard this statement,
he was even more afraid; |
|
|
|
|
John 19:9
|
|
and he entered into the Praetorium again and
*said
to Jesus, "Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer. |
|
|
|
|
John 19:10
|
|
So Pilate *said
to Him, "You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I
have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?" |
|
|
|
|
John 19:11
|
|
Jesus answered, "You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin." |
|
|
|
|
John 19:12
|
|
As a result of this Pilate made efforts to release
Him, but the Jews cried out saying, "If you release this Man, you are no friend
of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar." |
|
|
|
|
John 19:13
|
|
Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he
brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement,
but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. |
|
|
|
|
John 19:14
|
|
Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover;
it was about the sixth hour. And he *said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!" |
|
|
|
|
John 19:15
|
|
So 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." |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
Crucifixion |
|
|
|
|
John 19:16
|
|
So he then handed Him over to them to be crucified.
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:17
|
|
They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out,
bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called
in Hebrew, Golgotha. |
|
|
|
|
John 19:18
|
|
There they crucified Him, and with Him two other
men, one on either side, and Jesus in between. |
|
|
|
|
John 19:19
|
|
Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it
on the cross. It was written, "JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS." |
| |
|
|
|
John 19:20
|
|
Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription,
for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written
in Hebrew, Latin and in Greek. |
| |
|
|
|
John 19:21
|
|
So the chief priests of the Jews were saying
to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews'; but that He said, 'I am King
of the Jews.'" |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:22
|
|
Pilate answered, "What I have written I have
written." |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:23
|
|
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus,
took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also
the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:24
|
|
So they said to one another, "Let us not tear
it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be"; this was to fulfill the
Scripture: "THEY DIVIDED MY OUTER GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY
CAST LOTS." |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:25
|
|
Therefore the soldiers did these things. But
standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary
the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:26
|
|
When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple
whom He loved standing nearby, He *said
to His mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:27
|
|
Then He *said
to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" From that
hour the disciple took her into his own household. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:28
|
|
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had
already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, *said,
"I am thirsty." |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:29
|
|
A jar full of sour wine was standing there;
so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought
it up to His mouth. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:30
|
|
Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine,
He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed His head
and gave up His spirit. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Care
of the Body of Jesus |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:31
|
|
Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation,
so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath
was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might
be taken away. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:32
|
|
So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of
the first man and of the other who was crucified with Him; |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:33
|
|
but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was
already dead, they did not break His legs. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:34
|
|
But one of the soldiers pierced His side with
a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:35
|
|
And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony
is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
|
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:36
|
|
For these things came to pass to fulfill the
Scripture, "NOT A BONE OF HIM SHALL BE BROKEN." |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:37
|
|
And again another Scripture says, "THEY SHALL
LOOK ON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED." |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:38
|
|
After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being
a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that
he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came
and took away His body. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:39
|
|
Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night,
also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:40
|
|
So they took the body of Jesus and bound it
in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:41
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
John 19:42
|
|
Therefore because of the Jewish day of preparation,
since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there. |
