Then
Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
02 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns,
and put it on his head, and they put on him a
purple robe,
03 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they
smote him with their hands.
04 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.
05 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of
thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith
unto them, Behold the man!
06 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.
07 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by
our law he ought to die, because he made himself
the Son of God.
08 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he
was the more afraid;
09 And went again into the judgment hall, and
saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave
him no answer.
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, 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 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 forth, and sat down in the judgment
seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but
in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
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 saith unto them, Shall I
crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We
have no king but Caesar.
16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to
be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him
away.
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 other with
him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
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 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 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.

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 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 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 standing by, whom he loved, he saith
unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold
thy mother!And from that hour that disciple
took her unto his own home.
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were
now accomplished, that the scripture might be
fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
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 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar,
he said, It is finished: and he
bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
31 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 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 dead already, they brake not his legs:
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced
his side, and forthwith came there out blood and
water.
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, A bone of him shall not be
broken.
37 And again another scripture saith, They shall
look on him whom they pierced.
38 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 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 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 sepulchre,
wherein was never man yet laid.
42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the
Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh
at hand.
