lont@John:19:1 @ Then Pilate caused him to be scourged.

lont@John:19:2 @ And the soldiers crowned him with a wreath of thorn, which they had platted; and having thrown a purple mantle about him,

lont@John:19:3 @ said, Hail! King of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face.

lont@John:19:4 @ Pilate went out again, and said to them, Lo, I bring him forth to you, that you may know that I find in him nothing culpable.

lont@John:19:5 @ Jesus then went forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple mantle, and Pilate said to them, Behold the man!

lont@John:19:6 @ When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried, saying, Crucify, crucify him! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him; for my part, I find no fault in him.

lont@John:19:7 @ The Jews answered, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he assumed the title of the Son of God.

lont@John:19:8 @ When Pilate heard this, he was the more afraid;

lont@John:19:9 @ and having returned to the praetorium, said to Jesus, Whence are you? But Jesus gave him no answer.

lont@John:19:10 @ Then Pilate said to him, Will you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to crucify you, and power to release you?

lont@John:19:11 @ Jesus replied,

lont@John:19:12 @ From that time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews exclaimed, If you release this man, you are not Cesar's friend. Whoever calls himself king, opposes Cesar.

lont@John:19:13 @ Pilate, on hearing these words, ordered Jesus to be brought forth, and sat down on the tribunal, in a place named The Pavement; in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

lont@John:19:14 @ (Now it was the preparation of the Paschal Sabbath, about the sixth hour.) And he said to the Jews, Behold your King.

lont@John:19:15 @ But they cried out, Away, away with him; crucify him. Pilate said to them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no King but Cesar.

lont@John:19:16 @ He delivered him, therefore, to be crucified.

lont@John:19:17 @ Then they took Jesus, and led him away. And he, carrying his cross, went out to a place called The Place of Skulls, which is, in Hebrew, Golgotha;

lont@John:19:18 @ where they crucified him, and two others with him; one on each side, and Jesus in the middle.

lont@John:19:19 @ Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross. The words were, JESUS, THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

lont@John:19:20 @ And many of the Jews read this title, (for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh the city,) and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin:

lont@John:19:21 @ then the chief priests said to Pilate, Write not the King of the Jews; but, Who calls himself King of the Jews.

lont@John:19:22 @ Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

lont@John:19:23 @ When the soldiers had nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his mantle and divided it into four parts, one to every soldier: they also took the coat, which was seamless, woven from the top throughout;

lont@John:19:24 @ «and said, among themselves, Let us not tear it, but determine by lot whose it shall be; by this verifying the scripture, which says,» 'They shared my mantle among them, and cast lots for my vesture.'

lont@John:19:25 @ Thus, therefore, acted the soldiers. Now, there stood near the cross of Jesus, his mother, and her sister Mary, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene.

lont@John:19:26 @ Then Jesus, observing his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing by, said to his mother,

lont@John:19:27 @ Then he said to the disciple, And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own house.

lont@John:19:28 @ After this, Jesus, (knowing that all was now accomplished,) that the scripture might be fulfilled, said,

lont@John:19:29 @ And there was a vessel there full of vinegar, they filled a sponge with vinegar, and, having fastened it to a twig of hyssop, held it to his mouth.

lont@John:19:30 @ When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, and bowing his head, yielded up his spirit.

lont@John:19:31 @ The Jews, therefore, lest the bodies should remain on the cross on the Sabbath, for it was the preparation, (and that Sabbath was a great day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and the bodies might be removed.

lont@John:19:32 @ Accordingly, the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first and of the other, who were crucified with him.

lont@John:19:33 @ But when they came to Jesus, and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

lont@John:19:34 @ But one of the soldiers with a spear, pierced his side, whence blood and water immediately issued.

lont@John:19:35 @ He was an eye-witness, who attests this, and his testimony deserves credit: nay, he is conscious that he speaks truth, that you may believe.

lont@John:19:36 @ «For these things happened that the scripture might be verified,» 'None of his bones shall be broken.'

lont@John:19:37 @ «Again, the scripture elsewhere says,» 'They shall look on him whom they have pierced.'

lont@John:19:38 @ After this, Joseph, the Arimathean, who was a disciple of Jesus, but a concealed disciple for fear of the Jews, asked permission of Pilate to take away the body of Jesus.

lont@John:19:39 @ Nicodemus also, who had formerly repaired to Jesus by night, came, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about a hundred pounds.

lont@John:19:40 @ These men took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen rollers, with the spices, which is the Jewish manner of embalming.

lont@John:19:41 @ Now, in the place where he was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, wherein no one had ever yet been laid.

lont@John:19:42 @ There they deposited Jesus, on account of the Jewish preparation, the tomb being near.
