John:19:16-37
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified .
And they took Jesus ,
and led him away .
*
And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull ,
which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha :
*
Where they crucified him ,
and two other with him ,
on either side one ,
and Jesus in the midst .
*
And Pilate wrote a title ,
and put it on the cross .
And the writing was ,
JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Pilate answered ,
What I have written I have written .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother ,
and his mother '
s sister ,
Mary the wife of Cleophas ,
and Mary Magdalene .
*
When Jesus therefore saw his mother ,
and the disciple standing by ,
whom he loved ,
he saith unto his mother ,
Woman ,
behold thy son !
*
Then saith he to the disciple ,
Behold thy mother !
And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home .
*
After this ,
Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished ,
that the scripture might be fulfilled ,
saith ,
I thirst .
*
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 .
*
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar ,
he said ,
It is finished :
and he bowed his head ,
and gave up the ghost .
*
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 .
*
Then came the soldiers ,
and brake the legs of the first ,
and of the other which was crucified with him .
*
But when they came to Jesus ,
and saw that he was dead already ,
they brake not his legs :
*
But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side ,
and forthwith came there out blood and water .
*
And he that saw it bare record ,
and his record is true :
and he knoweth that he saith true ,
that ye might believe .
*
For these things were done ,
that the scripture should be fulfilled ,
A bone of him shall not be broken .
*
And again another scripture saith ,
They shall look on him whom they pierced .
