* Therefore Pilate then took Jesus and scourged him . * And the soldiers having woven a crown of thorns , they put it on his head , and put around him a purple garment . * And they said , Hail , king of the Jews ! And they gave him slaps . * Therefore Pilate again went forth outside , and says to them , Behold , I bring him out to you , so that ye may know that I find not one cause in him . * Jesus therefore came outside , wearing the thorny crown and the purple robe . And he says to them , Look at the man ! * When therefore the chief priests and the subordinates saw him , they cried out , saying , Crucify , crucify him ! Pilate says to them , Ye take ye him and crucify , for I find no cause in him . * The Jews answered him , We have a law , and according to our law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God . * When Pilate therefore heard this word , he was more afraid . * And he went into the Praetorium again , and says to Jesus , Where are thou from ? But Jesus gave him no answer . * Pilate therefore says to him , Thou do not speak to me ? Know thou not that I have authority to crucify thee , and I have authority to release thee ? * Jesus answered him , Thou would have no authority against me , unless it were given thee from above . Because of this he who delivered me to thee has greater sin . * From this Pilate sought to release him , but the Jews cried out , saying , If thou release this man , thou are not Caesar 's friend . Every man who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar . * When Pilate therefore heard this word , he brought Jesus out , and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement , but in Hebrew , Gabbatha . * Now it was the Preparation of the Passover , and about the sixth hour . And he says to the Jews , Look at your king ! * But they cried out , Away , away , crucify him ! Pilate says to them , Shall I crucify your king ? The chief priests answered , We have no king except Caesar . * Therefore he then delivered him to them , so that he might be crucified , and they took and led Jesus away . * And he went out bearing his cross to a place called , of a Skull , a place that is called in Hebrew , Golgotha , * where they crucified him , and two others with him , on this side and that , and Jesus in the middle . * And Pilate also wrote a title , and put it on the cross . And it was written , JESUS THE NAZARENE , THE KING OF THE JEWS . * Therefore many of the Jews read this title , because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city , and it was written in Hebrew , in Greek , in Latin . * Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate , Do not write , The king of the Jews , but , That man said I am king of the Jews . * Pilate answered , What I have written I have written . * The soldiers therefore when they crucified Jesus , took his garments and made four parts , to each soldier a part , and also the tunic . But the tunic was a seamless weave , from the top throughout . * They said therefore among themselves , Let us not divide it , but cast lots for it , whose it will be , so that the scripture might be fulfilled , which says , They parted my garments among them , and for my clothing they cast lots . There * And his mother , and his mother 's sister , Mary the wife of Cleopas , and Mary Magdalene had stood near the cross of Jesus . * When Jesus therefore saw his mother , and the disciple whom he loved standing by , he says to his mother , Woman , behold thy son . * Then says he to the disciple , Behold , thy mother . And from that hour the disciple took her to his own place . * After this , Jesus , having seen that all things are now completed , so that the scripture might be fully complete , says , I thirst . * Therefore a vessel full of vinegar was set there . And having filled a sponge with the vinegar , and having put it around a hyssop , they brought it to his mouth . * When therefore Jesus received the vinegar , he said , It is finished , and after bowing his head , he gave up the spirit . * The Jews therefore , so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath , since it was Preparation (for it was the high day of that Sabbath ), they besought Pilate that their legs might be broken , and they might be remove * The soldiers therefore came , and indeed broke the legs of the first , and of the other man who was crucified with him . * But having come to Jesus , when they saw him now having died , they did not break his legs . * But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear , and straightaway blood and water came out . * And he who has seen has testified , and his testimony is true . And that man knows that he speaks true , so that ye may believe . * For these things happened so that the scripture might be fulfilled , Not a bone of him will be broken . * And again another scripture says , They will look toward whom they pierced . * And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea , being a disciple of Jesus , but secretly because of fear of the Jews , besought Pilate that he might remove the body of Jesus , and Pilate allowed him . Therefore he came and removed the bod * And Nicodemus also came (he who at the first came to Jesus by night ) bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes , about a hundred pounds . * So they took the body of Jesus , and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices , just as is the custom of the Jews to bury . * Now a garden was in the place where he was crucified , and in the garden a new sepulcher in which no man was yet laid . * Therefore because of the Jews ' Preparation (because the sepulcher was near ) they laid Jesus there .
