* Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged Him . * And having plaited a wreath out of thorns , the soldiers put it on His head . And they threw a purple mantle around Him , * and said , Hail , king of the Jews ! And they gave Him blows with the palm . * Then Pilate went outside again and said to them , Behold , I bring Him out to you that you may know that I do not find even one crime in Him ! * Then Jesus came outside , wearing the thorny wreath and the purple mantle . And he said to them , Behold , the Man ! * Then when the chief priests and the under-officers saw Him , they cried out , saying , Crucify ! Crucify ! Pilate said to them , You take him and crucify him , for I do not find one crime in him ! * Then the Jews answered him , We have a law , and according to our Law he ought to die because he made himself Son of God ! * Then when Pilate heard this word , he was more afraid . * And he entered into the praetorium again and said to Jesus , From where are you ? But Jesus did not give him an answer . * So Pilate said to Him , Do you not speak to me ? Do you not know that I have authority to crucify you , and I have authority to release you ? * Jesus answered , You would have no authority against Me , not any , if it were not given to you from above . Because of this , the one delivering Me to you has a greater sin . * From this time , Pilate sought to release Him . But the Jews cried out , saying , If you release this one , you are not a friend of Caesar . Everyone making himself a king speaks against Caesar . * Then hearing this word , Pilate led Jesus out . And he sat down on the judgment seat , at a place called The Pavement , but in Hebrew , Gabbatha . * And it was the Preparation of the Passover , and about the sixth hour . And he said to the Jews , Behold , your king ! * But they cried out , Away , Away ! Crucify him ! Pilate said to them , Shall I crucify your king ? The chief priests answered , We have no king except Caesar . * Therefore , then , he delivered Him up to them , that He might be crucified . And they took Jesus and led Him away . * And He went out bearing His cross , to the place called Of a Skull (which is called in Hebrew , Golgotha ), * where they crucified Him , and two others with Him , on this side and on that side , and Jesus in the middle . * And Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross . And having been written , it was : 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 had been written in Hebrew , in Greek , in Latin . * Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate , Do not write , The king of the Jews , but that one said , I am king of the Jews . * Pilate answered , What I have written , I have written . * Then when they crucified Jesus , the soldiers took His garments and made four parts , a part to each soldier , also the tunic . And the tunic was seamless , woven from the top throughout . * Then they said to one another , Let us not tear it , but let us cast lots about it , whose it will be (that the Scripture might be fulfilled which said , "They divided My garments among them ," and "they threw a lot for My garment ." Then indeed the soldiers did these things . LXX-Psa . strkjv @21:19 ; MT-Psa . strkjv @22:18 ) * And His mother , and His mother 's sister Mary , the wife of Clopas , and Mary Magdalene stood by the cross of Jesus . * Then seeing His mother , and the disciple whom He loved standing by , Jesus said to His mother , Woman , behold your son ! * Then He said to the disciple , Behold , your mother ! And from that hour , the disciple took her into his own home . * After this , knowing that all things have now been finished that the Scripture be completed , Jesus said , I thirst . * Then a vessel full of vinegar was set , and having filled a sponge with vinegar , and putting hyssop around , they brought it to His mouth . Psa . strkjv @69:21 * Then when Jesus took the vinegar , He said , It has been finished . And bowing His head , He delivered up the spirit . * Then , since it was Preparation , that the bodies not remain on the cross on the sabbath , for great was the day of that sabbath , the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and they be taken away . * Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first , and of the other crucified with Him . * But on coming to Jesus , when they saw He was dead already , they did not break His legs . * But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a lance , and at once blood and water came out . * And the one seeing has borne witness and his witness is true ; and that one knows that he speaks truly , that you may believe . * For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled , "Not a bone of Him shall be broken ." Ex . strkjv @12:46 ; Psa . strkjv @34:20 * And again , a different Scripture says , "They shall look at Him whom they have pierced ." Zechariah . strkjv @12:10 * And after these things , Joseph from Arimathea , being a disciple of Jesus , but concealed because of fear of the Jews , asked Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus . And Pilate gave permission . Then he came and took the body of Jesus . * And Nicodemus also came , the one coming at first to Jesus by night , bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes , about a hundred Roman pounds . * Then they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linens , with the spices , as is usual with the Jews in burying . * And there was a garden in the place where He was crucified , and a new tomb in the garden , in which no one yet ever had been placed . * There , then , because of the Preparation of the Jews , because the tomb was near , they put Jesus .
