[1] Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged [2] And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, [3] And Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. [4] Pilate went forth again, and saith unto them, I bring him forth that ye may know that I find no fault in him. [5] Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, the man! [6] When the chief priests therefore and officers him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. [7] The Jews answered him, have a law, and by law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. [8] When Pilate therefore heard saying, the more afraid; [9] And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. [10] Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not knowest thou not that I have power to crucify and have power to release [11] Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against given from above: he that delivered hath sin. [12] And from Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews saying, If go, not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. [13] When Pilate therefore heard 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 the preparation of the passover, and the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, King! [15] they cried out, Away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify King? The chief priests answered, We have no king Caesar. [16] Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. they took Jesus, [17] And he bearing 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 JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. [20] title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified nigh to the city: and written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. [21] Then 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 [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 without seam, woven from the top throughout. [24] They said therefore among themselves, not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted raiment among them, and for vesture they did cast lots. 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 his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith mother, Woman, behold son! [27] Then saith he to the disciple, Behold mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own [28] After Jesus knowing that all things now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. [29] Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: a spunge with vinegar, 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 the preparation, the bodies remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day 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, that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: [34] But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and came there out blood and water.
