          DASV: John 19    

1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him severely beaten.
2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, and put it
on his head, and dressed him in a purple robe.
3 They came to him, and said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" They
repeatedly struck him in the face.
4 Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, "Look, I bring
him out to you to let you know that I find no criminal charge
against him."
5 Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the
purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Look, here is the man!"
6 When the chief priests and officers saw him, they shouted out,
"Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate told them, "Take him yourselves,
and crucify him; for I find no criminal case against him."
7 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he
ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son of God."

8 When Pilate heard this accusation, he was even more afraid.
9 So he entered into the governor's palace again, and asked Jesus,
"Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not answer me? Don't you
realize that I have power to release you and to crucify you?"
11 Jesus replied, "You would have no power against me, except it
were given to you from above. Therefore the one who has handed
me over to you is guilty of a greater sin."
12 After this Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews shouted out,
"If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone
who makes himself a king opposes Caesar."
13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat
down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Stone Pavement
(in Aramaic, Gabbatha).
14 Now it was about noon on the day of the preparation for the
Passover. And Pilate said to the Jews, "Look, your King!"
15 Then they shouted out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify
him!" Pilate asked them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief
priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."
16 Then Pilate handed Jesus over to them to be crucified.

17 So they took Jesus and carrying the cross by himself, he went
to the place called "The Place of the Skull," or as it is
called in Aramaic, Golgotha.
18 There they crucified him, along with two others, one on
each side, with Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It
read, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."
20 This inscription was read by many of the Jews, for the
place where Jesus was crucified was near the city and it was
written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek.
21 Then the chief priests of the Jews complained to Pilate,
"Don't write, 'The King of the Jews,' but only that he claimed,
'I am King of the Jews'."
22 Pilate replied, "What I have written, I have written."
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his
garments and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier
and also the robe. Now the robe was seamless, woven into a
single piece.
24 So they said to each other, "Let us not tear it, but cast
lots for who will get it." This was done that the Scripture
might be fulfilled, "They parted my garments among them,
and for my clothes they cast lots."

25 So that is what the soldiers did. Now there were standing
by the cross of Jesus his mother, his mother's sister, Mary
the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus saw his mother, and standing by her was the
disciple whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, look,
here is your son!"
27 Then he said to the disciple, "Look, here is your mother!"
From that hour on the disciple took her to his own home.

28 After this Jesus knew that all things were now completed,
and so that the Scripture might be fulfilled he said,
"I thirst."
29 There was a jar of sour wine there, so they put a sponge
full of the sour wine on a hyssop, and held it up to his
mouth.
30 When Jesus had received the wine, he said, "It is finished."
Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
31 Then, because it was the day of preparation, the Jews did
not want the bodies to stay on the cross on the Sabbath, for
that Sabbath was a special high day. So they asked Pilate
to have their legs broken and the bodies removed.
32 Then soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, then
the other that was crucified with him.
33 When they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already,
so they did not break his legs.
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side,
and immediately blood and water came out.
35 The one who saw this has testified, and his witness is
true and he knows that what he said is true, so that you
also may believe.
36 For these things happened, that the Scripture might be
fulfilled, "None of his bones will be broken."
37 Again another Scripture says, "They will look on the one
whom they have pierced."

38 After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple
of Jesus, but secretly because of his fear of the Jews,
asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus.
Pilate gave him permission so he came and took away his body.
39 Nicodemus also came, who had first come to him at night,
bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about
seventy-five pounds.
40 So they took the body of Jesus, and wrapped it in linen
cloths with the spices, according to the burial customs
of the Jews.
41 Now at the place where he was crucified there was a
garden; and in the garden there was a new tomb where no
one had ever been laid.
42 Since it was the Jews' day of preparation, for the
tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
