19:1  Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
19:2  And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
19:3  And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands.
19:4  Pilate therefore went forth again, and said unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that you may know that I find no fault in him.
19:5  Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate said unto them, Behold the man!
19:6  When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate said unto them, You take him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
19:7  The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
19:8  When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
19:9  And went again into the judgment hall, and said unto Jesus, From where are you? But Jesus gave him no answer.
19:10  Then said Pilate unto him, Speak you not unto me? know you not that I have power to crucify you, and have power to release you?
19:11  Jesus answered, You could have no power at all against me, except it were given you from above: therefore he that delivered me unto you has the greater sin.
19:12  And from there on Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend: whosoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.
19:13  When Pilate therefore heard that 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.
19:14  And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he said unto the Jews, Behold your King!
19:15  But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate said unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
19:16  Then he delivered him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
19:17  And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha:
19:18  Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19:19  And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was,
19:20  This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
19:21  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.
19:22  Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
19:23  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 was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
19:24  They said therefore among themselves, Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which said, They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
19:25  Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
19:26  When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he said unto his mother, Woman, behold your son!
19:27  Then said he to the disciple, Behold your mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
19:28  After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst.
19:29  Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
19:30  When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.
19:31  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 a high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
19:32  Then came the soldiers, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him.
19:33  But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they broke not his legs:
19:34  But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately came there out blood and water.
19:35  And he that saw it bares record, and his record is true: and he knows that he says the truth, that you might believe.
19:36  For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
19:37  And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
19:38  And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
19:39  And there came also Nicodemus, who at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight.
19:40  Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
19:41  Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulcher, in which was never man yet laid.
19:42  There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulcher was near at hand.
