1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
1 So Pilate took Jesus and had him whipped.
2 And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they dressed him in a purple robe.
2 The soldiers, having braided a crown from thorns, set it on his head, threw a purple robe over him,
3 They kept coming up to him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and striking him on the face.
3 and approached him with, "Hail, King of the Jews!" Then they greeted him with slaps in the face.
4 Pilate went out again and said to them, "Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no case against him."
4 Pilate went back out again and said to them, "I present him to you, but I want you to know that I do not find him guilty of any crime."
5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!"
5 Just then Jesus came out wearing the thorn crown and purple robe. Pilate announced, "Here he is: the Man."
6 When the chief priests and the police saw him, they shouted, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him; I find no case against him."
6 When the high priests and police saw him, they shouted in a frenzy, "Crucify! Crucify!" Pilate told them, "You take him. You crucify him. I find nothing wrong with him."
7 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has claimed to be the Son of God."
7 The Jews answered, "We have a law, and by that law he must die because he claimed to be the Son of God."
8 Now when Pilate heard this, he was more afraid than ever.
8 When Pilate heard this, he became even more scared.
9 He entered his headquarters again and asked Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
9 He went back into the palace and said to Jesus, "Where did you come from?" Jesus gave no answer.
10 Pilate therefore said to him, "Do you refuse to speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?"
10 Pilate said, "You won't talk? Don't you know that I have the authority to pardon you, and the authority to - crucify you?"
11 Jesus answered him, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin."
11 Jesus said, "You haven't a shred of authority over me except what has been given you from heaven. That's why the one who betrayed me to you has committed a far greater fault."
12 From then on Pilate tried to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are no friend of the emperor. Everyone who claims to be a king sets himself against the emperor."
12 At this, Pilate tried his best to pardon him, but the Jews shouted him down: "If you pardon this man, you're no friend of Caesar's. Anyone setting himself up as 'king' defies Caesar."
13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside and sat on the judge's bench at a place called The Stone Pavement, or in Hebrew Gabbatha.
13 When Pilate heard those words, he led Jesus outside. He sat down at the judgment seat in the area designated Stone Court (in Hebrew, Gabbatha).
14 Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover; and it was about noon. He said to the Jews, "Here is your King!"
14 It was the preparation day for Passover. The hour was noon. Pilate said to the Jews, "Here is your king."
15 They cried 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 the emperor."
15 They shouted back, "Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him!" Pilate said, "I am to crucify your king?" The high priests answered, "We have no king except Caesar."
16 Then he handed him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus;
16 Pilate caved in to their demand. He turned him over to be crucified.
17 and carrying the cross by himself, he went out to what is called The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
17 Carrying his cross, Jesus went out to the place called Skull Hill (the name in Hebrew is Golgotha),
18 There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, with Jesus between them.
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate also had an inscription written and put on the cross. It read, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."
19 Pilate wrote a sign and had it placed on the cross. It read: jesus the nazarene the king of the jews.
20 Many of the Jews read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
20 Many of the Jews read the sign because the place where Jesus was crucified was right next to the city. It was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, "The King of the Jews,' but, "This man said, I am King of the Jews.' "
21 The Jewish high priests objected. "Don't write," they said to Pilate, "'The King of the Jews.' Make it, 'This man said, "I am the King of the Jews."'"
22 Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written."
22 Pilate said, "What I've written, I've written."
23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier. They also took his tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top.
23 When they crucified him, the Roman soldiers took his clothes and divided them up four ways, to each soldier a fourth. But his robe was seamless, a single piece of weaving,
24 So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see who will get it." This was to fulfill what the scripture says, "They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast lots."
24 so they said to each other, "Let's not tear it up. Let's throw dice to see who gets it." This confirmed the Scripture that said, "They divided up my clothes among them and threw dice for my coat." (The soldiers validated the Scriptures!)
25 And that is what the soldiers did. Meanwhile, standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
25 Jesus' mother, his aunt, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene stood at the foot of the cross.
26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, "Woman, here is your son."
26 Jesus saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing near her. He said to his mother, "Woman, here is your son."
27 Then he said to the disciple, "Here is your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.
27 Then to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that moment the disciple accepted her as his own mother.
28 After this, when Jesus knew that all was now finished, he said (in order to fulfill the scripture), "I am thirsty."
28 Jesus, seeing that everything had been completed so that the Scripture record might also be complete, then said, "I'm thirsty."
29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth.
29 A jug of sour wine was standing by. Someone put a sponge soaked with the wine on a javelin and lifted it 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.
30 After he took the wine, Jesus said, "It's done . . . complete." Bowing his head, he offered up his spirit.
31 Since it was the day of Preparation, the Jews did not want the bodies left on the cross during the sabbath, especially because that sabbath was a day of great solemnity. So they asked Pilate to have the legs of the crucified men broken and the bodies removed.
31 Then the Jews, since it was the day of Sabbath preparation, and so the bodies wouldn't stay on the crosses over the Sabbath (it was a high holy day that year), petitioned Pilate that their legs be broken to speed death, and the bodies taken down.
32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who had been crucified with him.
32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man crucified with Jesus, and then the other.
33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
33 When they got to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they didn't break his legs.
34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once blood and water came out.
34 One of the soldiers stabbed him in the side with his spear. Blood and water gushed out.
35 (He who saw this has testified so that you also may believe. His testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth.)
35 The eyewitness to these things has presented an accurate report. He saw it himself and is telling the truth so that you, also, will believe.
36 These things occurred so that the scripture might be fulfilled, "None of his bones shall be broken."
36 These things that happened confirmed the Scripture, "Not a bone in his body was broken,"
37 And again another passage of scripture says, "They will look on the one whom they have pierced."
37 and the other Scripture that reads, "They will stare at the one they pierced."
38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews, asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission; so he came and removed his body.
38 After all this, Joseph of Arimathea (he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, because he was intimidated by the Jews) petitioned Pilate to take the body of Jesus. Pilate gave permission. So Joseph came and took the body.
39 Nicodemus, who had at first come to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about a hundred pounds.
39 Nicodemus, who had first come to Jesus at night, came now in broad daylight carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.
40 They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the spices in linen cloths, according to the burial custom of the Jews.
40 They took Jesus' body and, following the Jewish burial custom, wrapped it in linen with the spices.
41 Now there was a garden in the place where he was crucified, and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.
41 There was a garden near the place he was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been placed.
42 And so, because it was the Jewish day of Preparation, and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
42 So, because it was Sabbath preparation for the Jews and the tomb was convenient, they placed Jesus in it.
