John 19

NEW JERUSALEM	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Pilate then had Jesus taken away and scourged;	1 Then Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.
2 and after this, the soldiers twisted some thorns into a crown and put it on his head and dressed him ina purple robe.	2 And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple robe;
3 They kept coming up to him and saying, 'Hail, king of the Jews!' and slapping him in the face.	3 they came up to him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and struck him with their hands.
4 Pilate came outside again and said to them, 'Look, I am going to bring him out to you to let you seethat I find no case against him.'	4 Pilate went out again, and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him."
5 Jesus then came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said, 'Here is the man.'	5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold the man!"
6 When they saw him, the chief priests and the guards shouted, 'Crucify him! Crucify him!' Pilate said,'Take him yourselves and crucify him: I find no case against him.'	6 When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no crime in him."
7 The Jews replied, 'We have a Law, and according to that Law he ought to be put to death, because hehas claimed to be Son of God.'	7 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he has made himself the Son of God."
8 When Pilate heard them say this his fears increased.	8 When Pilate heard these words, he was the more afraid;
9 Re-entering the Praetorium, he said to Jesus, 'Where do you come from?' But Jesus made no answer.	9 he entered the praetorium again and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave no answer.
10 Pilate then said to him, 'Are you refusing to speak to me? Surely you know I have power to releaseyou and I have power to crucify you?'	10 Pilate therefore said to him, "You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?"
11 Jesus replied, 'You would have no power over me at al if it had not been given you from above; thatis why the man who handed me over to you has the greater guilt.'	11 Jesus answered him, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore he who delivered me to you has the greater sin."
12 From that moment Pilate was anxious to set him free, but the Jews shouted, 'If you set him free youare no friend of Caesar's; anyone who makes himself king is defying Caesar.'	12 Upon this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend; every one who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar."
13 Hearing these words, Pilate had Jesus brought out, and seated him on the chair of judgement at aplace cal ed the Pavement, in Hebrew Gabbatha.	13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, and in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 It was the Day of Preparation, about the sixth hour. 'Here is your king,' said Pilate to the Jews.	14 Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"
15 But they shouted, 'Away with him, away with him, crucify him.' Pilate said, 'Shall I crucify your king?'The chief priests answered, 'We have no king except Caesar.'	15 They cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."
16 So at that Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. They then took charge of Jesus,	16 Then he handed him over to them to be crucified.
17 and carrying his own cross he went out to the Place of the Skul or, as it is cal ed in Hebrew,Golgotha,	17 So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha.
18 where they crucified him with two others, one on either side, Jesus being in the middle.	18 There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.
19 Pilate wrote out a notice and had it fixed to the cross; it ran: 'Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews'.	19 Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross; it read, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."
20 This notice was read by many of the Jews, because the place where Jesus was crucified was nearthe city, and the writing was in Hebrew, Latin and Greek.	20 Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
21 So the Jewish chief priests said to Pilate, 'You should not write "King of the Jews", but that the mansaid, "I am King of the Jews". '	21 The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'This man said, I am King of the Jews.'"
22 Pilate answered, 'What I have written, I have written.'	22 Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written."
23 When the soldiers had finished crucifying Jesus they took his clothing and divided it into four shares,one for each soldier. His undergarment was seamless, woven in one piece from neck to hem;	23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took his garments and made four parts, one for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was without seam, woven from top to bottom;
24 so they said to one another, 'Instead of tearing it, let's throw dice to decide who is to have it.' In thisway the words of scripture were fulfilled: They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothes.That is what the soldiers did.	24 so they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be." This was to fulfill the scripture, "They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots."
25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Maryof Magdala.	25 So the soldiers did this. But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother,'Woman, this is your son.'	26 When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!"
27 Then to the disciple he said, 'This is your mother.' And from that hour the disciple took her into hishome.	27 Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
28 After this, Jesus knew that everything had now been completed and, so that the scripture should becompletely fulfil ed, he said: I am thirsty.	28 After this Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the scripture), "I thirst."
29 A jar full of sour wine stood there; so, putting a sponge soaked in the wine on a hyssop stick, theyheld it up to his mouth.	29 A bowl full of vinegar stood there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop and held it to his mouth.
30 After Jesus had taken the wine he said, 'It is fulfil ed'; and bowing his head he gave up his spirit.	30 When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished"; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
31 It was the Day of Preparation, and to avoid the bodies' remaining on the cross during the Sabbath --since that Sabbath was a day of special solemnity -- the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and thebodies taken away.	31 Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 Consequently the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with himand then of the other.	32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him;
33 When they came to Jesus, they saw he was already dead, and so instead of breaking his legs	33 but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
34 one of the soldiers pierced his side with a lance; and immediately there came out blood and water.	34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.
35 This is the evidence of one who saw it -- true evidence, and he knows that what he says is true -- andhe gives it so that you may believe as wel .	35 He who saw it has borne witness--his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth--that you also may believe.
36 Because al this happened to fulfil the words of scripture: Not one bone of his wil be broken;	36 For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him shall be broken."
37 and again, in another place scripture says: They wil look to the one whom they have pierced.	37 And again another scripture says, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced."
38 After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus -- though a secret one because he wasafraid of the Jews -- asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave permission, so they came andtook it away.	38 After this Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took away his body.
39 Nicodemus came as wel -- the same one who had first come to Jesus at night-time -- and he broughta mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about a hundred pounds.	39 Nicodemus also, who had at first come to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds' weight.
40 They took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, fol owing the Jewish burialcustom.	40 They took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
41 At the place where he had been crucified there was a garden, and in this garden a new tomb in whichno one had yet been buried.	41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb where no one had ever been laid.
42 Since it was the Jewish Day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.	42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
