The Crown of Thorns

(Mat 27:27–31; Mar 15:16–20 )

Jhn 19:1

Jhn 19:1Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

Jhn 19:2

Jhn 19:2And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

Jhn 19:3

Jhn 19:3And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

Jhn 19:4

Jhn 19:4Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith to them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.

Jhn 19:5

Jhn 19:5Then Jesus came forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith to them, Behold the man!

Jhn 19:6

Jhn 19:6When therefore the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith to them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.

Jhn 19:7

Jhn 19:7The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

Jhn 19:8

Jhn 19:8When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;

Jhn 19:9

Jhn 19:9And went again into the judgment-hall, and saith to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

Jhn 19:10

Jhn 19:10Then saith Pilate to him, Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not, that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

Jhn 19:11

Jhn 19:11Jesus answered, Thou couldst have no power against me; except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me to thee hath the greater sin.

Jhn 19:12

Jhn 19:12And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Cesar's friend. Whoever maketh himself a king, speaketh against Cesar.

Jhn 19:13

Jhn 19:13When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down on the judgment-seat, in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

Jhn 19:14

Jhn 19:14And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith to the Jews, Behold your King!

Jhn 19:15

Jhn 19:15But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cesar.

The Crucifixion

Jhn 19:16

Jhn 19:16Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

(Mat 27:32–56; Mar 15:21–41; Luk 23:26–49 )

Jhn 19:17

Jhn 19:17And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha:

Jhn 19:18

Jhn 19:18Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on each side one, and Jesus in the midst.

Jhn 19:19

Jhn 19:19And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Jhn 19:20

Jhn 19:20Many of the Jews then read this title: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

Jhn 19:21

Jhn 19:21Then 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.

Jhn 19:22

Jhn 19:22Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.

Jhn 19:23

Jhn 19:23Then 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.

Jhn 19:24

Jhn 19:24They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

Jhn 19:25

Jhn 19:25Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

Jhn 19:26

Jhn 19:26When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

Jhn 19:27

Jhn 19:27Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.

Jhn 19:28

Jhn 19:28After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

Jhn 19:29

Jhn 19:29Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

Jhn 19:30

Jhn 19:30When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and expired.

Care of the Body of Jesus

Jhn 19:31

Jhn 19:31The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath, (for that sabbath was a great day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

Jhn 19:32

Jhn 19:32Then came the soldiers, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him.

Jhn 19:33

Jhn 19:33But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they broke not his legs:

Jhn 19:34

Jhn 19:34But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came out blood and water.

Jhn 19:35

Jhn 19:35And he that saw it, testified, and his testimony is true: and he knoweth that he speaketh truth, that ye may believe.

Jhn 19:36

Jhn 19:36For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

Jhn 19:37

Jhn 19:37And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

(Mat 27:57–61; Mar 15:42–47; Luk 23:50–56 )

Jhn 19:38

Jhn 19:38And after this, Joseph of Arimathea (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 leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus.

Jhn 19:39

Jhn 19:39And 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.

Jhn 19:40

Jhn 19:40Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.

Jhn 19:41

Jhn 19:41Now 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.

Jhn 19:42

Jhn 19:42There they laid Jesus therefore, because of the Jews' preparation-day, for the sepulcher was nigh at hand.
