The Good News According to Yochanan, Chapter 19
{19:1} So Pilate then took Yeshua, and flogged him. {19:2} The
soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and
dressed him in a purple garment. {19:3} They kept saying, "Hail, King
of the Yehudim!" and they kept slapping him.
{19:4} Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I
bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a
charge against him."
{19:5} Yeshua therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and
the purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Behold, the man!"
{19:6} When therefore the chief [1>]Kohanim[<1] and the officers saw
him, they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify!"
Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I
find no basis for a charge against him."
{19:7} The Yehudim 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 therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.
{19:9} He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Yeshua,
"Where are you from?" But Yeshua gave him no answer. {19:10} Pilate
therefore said to him, "Aren't you speaking to me? Don't you know that
I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?"
{19:11} Yeshua answered, "You would have no power at all against me,
unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me
to you has greater sin."
{19:12} At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Yehudim
cried out, saying, "If you release this man, you aren't Caesar's
friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!"
{19:13} When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Yeshua
out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called "The
Pavement," but in Hebrew, "Gabta." {19:14} Now it was the Preparation
Day of the Pesach, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Yehudim,
"Behold, your King!"
{19:15} They cried out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!"
Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?"
The chief [2>]Kohanim[<2] answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"
{19:16} So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they
took Yeshua and led him away. {19:17} He went out, bearing his cross,
to the place called "The Place of a Skull," which is called in Hebrew,
"Gulgolta," {19:18} where they crucified him, and with him two others,
on either side one, and Yeshua in the middle. {19:19} Pilate wrote a
title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "YESHUA OF
NATZERET, THE KING OF THE YEHUDIM." {19:20} Therefore many of the
Yehudim read this title, for the place where Yeshua was crucified was
near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Yevanit.
{19:21} The chief [3>]Kohanim[<3] of the Yehudim therefore said to
Pilate, "Don't write, 'The King of the Yehudim,' but, 'he said, I am
King of the Yehudim.'"
{19:22} Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
{19:23} Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Yeshua, took his
garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the
coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
{19:24} Then they said to one another, "Let's not tear it, but cast
lots for it to decide whose it will be," that the Scripture might be
fulfilled, which says,
"They parted my garments among them.
For my cloak they cast lots."
Therefore the soldiers did these things. {19:25} But there were
standing by the cross of Yeshua his mother, and his mother's sister,
Miryam the wife of Klofah, and Miryam from Magdala. {19:26} Therefore
when Yeshua saw his mother, and the [4>]talmid[<4] whom he loved
standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold your son!"
{19:27} Then he said to the [5>]talmid[<5], "Behold, your mother!"
From that hour, the [6>]talmid[<6] took her to his own home.
{19:28} After this, Yeshua, seeing that all things were now
finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty."
{19:29} Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a
sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.
{19:30} When Yeshua therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It
is finished." He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.
{19:31} Therefore the Yehudim, because it was the Preparation Day,
so that the bodies wouldn't remain on the cross on the Shabbat (for
that Shabbat was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might
be broken, and that they might be taken away. {19:32} Therefore the
soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who
was crucified with him; {19:33} but when they came to Yeshua, and saw
that he was already dead, they didn't break his legs. {19:34} However
one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately
blood and water came out. {19:35} He who has seen has testified, and
his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may
believe. {19:36} For these things happened, that the Scripture might
be fulfilled, "A bone of him will not be broken." {19:37} Again
another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they pierced."
{19:38} After these things, Yosef of Ramatayim, being a
[7>]talmid[<7] of Yeshua, but secretly for fear of the Yehudim, asked
of Pilate that he might take away Yeshua#s body. Pilate gave him
permission. He came therefore and took away his body. {19:39}
Nakdimon, who at first came to Yeshua by night, also came bringing a
mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds. {19:40} So
they took Yeshua#s body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices,
as the custom of the Yehudim is to bury. {19:41} Now in the place
where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden a new tomb in
which no man had ever yet been laid. {19:42} Then because of the
Yehudim' Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid
Yeshua there.
