Description
First half of John 19
John
19
1
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged severely.
2
The soldiers braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they clothed him in a purple robe.
3
They came up to him again and again and said, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And they struck him repeatedly in the face.
4
Again Pilate went out and said to the Jewish leaders, "Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no reason for an accusation against him."
5
So Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Look, here is the man!"
6
When the chief priests and their officers saw him, they shouted out, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" Pilate said, "You take him and crucify him! Certainly I find no reason for an accusation against him!"
7
The Jewish leaders replied, "We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son of God!"
8
When Pilate heard what they said, he was more afraid than ever,
9
and he went back into the governor's residence and said to Jesus, "Where do you come from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
10
So Pilate said, "Do you refuse to speak to me? Don't you know I have the authority to release you, and to crucify you?"
11
Jesus replied, "You would have no authority over me at all, unless it was given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of greater sin."
12
From this point on, Pilate tried to release him. But the Jewish leaders shouted out, "If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar! Everyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar!"
13
When Pilate heard these words he brought Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat in the place called "The Stone Pavement" (Gabbatha in Aramaic).
14
(Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover, about noon.) Pilate said to the Jewish leaders, "Look, here is your king!"
15
Then they shouted out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" Pilate asked, "Shall I crucify your king?" The high priests replied, "We have no king except Caesar!"
16
Then Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus,
17
and carrying his own cross he went out to the place called "The Place of the Skull" (called in Aramaic Golgotha).
18
There they crucified him along with two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
19
Pilate also had a notice written and fastened to the cross, which read: "Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews."
20
Thus many of the Jewish residents of Jerusalem read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the notice was written in Aramaic, Latin, and Greek.
21
Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The king of the Jews,' but rather, 'This man said, I am king of the Jews.'"
22
Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
