## Jesus Flogged and Rejected as King
###### 1
Pilate then took Jesus and flogged Him.
###### 2
And when the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him;
###### 3
and they were coming to Him and saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and were giving Him slaps _in the face_.
###### 4
And Pilate came out again and *said to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him."
###### 5
Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. _Pilate_ *said to them, "Behold, the man!"
###### 6
So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out saying, "Crucify, crucify!" Pilate *said to them, "Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him."
###### 7
The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He made Himself out _to be_ the Son of God."
###### 8
Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he became more afraid;
###### 9
and he entered into the Praetorium again and *said to Jesus, "Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
###### 10
So Pilate *said to Him, "You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?"
###### 11
Jesus answered, **"You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has _the_ greater sin."**
###### 12
As a result of this Pilate kept seeking to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, "If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself _to be_ a king opposes Caesar."
###### 13
Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
###### 14
Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he *said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"
###### 15
So 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."
## The Crucifixion
###### 16
So he then delivered Him over to them to be crucified.
###### 17
They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.
###### 18
There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between.
###### 19
And Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, "JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
###### 20
Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, _and_ in Greek.
###### 21
So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews;' but that He said, 'I am King of the Jews.'"
###### 22
Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written."
###### 23
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, a part to each soldier and _also_ His tunic; now that tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top.
###### 24
So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, _to decide_ whose it shall be;" _this was_ in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled: "They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots."
###### 25
Therefore the soldiers did these things. But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the _wife_ of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
###### 26
When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He *said to His mother, **"Woman, behold, your son!"**
###### 27
Then He *said to the disciple, **"Behold, your mother!"** From that hour the disciple took her into his _home_.
## Scripture Fulfilled--It Is Finished
###### 28
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been finished, in order to finish the Scripture, *said, **"I am thirsty."**
###### 29
A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon _a branch of_ hyssop and brought it up to His mouth.
###### 30
Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, **"It is finished!"** And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
###### 31
Then the Jews, because it was the day of Preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and _that_ they might be taken away.
###### 32
So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with Him;
###### 33
but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
###### 34
But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
###### 35
And he who has seen has borne witness, and his witness is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
###### 36
For these things came to pass in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled, "Not a bone of Him shall be broken."
###### 37
And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they pierced."
## Jesus Is Buried
###### 38
Now after these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because of his fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.
###### 39
And Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, _weighing_ about one hundred litras.
###### 40
So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
###### 41
Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
###### 42
Therefore because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
