The Gospel according toSt. John
St. John 19
1 |
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. | ||||
2 |
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, | ||||
3 |
and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. | ||||
4 |
Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. | ||||
5 |
Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! | ||||
6 |
When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. | ||||
7 |
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. | ||||
8 |
When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; | ||||
9 |
and went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. | ||||
10 |
Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? | ||||
11 |
Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. | ||||
12 |
¶ And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. | ||||
13 |
When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gab’batha. | ||||
14 |
And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! | ||||
15 |
But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. | ||||
16 |
Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. | ||||
The Crucifixion | |||||
Mt. 27.32-50 · Mk. 15.21-37 · Lk. 23.26-49 | |||||
17 |
¶ And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Gol’gotha: | ||||
18 |
where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. | ||||
19 |
And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. | ||||
20 |
This title then read many of the Jews; for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. | ||||
21 |
Then 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. | ||||
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, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. | ||||
24 |
They 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,
| ||||
These things therefore the soldiers did. | |||||
25 |
¶ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cle’ophas, and Mary Mag’dalene. | ||||
26 |
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! | ||||
27 |
Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. | ||||
28 |
¶ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. | ||||
29 |
Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. Ps. 69.21 | ||||
30 |
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. | ||||
Jesus’ Side Pierced | |||||
31 |
¶ The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was a high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. | ||||
32 |
Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. | ||||
33 |
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: | ||||
34 |
but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. | ||||
35 |
And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true; and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. | ||||
36 |
For these things were done, that the Scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. Ex. 12.46 · Num. 9.12 · Ps. 34.20 | ||||
37 |
And again another Scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. Zech. 12.10 · Rev. 1.7 | ||||
The Burial of Jesus | |||||
Mt. 27.57-61 · Mk. 15.42-47 · Lk. 23.50-56 | |||||
38 |
¶ And after this Joseph of Arimathe’a, 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. | ||||
39 |
And there came also Nicode’mus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, Joh. 3.1, 2 and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight. | ||||
40 |
Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. | ||||
41 |
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. | ||||
42 |
There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand. |
