    Pilate keeps saying there is no basis for a charge against Jesus, tries to release Him, and then hands Him over to be crucified—a remarkably poor day for consistency.

    The judgment that keeps changing handsvv. 1–16

    Jesus is flogged, dressed as a king, and brought out beneath a crown of thorns. Pilate declares that he finds no basis for a charge, but the chief priests and officers demand crucifixion. When they warn that releasing Jesus would make Pilate no friend of Caesar, the judgment seat at Gabbatha does its brisk, grim work: Pilate hands Him over.

    A king, a cross, and a very firm noticevv. 17–37

    Jesus carries His own cross to Golgotha, where He is crucified between two others. Pilate posts a notice calling Him king of the Jews in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, and refuses the chief priests’ proposed correction with the wonderfully immovable sentence, “What I have written, I have written.” The soldiers divide His garments, while near the cross His mother, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene stand. Jesus gives His mother to the beloved disciple, says He is thirsty, and then yields up His spirit. Afterward, the soldiers spare His legs because He is already dead, but one pierces His side.

    The burial in the nearby gardenvv. 38–42

    Joseph of Arimathea, secretly a disciple, asks Pilate for Jesus’ body and removes it. Nicodemus arrives with about seventy-five pounds of myrrh and aloes, an astonishingly exact parcel for such a sombre errand. Together they wrap the body with the spices and place it in a new tomb in the garden near Golgotha, because the day of Preparation is nearly upon them.

    1. John 19:1Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.

    2. John 19:2The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.

    3. John 19:3And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.

    4. John 19:4Once again Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”

    5. John 19:5When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

    6. John 19:6As soon as the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” “You take Him and crucify Him,” Pilate replied, “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.”

    7. John 19:7“We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”

    8. John 19:8When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,

    9. John 19:9and he went back into the Praetorium. “Where are You from?” he asked. But Jesus gave no answer.

    10. John 19:10So Pilate said to Him, “Do You refuse to speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You and authority to crucify You?”

    11. John 19:11Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”

    12. John 19:12From then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who declares himself a king is defying Caesar.”

    13. John 19:13When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha.

    14. John 19:14It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, about the sixth hour. And Pilate said to the Jews, “Here is your King!”

    15. John 19:15At this, they shouted, “Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” “Shall I crucify your King?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” replied the chief priests.

    16. John 19:16Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified, and the soldiers took Him away.

    17. John 19:17Carrying His own cross, He went out to The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.

    18. John 19:18There they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.

    19. John 19:19Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

    20. John 19:20Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

    21. John 19:21So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but only that He said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”

    22. John 19:22Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

    23. John 19:23When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

    24. John 19:24So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.

    25. John 19:25Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother and her sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.

    26. John 19:26When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”

    27. John 19:27Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” So from that hour, this disciple took her into his home.

    28. John 19:28After this, knowing that everything had now been accomplished, and to fulfill the Scripture, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”

    29. John 19:29A jar of sour wine was sitting there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.

    30. John 19:30When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.

    31. John 19:31It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.

    32. John 19:32So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and those of the other.

    33. John 19:33But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

    34. John 19:34Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.

    35. John 19:35The one who saw it has testified to this, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.

    36. John 19:36Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”

    37. John 19:37And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”

    38. John 19:38Afterward, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed His body.

    39. John 19:39Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.

    40. John 19:40So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.

    41. John 19:41Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

    42. John 19:42And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus there.

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.

    Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
