John 19:1¹Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged severely.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:2²The soldiers braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they clothed him in a purple robe.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:3³They came up to him again and again and said, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they struck him repeatedly in the face.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:4⁴Again 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.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:5⁵So Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Look, here is the man!”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:6⁶When 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!”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:7⁷The 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!”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:8⁸When Pilate heard what they said, he was more afraid than ever,Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:9⁹and he went back into the governor’s residence and said to Jesus, “Where do you come from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:10¹⁰So Pilate said, “Do you refuse to speak to me? Don’t you know I have the authority to release you, and to crucify you?”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:11¹¹Jesus 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.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:12¹²From 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!”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:13¹³When 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).Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:14¹⁴(Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover, about noon. ) Pilate said to the Jewish leaders, “Look, here is your king!”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:15¹⁵Then 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!”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:16¹⁶Then Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus,Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:17¹⁷and carrying his own cross he went out to the place called “The Place of the Skull” (called in Aramaic Golgotha ).Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:18¹⁸There they crucified him along with two others, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:19¹⁹Pilate also had a notice written and fastened to the cross, which read: “Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:20²⁰Thus 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.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:21²¹Then 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.’”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:22²²Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:23²³Now when the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and made four shares, one for each soldier, and the tunic remained. (Now the tunic was seamless, woven from top to bottom as a single piece.)Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:24²⁴So the soldiers said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but throw dice to see who will get it.” This took place to fulfill the scripture that says, “They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they threw dice.” So the soldiers did these things.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:25²⁵Now standing beside Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:26²⁶So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, look, here is your son!”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:27²⁷He then said to his disciple, “Look, here is your mother!” From that very time the disciple took her into his own home.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:28²⁸After this Jesus, realizing that by this time everything was completed, said (in order to fulfill the scripture), “I am thirsty!”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:29²⁹A jar full of sour wine was there, so they put a sponge soaked in sour wine on a branch of hyssop and lifted it to his mouth.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:30³⁰When he had received the sour wine, Jesus said, “It is completed!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:31³¹Then, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies should not stay on the crosses on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was an especially important one), the Jewish leaders asked Pilate to have the victims’ legs broken and the bodies taken down.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:32³²So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men who had been crucified with Jesus, first the one and then the other.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:33³³But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:34³⁴But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and blood and water flowed out immediately.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:35³⁵And the person who saw it has testified (and his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth), so that you also may believe.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:36³⁶For these things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled, “Not a bone of his will be broken.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:37³⁷And again another scripture says, “They will look on the one whom they have pierced.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:38³⁸After this, Joseph of Arimathea, a disciple of Jesus (but secretly, because he feared the Jewish leaders ), asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he went and took the body away.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:39³⁹Nicodemus, the man who had previously come to Jesus at night, accompanied Joseph, carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about seventy-five pounds.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:40⁴⁰Then they took Jesus’ body and wrapped it, with the aromatic spices, in strips of linen cloth according to Jewish burial customs.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:41⁴¹Now at the place where Jesus was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb where no one had yet been buried.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

John 19:42⁴²And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus’ body there.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s
