16So he handed Jesus over to them to be crucified.
17They led Jesus away, who carried his own cross, and went out to the “Place of the Skull,” (Golgotha in Hebrew).
18They crucified him there, and two others with him: one on either side, with Jesus between them.
19Pilate had a notice made and placed on the cross which said, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”
20Many people read the notice because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
21Then the chief priests came to Pilate and asked him, “Don't write ‘the King of the Jews,’ but ‘This man said I am the King of the Jews.’”
22Pilate replied, “What I have written I have written.”
23When the soldiers had crucified Jesus they took his clothes and divided them in four so that each soldier had his share. There was also his robe, made without seams, woven in one piece.
24So they said to each other, “Let's not tear it, but let's decide who will have it by rolling dice.” This fulfilled the Scripture that says, “They divided my garments among them and rolled dice for my clothing.”
25So that is what the soldiers did. Standing near the cross was Jesus' mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
26When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, “Mother, this is your son.”
27Then he said to the disciple, “This is your mother.” From then on the disciple took her into his home.
28Jesus now realized that he had finished all that he had come to do. In fulfillment of Scripture, he said, “I'm thirsty.”
29A jar of wine vinegar was standing there, so they soaked a sponge in the vinegar, put it on a hyssop stick, and held it to his lips.
30After he'd had the vinegar, Jesus said, “It's finished!” Then he bowed his head and breathed his last.
31It was preparation day, and the Jewish leaders didn't want to leave the bodies on the crosses during the Sabbath day (in fact this was a special Sabbath), so they asked Pilate to break the legs, so that the bodies could be removed.
32So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first one and then the other of those crucified with Jesus,
33but when they came to Jesus they saw he was already dead, so they didn't break his legs.
34However, one of the soldiers stuck a spear into his side, and blood mixed with water came out.
35The one who saw this has given this evidence, and his evidence is true. He's certain that what he says is true so you can believe it too.
36It happened like this so Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,”
37and as another Scripture says, “They will look at the one they pierced.”
38After this Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate if he could take down the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave his permission. Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but in secret because he feared the Jews. So Joseph came and took the body away.
39He was joined by Nicodemus, the man who had first visited Jesus at night. He brought with him a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about seventy-five pounds.
