John 19:19-41

¹⁹And Pilate wrote a title, and set or put on the cross; and it was written, Jesus of Nazareth, king of Jews.

²⁰Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified, was nigh the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

²¹Therefore the bishops of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not thou write king of Jews, but that he said, I am king of Jews.

²²Pilate answered, That that I have written, I have written.

²³Therefore the knights when they had crucified him, took his clothes, and made four parts, to each knight a part, and a coat. And the coat was without seam, and woven all about.

²⁴Therefore they said together, Cut we not it, but cast we lot, whose it is; that the scripture be fulfilled, saying, They parted my clothes to them, and on my cloth they cast lot. And the knights did these things.

²⁵But beside the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

²⁶Therefore when Jesus had seen his mother, and the disciple standing, whom he loved, he saith to his mother, Woman, lo! thy son.

²⁷Afterward he saith to the disciple, Lo! thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her into his mother.

²⁸Afterward Jesus witting, that now all things be ended, that the scripture were fulfilled, he saith, I thirst.

²⁹And a vessel was set full of vinegar or eisell. And they laid in hyssop about the sponge full of vinegar, and put to his mouth./And they took a sponge full of eisell, putting it about with hyssop, and proffered it to his mouth.

³⁰Therefore when Jesus had taken the vinegar, he said, It is ended. And when his head was bowed down, he gave up the ghost./And when Jesus had tasted this eisell, he said, It is ended. And he bowed down the head, and sent out the spirit.

³¹Therefore for it was the pask eve, that the bodies should not abide or dwell on the cross in the sabbath, for that was a great sabbath day, the Jews prayed Pilate, that the hips of them should be broken, and they should be taken away.

³²Therefore knights came, and they brake the thighs of the first, and of the other, that was crucified with him.

³³But when they were come or had come to Jesus, as they saw him dead then, they brake not his thighs;

³⁴but one of the knights opened his side with a spear, and anon blood and water went out.

³⁵And he that saw, bare witnessing thereof, and his witnessing is true; and he knoweth that he saith true things, that ye believe.

³⁶And these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, Ye shall not break a bone of him.

³⁷And again another scripture saith, They shall see in whom they pierced through.

³⁸But after these things Joseph of Arimathaea prayed Pilate, that he should take away the body of Jesus, for that he was a disciple of Jesus, but privily for dread of the Jews. And Pilate suffered. And so he came, and took away the body of Jesus.

³⁹And Nicodemus came also, that had come to him first by night, or that had come to Jesus first in the night, and brought a meddling of myrrh and aloes, as it were an hundred pound.

⁴⁰And they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen clothes with sweet smelling ointments or spices, as it is custom to Jews for to bury.

⁴¹And in the place where he was crucified, was a garden, and in the garden a new grave, in which yet no man was laid or put.
