John 19:9-28

⁹and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

¹⁰Pilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to me? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee?

¹¹Jesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he that has delivered me up to thee has the greater sin.

¹²From this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou releasest this man, thou art not a friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar.

¹³Pilate therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus out and sat down upon the judgment-seat, at a place called Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha;

¹⁴(now it was the preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour;) and he says to the Jews, Behold your king!

¹⁵But they cried out, Take him away, take him away, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

¹⁶Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.

¹⁷And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;

¹⁸where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on this side, and one on that, and Jesus in the middle.

¹⁹And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews.

²⁰This title therefore many of the Jews read, for the place of the city where Jesus was crucified was near; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin.

²¹The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but that he said, I am king of the Jews.

²²Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.

²³The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and the body-coat; but the body-coat was seamless, woven through the whole from the top.

²⁴They said therefore to one another, Let us not rend it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled which says, They parted my garments among themselves, and on my vesture they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did these things.

²⁵And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.

²⁶Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.

²⁷Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

²⁸After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.
