Jesus Is Crucified at Golgotha; Burial in Tomb of Joseph

Soldiers Mock Jesus-Crown of Thorns

• 1. THEN Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged him.
  
  • Greek
    • Τότε οὖν ἔλαβεν ὁ Πιλᾶτος τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ ἐμαστίγωσεν
• 2. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put n him a purple robe,
  
  • Greek
    • καὶ οἱ στρατιῶται πλέξαντες στέφανον ἐξ ἀκανθῶν ἐπέθηκαν αὐτοῦ τῇ κεφαλῇ καὶ ἱμάτιον πορφυροῦν περιέβαλον αὐτόν
• 3. And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
  
  • Greek
    • καὶ ἔλεγον Χαῖρε ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων· καὶ ἐδίδουν αὐτῷ ῥαπίσματα
• 4. Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye my know that I find no fault in him.
  
  • Greek
    • ἐξῆλθεν οὖν πάλιν ἔξω ὁ Πιλᾶτος Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς Ἴδε ἄγω ὑμῖν αὐτὸν ἔξω ἵνα γνῶτε ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ οὐδεμίαν αἰτίαν εὑρίσκω
• 5. The came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
  
  • Greek
    • ἐξῆλθεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἔξω φορῶν τὸν ἀκάνθινον στέφανον καὶ τὸ πορφυροῦν ἱμάτιον καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς Ἴδε ὁ ἄνθρωπος
• 6. When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
  
  • Greek
    • ὅτε οὖν εἶδον αὐτὸν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ ὑπηρέται ἐκραύγασαν λέγοντες Σταύρωσον σταύρωσον λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλᾶτος Λάβετε αὐτὸν ὑμεῖς καὶ σταυρώσατε· ἐγὼ γὰρ οὐχ εὑρίσκω ἐν αὐτῷ αἰτίαν
• 7. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
  
  • Greek
    • ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι Ἡμεῖς νόμον ἔχομεν· καὶ κατὰ τὸν νόμον ἡμῶν ὀφείλει ἀποθανεῖν ὅτι ἑαυτὸν υἱὸν θεοῦ ἐποίησεν

Pilate Learns the Charge against Jesus

• 8. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
  
  • Greek
    • Ὅτε οὖν ἤκουσεν ὁ Πιλᾶτος τοῦτον τὸν λόγον μᾶλλον ἐφοβήθη
• 9. And went again into the judgement hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
  
  • Greek
    • καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ πραιτώριον πάλιν καὶ λέγει τῷ Ἰησοῦ Πόθεν εἶ σύ ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀπόκρισιν οὐκ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ
• 10. Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
  
  • Greek
    • λέγει οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ Πιλᾶτος Ἐμοὶ οὐ λαλεῖς οὐκ οἶδας ὅτι ἐξουσίαν ἔχω σταυρῶσαί σε καὶ ἐξουσίαν ἔχω ἀπολῦσαί σε
• 11. Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
  
  • Greek
    • ἀπεκρίθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς Οὐκ εἶχες ἐξουσίαν οὐδεμίαν κατ᾽ ἐμοῦ εἰ μὴ ἦν σοι δεδομένον ἄνωθεν· διὰ τοῦτο ὁ παραδιδούς μέ σοι μείζονα ἁμαρτίαν ἔχει
• 12. And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying: If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
  
  • Greek
    • ἐκ τούτου ἐζήτει ὁ Πιλᾶτος ἀπολῦσαι αὐτόν· οἱ δὲ Ἰουδαῖοι ἔκραζον λέγοντες Ἐὰν τοῦτον ἀπολύσῃς οὐκ εἶ φίλος τοῦ Καίσαρος· πᾶς ὁ βασιλέα αὐτόν ποιῶν ἀντιλέγει τῷ Καίσαρι

The Denial of Jesus as King by the Jews

• 13. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
  
  • Greek
    • Ὁ οὖν Πιλᾶτος ἀκούσας τοῦτον τὸν λογὸν, ἤγαγεν ἔξω τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος εἰς τόπον λεγόμενον Λιθόστρωτον Ἑβραϊστὶ δὲ Γαββαθα
• 14. And it was the preparatoin of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
  
  • Greek
    • ἦν δὲ παρασκευὴ τοῦ πάσχα ὥρα δὲ ὡσεὶ ἕκτη καὶ λέγει τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις Ἴδε ὁ βασιλεὺς ὑμῶν
• 15. But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
  
  • Greek
    • οἱ δὲ ἐκραύγασαν Ἆρον ἆρον σταύρωσον αὐτόν λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλᾶτος Τὸν βασιλέα ὑμῶν σταυρώσω ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς Οὐκ ἔχομεν βασιλέα εἰ μὴ Καίσαρα
• 16.↓ Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
  
  • Greek
    • τότε οὖν παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν αὐτοῖς ἵνα σταυρωθῇ Παρέλαβον δὲ τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ ἀπήγαγον·

• 17. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
  
  • Greek
    • καὶ βαστάζων τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὸν λεγόμενον Κρανίου Τόπον ὃς λέγεται Ἑβραϊστὶ Γολγοθα
• 18. Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one,and Jesus in the midst.
  
  • Greek
    • ὅπου αὐτὸν ἐσταύρωσαν καὶ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἄλλους δύο ἐντεῦθεν καὶ ἐντεῦθεν μέσον δὲ τὸν Ἰησοῦν

Pilate Places Title on the Cross of Jesus

• 19. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
  
  • Greek
    • ἔγραψεν δὲ καὶ τίτλον ὁ Πιλᾶτος καὶ ἔθηκεν ἐπὶ τοῦ σταυροῦ· ἦν δὲ γεγραμμένον· Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων
• 20. This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
  
  • Greek
    • τοῦτον οὖν τὸν τίτλον πολλοὶ ἀνέγνωσαν τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὅτι ἐγγὺς ἦν τῆς πόλεως ὁ τόπος ὅπου ἐσταυρώθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς· καὶ ἦν γεγραμμένον Ἑβραϊστί Ἑλληνιστί Ῥωμαϊστί
• 21. Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
  
  • Greek
    • ἔλεγον οὖν τῷ Πιλάτῳ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς τῶν Ἰουδαίων Μὴ γράφε· Ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἀλλ᾽ ὅτι ἐκεῖνος εἶπεν Βασιλεύς εἰμι τῶν Ἰουδαίων
• 22.↓↓ Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
  
  • Greek
    • ἀπεκρίθη ὁ Πιλᾶτος Ὃ γέγραφα γέγραφα
  • Notes
    • ° Remarkable that Pilate could write in three languages, but why were the Jews so upset?

Soldiers Cast Lots for Jesus' Garment

• 23. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
  
  • Greek
    • Οἱ οὖν στρατιῶται ὅτε ἐσταύρωσαν τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἔλαβον τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐποίησαν τέσσαρα μέρη ἑκάστῳ στρατιώτῃ μέρος καὶ τὸν χιτῶνα ἦν δὲ ὁ χιτὼν ἄρραφος, ἐκ τῶν ἄνωθεν ὑφαντὸς δι᾽ ὅλου
• 24. They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots, These things therefore the soldiers did.
  
  • Greek
    • εἶπον οὖν πρὸς ἀλλήλους Μὴ σχίσωμεν αὐτόν ἀλλὰ λάχωμεν περὶ αὐτοῦ τίνος ἔσται· ἵνα ἡ γραφὴ πληρωθῇ ἡ λέγουσα· Διεμερίσαντο τὰ ἱμάτιά μου ἑαυτοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ἱματισμόν μου ἔβαλον κλῆρον Οἱ μὲν οὖν στρατιῶται ταῦτα ἐποίησαν

Jesus Entrusts His Mother to Disciples

• 25. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.
  
  • Greek
    • εἱστήκεισαν δὲ παρὰ τῷ σταυρῷ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ ἀδελφὴ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Κλωπᾶ καὶ Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνή
• 26. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
  
  • Greek
    • Ἰησοῦς οὖν ἰδὼν τὴν μητέρα καὶ τὸν μαθητὴν παρεστῶτα ὃν ἠγάπα λέγει τῇ μητρί αὐτοῦ, Γύναι ἰδοῦ ὁ υἱός σου
• 27. Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
  
  • Greek
    • εἶτα λέγει τῷ μαθητῇ Ἰδού, ἡ μήτηρ σου καὶ ἀπ᾽ ἐκείνης τῆς ὥρας ἔλαβεν αὐτὴν ὁ μαθητὴς εἰς τὰ ἴδια

The Death of Jesus

• 28. After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
  
  • Greek
    • Μετὰ τοῦτο εἰδὼς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι πάντα ἤδη τετέλεσται ἵνα τελειωθῇ ἡ γραφή λέγει Διψῶ
• 29. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
  
  • Greek
    • σκεῦος οὖν ἔκειτο ὄξους μεστόν· οἱ δὲ, πλήσαντες σπόγγον ὄξους καὶ ὑσσώπῳ περιθέντες προσήνεγκαν αὐτοῦ τῷ στόματι
• 30. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
  
  • Greek
    • ὅτε οὖν ἔλαβεν τὸ ὄξος ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν Τετέλεσται καὶ κλίνας τὴν κεφαλὴν παρέδωκεν τὸ πνεῦμα

Jesus' Side Is Pierced

• 31. The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.
  
  • Greek
    • Οἱ οὖν Ἰουδαῖοι ἵνα μὴ μείνῃ ἐπὶ τοῦ σταυροῦ τὰ σώματα ἐν τῷ σαββάτῳ ἐπεὶ παρασκευὴ ἦν ἦν γὰρ μεγάλη ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνου τοῦ σαββάτου ἠρώτησαν τὸν Πιλᾶτον ἵνα κατεαγῶσιν αὐτῶν τὰ σκέλη καὶ ἀρθῶσιν
• 32. Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
  
  • Greek
    • ἦλθον οὖν οἱ στρατιῶται καὶ τοῦ μὲν πρώτου κατέαξαν τὰ σκέλη καὶ τοῦ ἄλλου τοῦ συσταυρωθέντος αὐτῷ·
• 33. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
  
  • Greek
    • ἐπὶ δὲ τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐλθόντες ὡς εἶδον αὐτὸν ἤδη τεθνηκότα οὐ κατέαξαν αὐτοῦ τὰ σκέλη
• 34. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
  
  • Greek
    • ἀλλ᾽ εἷς τῶν στρατιωτῶν λόγχῃ αὐτοῦ τὴν πλευρὰν ἔνυξεν καὶ εὐθὺς ἐξῆλθεν αἷμα καὶ ὕδωρ
• 35. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, the ye might believe.
  
  • Greek
    • καὶ ὁ ἑωρακὼς μεμαρτύρηκεν καὶ ἀληθινὴ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν ἡ μαρτυρία κἀκεῖνος οἶδεν ὅτι ἀληθῆ λέγει ἵνα ὑμεῖς πιστεύσητε
• 36. For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
  
  • Greek
    • ἐγένετο γὰρ ταῦτα ἵνα ἡ γραφὴ πληρωθῇ Ὀστοῦν οὐ συντριβήσεται αὐτοῦ
• 37. And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
  
  • Greek
    • καὶ πάλιν ἑτέρα γραφὴ λέγει Ὄψονται εἰς ὃν ἐξεκέντησαν

The Burial of Jesus

• 38. And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
  
  • Greek
    • Μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἠρώτησεν τὸν Πιλᾶτον ὁ Ἰωσὴφ ὁ ἀπὸ Ἁριμαθαίας ὢν μαθητὴς τοῦ Ἰησοῦ κεκρυμμένος δὲ διὰ τὸν φόβον τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἵνα ἄρῃ τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ· καὶ ἐπέτρεψεν ὁ Πιλᾶτος ἦλθεν οὖν καὶ ἦρεν τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ
• 39. And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrhh and aloes about an hundred pound weight.
  
  • Greek
    • ἦλθεν δὲ καὶ Νικόδημος ὁ ἐλθὼν πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν νυκτὸς τὸ πρῶτον φέρων μίγμα σμύρνης καὶ ἀλόης ὡσεὶ λίτρας ἑκατόν
• 40. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
  
  • Greek
    • ἔλαβον οὖν τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ καὶ ἔδησαν αὐτὸ ὀθονίοις μετὰ τῶν ἀρωμάτων καθὼς ἔθος ἐστὶν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις ἐνταφιάζειν
• 41. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
  
  • Greek
    • ἦν δὲ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ὅπου ἐσταυρώθη κῆπος καὶ ἐν τῷ κήπῳ μνημεῖον καινὸν ἐν ᾧ οὐδέπω οὐδεὶς ἐτέθη
• 42. There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
  
  • Greek
    • ἐκεῖ οὖν διὰ τὴν παρασκευὴν τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὅτι ἐγγὺς ἦν τὸ μνημεῖον ἔθηκαν τὸν Ἰησοῦν
