John 19 - UPDV Updated Bible Version

^19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
^19:2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment;
^19:3 and they came to him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! And they struck him with their hands.
^19:4 And Pilate went out again, and says to them, Look, I bring him out to you⁺, that you⁺ may know that I find no crime in him.
^19:5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And [Pilate] says to them, Look, the man!
^19:6 When therefore the chief priests and the attendants saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify [him], crucify [him]! Pilate says to them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him.
^19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
^19:8 When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid;
^19:9 and he entered into the Praetorium again, and says to Jesus, Where are you from? But Jesus gave him no answer.
^19:10 Pilate therefore says to him, Don't you speak to me? Don't you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?
^19:11 Jesus answered him, You would have no power against me, except it were given you from above: therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.
^19:12 On this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend: everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.
^19:13 When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
^19:14 Now it was the Preparation of the Passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, Look, your⁺ King!
^19:15 They therefore cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify him! Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your⁺ King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
^19:16 Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. They took Jesus therefore:
^19:17 and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha:
^19:18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, [one] on each side, and between them [was] Jesus.
^19:19 And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
^19:20 This title therefore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, [and] in Latin, [and] in Greek.
^19:21 The 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.
^19:22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
^19:23 The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
^19:24 They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it will be: that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, And on my vesture they cast lots.
^19:25 These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
^19:26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he says to his mother, Woman, here is your son.
^19:27 Then he says to the disciple, Here is your mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own [home].
^19:28 After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the Scripture might be accomplished, says, I thirst.
^19:29 There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and brought it to his mouth.
^19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and delivered up his spirit.
^19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not stay on the cross on the Sabbath (for the day of that Sabbath was a high [day]), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.
^19:32 The soldiers therefore came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him:
^19:33 but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they did not break his legs:
^19:34 nevertheless one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.
^19:35 And he who has seen has borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knows that he says true, that you⁺ also may believe.
