1 So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him. 2 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment. 3 They kept saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and they kept slapping him.

4 Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him."

5 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Behold, the man!"

6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify!"

Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him."

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."

8 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid. 9 He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Pilate therefore said to him, "Aren’t you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you and have power to crucify you?"

11 Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin."

12 At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!"

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." 14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"

15 They cried out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!"

Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?"

The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"

16 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away. 17 He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called "The Place of a Skull", which is called in Hebrew, "Golgotha", 18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle. 19 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS." 20 Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, "Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, "I am King of the Jews."’"

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

23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 24 Then they said to one another, "Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says,

"They parted my garments among them.

They cast lots for my clothing."

Therefore the soldiers did these things.

25 But standing by Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" 27 Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

28 After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty!" 29 Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth. 30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished!" Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

31 Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. 32 Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with him; 33 but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs. 34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35 He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe. 36 For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him will not be broken." 37 Again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they pierced."

38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body. 39 Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds. 40 So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid. 42 Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there.

1 Toe neem Pilatus dan vir Jesus en laat Hom g,sel.

2 En die soldate het 'n kroon van dorings gevleg en dit op sy hoof gesit, en 'n purper kleed om Hom gewerp

3 en gesê: Wees gegroet, Koning van die Jode! En hulle het Hom in die aangesig geslaan.

4 Pilatus gaan toe weer buitentoe en sê vir hulle: Kyk, ek bring Hom vir julle uit buitentoe, sodat julle kan weet dat ek in Hom geen skuld vind nie.

5 En Jesus het uitgekom buitentoe en die doringkroon en die purperkleed gedra. En Pilatus sê vir hulle: D r is die mens!

6 En toe die owerpriesters en die dienaars Hom sien, skreeu hulle en sê: Kruisig, kruisig Hom! Pilatus sê vir hulle: Neem julle Hom en kruisig Hom, want ek vind geen skuld in Hom nie.

7 Die Jode antwoord hom: Ons het 'n wet en volgens ons wet moet Hy sterf, omdat Hy Homself die Seun van God gemaak het.

8 En toe Pilatus hierdie woord hoor, het hy nog meer bevrees geword

9 en weer in die paleis ingegaan en vir Jesus gesê: Van waar is U? Maar Jesus het hom geen antwoord gegee nie.

10 En Pilatus sê vir Hom: Praat U nie met my nie? Weet U nie dat ek mag het om U te kruisig en mag het om U los te laat nie?

11 Jesus antwoord: U sou geen mag teen My hê as dit u nie van bo gegee was nie. Daarom het hy wat My aan u oorlewer, groter sonde.

12 Hierop het Pilatus probeer om Hom los te laat, maar die Jode het geskreeu en gesê: As u Hom loslaat, is u nie die keiser se vriend nie. Elkeen wat homself koning maak, kom in verset teen die keiser.

13 En toe Pilatus hierdie woord hoor, het hy Jesus buitentoe gebring en op die regterstoel gaan sit in die plek wat Plaveisel genoem word, en in Hebreeus G bbata.

14 En dit was die voorbereiding vir die pasga en omtrent die sesde uur. Toe sê hy vir die Jode: D r is julle Koning!

15 Maar hulle skreeu: Neem weg, neem weg, kruisig Hom! Pilatus sê vir hulle: Moet ek julle Koning kruisig? Die owerpriesters antwoord: Ons het geen koning behalwe die keiser nie.

16 Toe het hy Hom dan aan hulle oorgegee om gekruisig te word. En hulle het Jesus geneem en Hom weggelei.

17 En Hy het sy kruis gedra en uitgegaan na die sogenaamde Hoofskedelplek, in Hebreeus Golgota,

18 waar hulle Hom gekruisig het en saam met Hom twee ander, een aan elke kant, en Jesus in die middel.

19 En Pilatus het ook 'n opskrif geskrywe en dit op die kruis gesit; en daar was geskrywe: JESUS, DIE NASARNER, DIE KONING VAN DIE JODE.

20 Hierdie opskrif dan het baie van die Jode gelees, omdat die plek waar Jesus gekruisig is, naby die stad was; en dit was geskrywe in Hebreeus en Grieks en Latyn.

21 En die owerpriesters van die Jode het vir Pilatus gesê: Moenie skrywe: Die Koning van die Jode nie; maar dat Hy gesê het: Ek is die Koning van die Jode.

22 Pilatus het geantwoord: Wat ek geskryf het, het ek geskrywe.

23 En toe die soldate Jesus gekruisig het, neem hulle sy klere en maak vier dele, vir elke soldaat 'n deel, en die onderkleed; maar die onderkleed was sonder naat, van bo af in een stuk gewewe.

24 En hulle het vir mekaar gesê: Laat ons dit nie skeur nie, maar laat ons die lot daaroor werp, wie s'n dit sal wees -- sodat die Skrif vervul sou word wat sê: Hulle het my klere onder mekaar verdeel en oor my gewaad het hulle die lot gewerp. Dit het die soldate dan gedoen.

25 En by die kruis van Jesus het gestaan sy moeder en sy moeder se suster, Maria, die vrou van Klopas, en Maria Magdal,na.

26 En toe Jesus sy moeder sien en die dissipel wat Hy liefgehad het, by haar staan, sê Hy vir sy moeder: Vrou, d r is u seun!

27 Daarop sê Hy vir die dissipel: D r is jou moeder! En van daardie uur af het die dissipel haar in sy huis geneem.

28 Hierna, omdat Hy geweet het dat alles al volbring was -- sodat die Skrif vervul sou word -- het Jesus gesê: Ek het dors!

29 En daar het 'n kan vol asyn gestaan; en hulle het 'n spons met asyn gevul en op 'n hisopstingel gesit en aan sy mond gebring.

30 En toe Jesus die asyn geneem het, sê Hy: Dit is volbring! En Hy het sy hoof gebuig en die gees gegee.

31 En dat die liggame nie op die sabbat aan die kruis sou bly nie, aangesien dit die voorbereiding was -- want die dag van daardie sabbat was groot -- het die Jode Pilatus gevra dat hulle bene gebreek en hulle weggeneem moes word.

32 Die soldate het toe gekom en die bene van die eerste een gebreek en van die ander een wat saam met Hom gekruisig was;

33 maar toe hulle by Jesus kom en sien dat Hy al dood was, het hulle sy bene nie gebreek nie.

34 Maar een van die soldate het met 'n spies in sy sy gesteek, en dadelik het daar bloed en water uitgekom.

35 En hy wat dit gesien het, het dit getuig, en sy getuienis is waaragtig; en hy weet dat hy die waarheid spreek, sodat julle kan glo.

36 Want hierdie dinge het gebeur, dat die Skrif vervul sou word: Geen been van Hom sal gebreek word nie.

37 En weer sê 'n ander Skrif: Hulle sal sien in wie hulle gesteek het.

38 En n hierdie dinge het Josef van Arimath,a, wat 'n dissipel van Jesus was, maar in die geheim, uit vrees vir die Jode, vir Pilatus gevra of hy die liggaam van Jesus mag wegneem. En Pilatus het dit toegelaat. Hy het toe gegaan en die liggaam van Jesus weggeneem.

39 En Nikod,mus, wat die eerste maal in die nag na Jesus gegaan het, het ook gekom met 'n mengsel van mirre en alewee van omtrent honderd pond gewig.

40 En hulle het die liggaam van Jesus geneem en dit in doeke toegedraai saam met die speserye, soos die gewoonte van die Jode is om te begrawe.

41 En daar was op die plek waar Hy gekruisig is, 'n tuin, en in die tuin 'n nuwe graf waar nog nooit iemand in neergelê was nie.

42 Daar het hulle Jesus toe neergelê weens die voorbereiding van die Jode, omdat die graf naby was.
