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.*19:14 "the sixth hour" would have been 6:00 a.m. according to the Roman timekeeping system, or noon for the Jewish timekeeping system in use, then. 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."✝19:24 Psalms 22:18

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*19:28 NU, TR read "knowing" instead of "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."✝19:36 Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12; Psalms 34:20 37 Again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they pierced."✝19:37 Zechariah 12:10

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.*19:39 100 Roman pounds of 12 ounces each, or about 72 pounds, or 33 Kilograms. 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 Siis viis Pilaatus Jeesuse ära ja laskis teda piitsutada. 2 Sõdurid panid talle pähe kibuvitstest punutud pärja ning selga purpurpunase rüü. 3 Nad astusid ta ette, öeldes: „Tervitus, juutide kuningas!" ning lõid talle vastu nägu.

4 Pilaatus tuli taas välja ja ütles: „Vaadake, ma toon ta teie ette teile teadmiseks, et mina ei leia temal ühtki süüd!" 5 Siis tuli Jeesus välja, kandes peas kibuvitsapärga ja seljas purpurpunast rüüd.

„Siin on see mees!" ütles Pilaatus neile.

6 Jeesust nähes karjusid ülempreestrid ja valvurid: „Löö ta risti, löö ta risti!"

„Võtke teie ta ja lööge ise risti," ütles Pilaatus. „Mina ei leia temal ühtki süüd."

7 „Meil on Seadus," vastasid juudid, „ja Seaduse järgi peab ta surema, sest ta on kuulutanud ennast Jumala Pojaks."

8 Seda kuuldes hakkas Pilaatus tõsiselt kartma. 9 Ta läks tagasi kohtukotta ja küsis Jeesuselt: „Kust sa pärit oled?" Aga Jeesus ei vastanud. 10 Siis ütles Pilaatus talle: „Kas sa keeldud minuga rääkimast? Kas sa ei mõista, et minu võimuses on sind vabaks lasta või risti lüüa?"

11 „Sul ei oleks minu üle mingit võimu," vastas Jeesus, „kui see ei oleks sulle antud ülalt. Seepärast on suurem süü sellel, kes mind sinu kätte andis."

12 Sellest alates üritas Pilaatus Jeesust vabaks lasta. Ent juudid karjusid: „Kui sa tema vabaks lased, ei ole sa keisri sõber. Igaüks, kes kuulutab ennast kuningaks, on keisri vastane."

13 Seda kuuldes tõi Pilaatus Jeesuse välja ning istus kohtunikutoolile paigas, mille nimi on Kivipõrand, heebrea keeles Gabbatha. 14 Oli paasapühade ettevalmistuspäev, lõunaaeg.

„Siin on teie kuningas!" ütles Pilaatus juutidele.

15 End need karjusid vastu: „Vii ta minema! Vii ta minema! Löö ta risti!"

„Kas ma pean teie kuninga risti lööma?" küsis Pilaatus.

„Meil ei ole muud kuningat kui keiser," vastasid ülempreestrid.

16 Siis andis Pilaatus Jeesuse ristilöömiseks sõdurite kätte.

Sõdurid võtsid Jeesuse kaasa. 17 Oma risti kandes läks ta Pealuuks hüütud paika, mis on heebrea keeles Kolgata. 18 Seal lõid nad risti Jeesuse ja veel kaks meest koos temaga: teine teisele poole ja tema nende vahele.

19 Pilaatus lasi kirjutada ja ristile kinnitada sildi. Seal olid sõnad:

Naatsareti Jeesus, juutide kuningas

20 Seda silti luges palju juute, sest Jeesuse ristilöömise paik oli linna lähedal. Kirjutatud oli heebrea, ladina ja kreeka keeles. 21 Juutide ülempreestrid palusid Pilaatust: „Ära kirjuta „Juutide kuningas", vaid: „Tema on öelnud: „Mina olen juutide kuningas." " "

22 Kuid Pilaatus vastas: „Mida ma olen kirjutanud, seda ma olen kirjutanud."

23 Kui sõdurid olid Jeesuse risti löönud, võtsid nad ta riided ja jagasid nelja sõduri vahel ära. Nad võtsid ka särgi, mis oli ilma õmblusteta, ülalt alla ühes tükis kootud. 24 Seepärast ütlesid nad üksteisele: „Ärme tee seda katki, vaid heidame liisku, kellele see saab!" Nii sündis, et läheks täide Pühakirja sõna:

„Nad on jaotanud omavahel mu riided

ja heitnud liisku mu rõivaste üle."

Seda sõdurid tegidki.

25 Jeesuse risti juures seisid ka tema ema, ema õde, Kloopase naine Maarja ning Maarja Magdaleena. 26 Kui Jeesus nägi oma ema ja tema kõrval seismas jüngrit, keda ta armastas, ütles ta emale: „Naine, see on sinu poeg!" 27 Siis ütles ta oma jüngrile: „See on sinu ema!" Sellest ajast võttis jünger Jeesuse ema enda juurde elama.

28 Pärast seda ütles Jeesus, teades, et nüüd on kõik lõpetatud, ja et Pühakiri läheks täide: „Mul on janu!" 29 Seal seisis anum hapu veiniga. Nad panid veini kastetud käsna iisopivarre otsa ja tõstsid ta suu juurde. 30 Kui nüüd Jeesus oli võtnud veini, ütles ta: „See on lõpetatud!" Siis langetas ta pea ja heitis hinge.

31 Ent juudid ei tahtnud, et hukatud jääksid ristile hingamispäevaks – paasanädalal oli see suur püha. Seepärast palusid nad Pilaatust, et ta käsiks murda ristilöödute jalaluud ja võtta nad maha. 32 Sõdurid tulidki ja murdsid jalaluud mõlemal mehel, kes olid risti löödud koos Jeesusega. 33 Kui nad Jeesuse juurde jõudsid ja nägid, et ta on juba surnud, jätsid nad tema jalaluud murdmata. 34 Selle asemel torkas üks sõdureist odaga ta küljesse ning sealt voolas välja verd ja vett. 35 Üks pealtnägija on seda tunnistanud ja see tunnistus on õige. Ta teab, et ta räägib tõtt – et teiegi võiksite uskuda. 36 Nii läks täide Pühakirja ettekuulutus: „Ühtki tema luud ei purustata." 37 Ja nagu üks teine ettekuulutus ütleb: „Nad saavad näha seda, kelle nad on läbi torganud."

38 Pärast seda pöördus Joosep Arimaatiast Pilaatuse poole palvega, et ta võiks Jeesuse surnukeha ristilt maha võtta. Joosep oli Jeesuse jünger, aga mitte avalikult, sest ta kartis juute. Pilaatuse loal ta tuli ja võttis surnukeha maha. 39 Nüüd saabus ka Nikodeemos, kes oli kord öösel Jeesuse juures käinud, ja tõi umbes kolmekümne nelja kilogrammi jagu aaloega segatud mürri. 40 Siis võtsid nad Jeesuse surnukeha ja mähkisid ta koos lõhnarohtudega linasesse kangasse, nagu on juutide matusekomme. 41 Ristilöömise kohas oli aed ja seal asus uus haud, kuhu ei olnud veel kedagi maetud. 42 Et hingamispäev oli algamas ja haud oli lähedal, siis panid nad Jeesuse sinna.
