New Living Translation

1Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.

1Then Pilate had Jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip.

2The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe

2The soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him.

3and went up to him again and again, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And they slapped him in the face.

3“Hail! King of the Jews!” they mocked, as they slapped him across the face.

4Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, "Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him."

4Pilate went outside again and said to the people, “I am going to bring him out to you now, but understand clearly that I find him not guilty.”

5When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!"

5Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said, “Look, here is the man!”

6As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, "Crucify! Crucify!" But Pilate answered, "You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him."

6When they saw him, the leading priests and Temple guards began shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” “Take him yourselves and crucify him,” Pilate said. “I find him not guilty.”

7The Jewish leaders insisted, "We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God."

7The Jewish leaders replied, “By our law he ought to die because he called himself the Son of God.”

8When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid,

8When Pilate heard this, he was more frightened than ever.

9and he went back inside the palace. "Where do you come from?" he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.

9He took Jesus back into the headquarters again and asked him, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave no answer.

10"Do you refuse to speak to me?" Pilate said. "Don't you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?"

10“Why don’t you talk to me?” Pilate demanded. “Don’t you realize that I have the power to release you or crucify you?”

11Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin."

11Then Jesus said, “You would have no power over me at all unless it were given to you from above. So the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin.”

12From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, "If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar."

12Then Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders shouted, “If you release this man, you are no ‘friend of Caesar.’ Anyone who declares himself a king is a rebel against Caesar.”

13When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha).

13When they said this, Pilate brought Jesus out to them again. Then Pilate sat down on the judgment seat on the platform that is called the Stone Pavement (in Hebrew, Gabbatha ).

14It was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about noon. "Here is your king," Pilate said to the Jews.

14It was now about noon on the day of preparation for the Passover. And Pilate said to the people, “Look, here is your king!”

15But they shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!" "Shall I crucify your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king but Caesar," the chief priests answered.

15“Away with him,” they yelled. “Away with him! Crucify him!” “What? Crucify your king?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” the leading priests shouted back.

16Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus.

16Then Pilate turned Jesus over to them to be crucified. The Crucifixion So they took Jesus away.

17Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha).

17Carrying the cross by himself, he went to the place called Place of the Skull (in Hebrew, Golgotha ).

18There they crucified him, and with him two others--one on each side and Jesus in the middle.

18There they nailed him to the cross. Two others were crucified with him, one on either side, with Jesus between them.

19Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth, the king of the jews.

19And Pilate posted a sign on the cross that read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”

20Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek.

20The place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, so that many people could read it.

21The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, "Do not write 'The King of the Jews,' but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews."

21Then the leading priests objected and said to Pilate, “Change it from ‘The King of the Jews’ to ‘He said, I am King of the Jews.’”

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

22Pilate replied, “No, what I have written, I have written.”

23When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

23When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided his clothes among the four of them. They also took his robe, but it was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

24"Let's not tear it," they said to one another. "Let's decide by lot who will get it." This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said, "They divided my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment." So this is what the soldiers did.

24So they said, “Rather than tearing it apart, let’s throw dice for it.” This fulfilled the Scripture that says, “They divided my garments among themselves and threw dice for my clothing.” So that is what they did.

25Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

25Standing near the cross were Jesus’ mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene.

26When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, "Woman, here is your son,"

26When Jesus saw his mother standing there beside the disciple he loved, he said to her, “Dear woman, here is your son.”

27and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.

27And he said to this disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from then on this disciple took her into his home. The Death of Jesus

28Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty."

28Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.”

29A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips.

29A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips.

30When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

30When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

31Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.

31It was the day of preparation, and the Jewish leaders didn’t want the bodies hanging there the next day, which was the Sabbath (and a very special Sabbath, because it was Passover week). So they asked Pilate to hasten their deaths by ordering that their legs be broken. Then their bodies could be taken down.

32The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.

32So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men crucified with Jesus.

33But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

33But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they didn’t break his legs.

34Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.

34One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.

35The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe.

35(This report is from an eyewitness giving an accurate account. He speaks the truth so that you also may continue to believe. )

36These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken,"

36These things happened in fulfillment of the Scriptures that say, “Not one of his bones will be broken,”

37and, as another scripture says, "They will look on the one they have pierced."

37and “They will look on the one they pierced.” The Burial of Jesus

38Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away.

38Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret disciple of Jesus (because he feared the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate for permission to take down Jesus’ body. When Pilate gave permission, Joseph came and took the body away.

39He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.

39With him came Nicodemus, the man who had come to Jesus at night. He brought about seventy-five pounds of perfumed ointment made from myrrh and aloes.

40Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.

40Following Jewish burial custom, they wrapped Jesus’ body with the spices in long sheets of linen cloth.

41At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.

41The place of crucifixion was near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before.

42Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

42And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
