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.”4Pilate went outside again and said to them, “Look, I’m bringing him out to you to let you know I find no grounds for charging him.”
5Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said, “Look, here is the man!”5Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Here is the man! ”
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.”6When the chief priests and the temple servants saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify! ” Pilate responded, “Take him and crucify him yourselves, since I find no grounds for charging him.”
7The Jewish leaders replied, “By our law he ought to die because he called himself the Son of God.”7“We have a law,” the Jews replied to him, “and according to that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”

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.”11“You would have no authority over me at all,” Jesus answered him, “if it hadn’t been given you from above. This is why the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin.”
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.”12From that moment Pilate kept trying to release him. But the Jews shouted, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend. Anyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar! ”
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 ).13When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside.

19And Pilate posted a sign on the cross that read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”19Pilate also had a sign made and put on the cross. It said: JESUS OF NAZARETH, the KING of the JEWS.
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.20Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, Latin, and Greek.
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.’”21So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that he said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’ ”
22Pilate replied, “No, what I have written, I have written.”22Pilate replied, “What I have written, I have written.”

They also took the tunic, which was seamless, woven in one piece from the top.
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.24So they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it, to see who gets it.” This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled that says: They divided my clothes among themselves, and they cast lots for my clothing. This is what the soldiers did.

So they asked Pilate to hasten their deaths by ordering that their legs be broken. Then their bodies could be taken down.31Since it was the preparation day, the Jews did not want the bodies to remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special day). They requested that Pilate have the men’s legs broken and that their bodies be taken away.
32So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men crucified with Jesus.32So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been crucified with him.
33But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they didn’t break his legs.33When they came to Jesus, they did not break his legs since they saw that he was already dead.
34One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.34But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once blood and water came out.

41The place of crucifixion was near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before.41There was a garden in the place where he was crucified. A new tomb was in the garden; no one had yet been placed in it.
