¹So at that time Pilate took Jesus and flogged him.

²And the soldiers, having twisted together a wreath of thorns, put it on his head and cast a purple robe around him,

³and they were coming up to him and were saying: Hail, O King of the Jews! And they were giving him blows with the palm.

⁴And so Pilate went forth again outside and says to them: Behold, I bring him out to you, so that you may know that I find no guilt in him.

⁵So Jesus went forth outside, wearing the thorny wreath and the purple robe. And he says to them: Behold the man!

⁶So when the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him. Pilate says to them: Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I myself find no guilt in him.

⁷The Jews answered him: We ourselves have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

⁸So when Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid,

⁹and he went into the Praetorium again and says to Jesus: From where are you yourself? But Jesus did not give an answer to him.

¹⁰So Pilate says to him: Do you not speak to me? Surely you know that I have authority to release you and I have authority to crucify you?

¹¹Jesus answered him: You were having no authority against me, unless it were given to you from above; because of this, the one who betrayed me to you has greater sin.

¹²Out of this, Pilate was seeking to release him; but the Jews cried out, saying: If you shall release this man, you are not a dear one of Caesar. Everyone making himself a king speaks against the Caesar.

¹³So Pilate, having heard these words, brought Jesus out and sat down upon the judgment seat at a place named the Stone Pavement, now in Hebrew Gabbatha.

¹⁴Now it was the Day of Preparation of the Passover; the hour was about the sixth. And he says to the Jews: Behold your king!

¹⁵Now they cried out, therefore: Away, crucify him! Pilate says to them: Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered: We have no king except Caesar.

¹⁶So then he delivered him to them, that he might be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away;

¹⁷and bearing his own cross, he went out to the place named of the Skull Place, which is named in Hebrew Golgotha,

¹⁸where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side and on that side, now Jesus in between.

¹⁹Then Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross. Now it was written: Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.

²⁰So many of the Jews read this title, for the place of the city where Jesus was crucified was near; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek.

²¹So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate: Do not write, The King of the Jews, but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

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

²³Then the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, a part to each soldier, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven throughout from the top all.

²⁴So they said to one another: Let us not tear it up, but let us cast lots for it, whose it will be; that the Scripture might be fulfilled which is being spoken: They divided my garments among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot. So the soldiers indeed did these things.

²⁵But standing by the cross of Jesus had been his mother and the sister of his mother, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary the Magdalene.

²⁶So Jesus, when he had seen his mother and the disciple whom he was loving already standing by, says to his mother: Madam, behold your son.

²⁷Then he says to the disciple: Behold your mother. And from that very hour the disciple took her to his own.

²⁸After this, Jesus, knowing that now all things has been accomplished, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, says: I thirst.

²⁹So a vessel full of sour wine was set there; so when they had put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop stalk, they brought it to the mouth.

³⁰When then Jesus took the sour wine, he said: It has been finished. And when he had bowed the head, he yielded up the spirit.

³¹So the Jews, since it was the Preparation, so that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the Sabbath — for the day of that Sabbath was a high one — asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and they might be taken away.

³²So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first indeed and of the other who had been crucified with him;

³³but when they had come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs,

³⁴but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

³⁵And the one having seen has borne witness, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is speaking truth, that you yourselves also may trust.

³⁶For these things took place so that the Scripture might be fulfilled: Not one bone of his will be broken.

³⁷And again another Scripture says: They will behold the One on whom they have pierced.

³⁸Then after these things, Joseph the one from Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus — concealed however through the fear of the Jews — asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave permission. So he came and took away his body.

³⁹Now Nicodemus also came, the one who came to him by night at the first, bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound.

⁴⁰So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, even as the custom is among the Jews to prepare for burial.

⁴¹Now there was a garden in the place where he was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one was yet already laid.

⁴²So there, on account of the Preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.
