John Chapter 19

Jesus Sentenced to Be Crucified

Then
Pilate took Jesus
and had him flogged.

The soldiers
twisted together
a crown of thorns

and
put it on his head.

They clothed him
in a purple robe

and went up to him
again and again, saying,

“Hail, king of the Jews!”
And they slapped him in the face.

Once 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.”

When
Jesus came out wearing
the crown of thorns
and the purple robe,

Pilate said to them,
“Here is the man!”

As 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.”

The Jewish leaders
insisted,

“We have a law,
and according to that law
he must die,

because
he claimed to be
the Son of God.”

When
Pilate heard this,
he was even more afraid,

and he went back
inside the palace.

“Where do you come from?”
he asked Jesus,

but

Jesus gave him

no answer.

“Do you refuse to speak to me?”
Pilate said.

“Don’t you realize
I have power either to free you
or to crucify you?”

Jesus 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.”

From 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.”

When 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).

It was the day of
Preparation of the Passover;

it was about noon.

“Here is your king,”
Pilate said to the Jews.

But 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.

Finally
Pilate handed him
over to them to be crucified.

The Crucifixion of Jesus

So the soldiers
took charge of Jesus.

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

There

they crucified him,

and with him two others—
one on each side

and
Jesus in the middle.

Pilate had a notice
prepared and fastened
to the cross.

It read:

jesus of nazareth,

the king of the jews.

Many 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.

The 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.”

Pilate answered,

“What I have written,
I have written.”

When
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.

“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.

Near the cross of Jesus
stood his mother,

his mother’s sister,
Mary the wife of Clopas, and
Mary Magdalene.

When Jesus saw
his mother there,

and
the disciple whom he loved
standing nearby,

he said to her,

“Woman,
here is your son,”

and to the disciple,
“Here is your mother.”

From that time on,
this disciple took her into
his home.

The Death of Jesus

Later,
knowing that everything had
now been finished,

and so that Scripture
would be fulfilled,

Jesus said,

“I am thirsty.”

A 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.

When he had received
the drink,

Jesus said,

“It is finished.”

With that,
he bowed his head
and gave up his spirit.

Now
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.

The soldiers therefore
came and broke the legs of
the first man who had been
crucified with Jesus,

and then
those of the other.

But
when they came to Jesus

and
found that he was
already dead,

they did not
break his legs.

Instead,
one of the soldiers
pierced Jesus’ side with
a spear,

bringing a sudden flow of
blood and water.

The 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.

These things happened
so that the scripture would be
fulfilled:

“Not one of his bones

will be broken,”

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

The Burial of Jesus

Later,
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.

He 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.

Taking Jesus’ body,
the two of them wrapped it,

with the spices,
in strips of linen.

This was
in accordance with Jewish
burial customs.

At 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.

Because
it was the Jewish day of
Preparation

and
since the tomb was nearby,
they laid Jesus there.

John 19:1-42

요한복음 19

19:1

이에 빌라도가
예수를 데려다가 채찍질하더라

19:2

군병들이
가시나무로 관을 엮어

그의머리에 씌우고
자색 옷을 입히고

19:3

앞에 가서
이르되

유대인의 왕이여
평안할지어다 하며

손으로 때리더라

19:4

빌라도가
다시 밖에 나가 말하되

보라
이 사람을 데리고
너희에게 나오나니

이는
내가 그에게서
아무 죄도 찾지 못한 것을
너희로 알게 하려 함이로라
하더라

19:5

이에
예수께서

가시관을 쓰고
자색 옷을 입고 나오시니

빌라도가
그들에게말하되

보라 이 사람이로다 하매

19:6

대제사장들과
아랫사람들이

예수를 보고
소리 질러 이르되

십자가에 못 박으소서

십자가에 못 박으소서 하는지라

빌라도가 이르되

너희가 친히 데려다가
십자가에 못 박으라

나는 그에게서
죄를 찾지 못하였노라

19:7

유대인들이 대답하되
우리에게 법이 있으니 그 법대로 하면
그가 당연히 죽을것은

그가 자기를
하나님 아들이라
함이니이다

19:8

빌라도가 이 말을 듣고
더욱 두려워하여

19:9

다시 관정에 들어가서
예수께 말하되

너는 어디로부터냐 하되

예수께서
대답하여 주지 아니하시는지라

19:10

빌라도가 이르되
내게 말하지 아니하느냐

내가 너를 놓을 권한도 있고
십자가에 못 박을 권한도 있는 줄
알지 못하느냐

19:11

예수께서 대답하시되

위에서 주지 아니하셨더라면

나를 해할 권한이 없었으리니

그러므로
나를 네게 넘겨 준 자의 죄는
더 크다 하시니라

19:12

이러하므로
빌라도가 예수를 놓으려고
힘썼으나

유대인들이
소리 질러 이르되

이 사람을 놓으면
가이사의 충신이 아니니이다

무릇 자기를 왕이라 하는 자는
가이사를 반역하는 것이니이다

19:13

빌라도가 이 말을 듣고
예수를 끌고 나가서

돌을 깐 뜰(히브리 말로 가바다)에 있는
재판석에 앉아있더라

19:14

이 날은
유월절의 준비일이요

때는 제육시라

빌라도가
유대인들에게 이르되

보라 너희 왕이로다

19:15

그들이
소리 지르되

없이 하소서 없이 하소서

그를 십자가에

못 박게 하소서

빌라도가 이르되
내가 너희 왕을 십자가에
못 박으랴

대제사장들이 대답하되

가이사 외에는
우리에게 왕이 없나이다하니
