John 19
1 Then Pylate toke Iesus and scourged him.
After that, Pilate had Jesus scourged.
2 And ye soudiers wounde a croune of thornes and put it on his heed. And they dyd on him a purple garment
The soldiers made a crown with some thorns and put it on his head and threw a purple robe round him.
3 and sayd: hayll kynge of the Iewes: and they smote him on the face.
They kept coming up to him and saying: “Long live the King of the Jews!” and they gave him blow after blow with their hands.
4 Pylate went forthe agayne and sayde vnto them: beholde I bringe him forth to you that ye maye knowe that I fynde no faute in him.
Pilate again came outside, and said to the people: “Look! I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find nothing with which he can be charged.”
5 Then came Iesus forthe wearynge a croune of thorne and a robe of purple. And Pylate sayd vnto them: beholde ye man.
Then Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe; and Pilate said to them: “Here is the man!”
6 When the hye Prestes and ministres sawe him they cryed sayinge: crucify him crucify him. Pylate sayde vnto them. Take ye him and crucify him: for I fynde no cause in him.
When the Chief Priests and the police-officers saw him, they shouted: “Crucify him! Crucify him!” “Take him yourselves and crucify him,” said Pilate. “For my part, I find nothing with which he can be charged.”
7 The Iewes answered him. We have a lawe and by oure lawe he ought to dye: because he made him selfe the sonne of God.
“But we,” replied the Jews, “have a Law, under which he deserves death for making himself out to be the Son of God.”
8 When Pylate hearde that sayinge he was the moare afrayde
When Pilate heard what they said, he became still more alarmed;
9 and went agayne into ye iudgment hall and sayde vnto Iesus: whence arte thou? But Iesus gave him none answere.
and, going into the Government House again, he said to Jesus: “Where do you come from?”
10 Then sayde Pylate vnto him. Speakest thou not vnto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify the and have power to lowse the?
But Jesus made no reply. So Pilate said to him: “Do you refuse to speak to me? Do not you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?”
11 Iesus answered: Thou couldest have no power at all agaynst me except it were geven the from above. Therfore he yt delyvered me vnto the is moare in synne.
“You would have no power over me at all,” answered Jesus, “if it had not been given you from above; and, therefore, the man who betrayed me to you is guilty of the greater sin.”
12 And from thence forthe sought Pylate meanes to lowse him: but the Iewes cryed sayinge: yf thou let him goo thou arte not Cesars frende. For whosoever maketh hi selfe a kynge is agaynst Cesar
This made Pilate anxious to release him; but the Jews shouted: “If you release that man, you are no friend of the Emperor! Any one who makes himself out to be a King is setting himself against the Emperor!”
13 When Pylate hearde yt sayinge he brought Iesus forthe and sate doune to geve sentece in a place called the pavement: but in the Hebrue tonge Gabbatha.
On hearing what they said, Pilate brought Jesus out, and took his seat upon the Bench at a place called ‘The Stone Pavement’ — in Hebrew ‘Gabbatha.’
14 It was the Saboth even which falleth in the ester fest and aboute the sixte houre. And he sayde vnto the Iewes: beholde youre kynge.
It was the Passover Preparation Day, and about noon. Then he said to the Jews: “Here is your King!”
15 They cryed awaye with him awaye with him crucify him. Pylate sayde vnto them. Shall I crucify youre kynge? The hye Prestes answered: we have no kynge but Cesar.
At that the people shouted: “Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him!” “What! shall I crucify your King?” exclaimed Pilate. “We have no King but the Emperor,” replied the Chief Priests;
16 Then delyvered he him vnto them to be crucified. And they toke Iesus and led him awaye.
whereupon Pilate gave Jesus up to them to be crucified.
17 And he bare his crosse and went forthe into a place called the place of deed mens sculles which is named in Hebrue Golgatha.
and he went out, carrying his cross himself, to the place which is named from a scull, or, in Hebrew, Golgotha.
18 Where they crucified him and two other with him on ether syde one and Iesus in the myddes.
There they crucified him, and two others with him — one on each side, and Jesus between them.
19 And Pylate wrote his tytle and put it on the crosse. The writynge was Iesus of Nazareth kynge of the Iewes.
Pilate also had these words written and put up over the cross — ‘JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.’
20 This tytle reed many of the Iewes. For the place where Iesus was crucified was nye to the cite. And it was written in Hebrue Greke and Latyn.
These words were read by many of the Jews, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and they were written in Hebrew, Latin and Greek.
21 Then sayde the hye prestes of ye Iewes to Pylate: wryte not kynge of the Iewes: but that he sayde I am kynge of the Iewes.
The Jewish Chief Priests said to Pilate: “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews’, but write what the man said — ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”
22 Pylate answered: what I have written that have I written.
But Pilate answered: “What I have written, I have written.”
23 Then the soudiers when they had crucified Iesus toke his garmentes and made foure partes to every soudier a parte and also his coote. The coote was with out seme wrought vpon thorowe out.
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four shares — a share for each soldier — and they took the coat also. The coat had no seam, being woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24 And they sayde one to another. Let vs not devyde it: but cast loostes who shall have it That the scripture myght be fulfilled which sayth. They parted my rayment amonge them and on my coote dyd cast lottes. And the soudiers dyd soche thinges in dede.
So they said to one another: “Do not let us tear it, but let us cast lots for it, to see who shall have it.” This was in fulfilment of the words of Scripture — ‘They shared my clothes among them, And over my clothing they cast lots.’ That was what the soldiers did.
25 Ther stode by the crosse of Iesus his mother and his mothers sister Mary the wyfe of Cleophas and Mary Magdalene.
Meanwhile near the cross of Jesus were standing his mother and his mother’s sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary of Magdala.
26 When Iesus sawe his mother and the disciple stondynge whom he loved he sayde vnto his mother: woman beholde thy sonne.
When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing near, he said to his mother: “There is your son.”
27 Then sayde he to ye disciple: beholde thy mother. And fro that houre the disciple toke her for his awne.
Then he said to that disciple: “There is your mother.” And from that very hour the disciple took her to live in his house.
28 After that when Iesus perceaved that all thinges were performed: that the scripture myght be fulfilled he sayde: I thyrst.
Afterwards, knowing that everything was now finished, Jesus said, in fulfilment of the words of Scripture: “I am thirsty.”
29 Ther stode a vessell full of veneger by. And they filled a sponge with veneger and wounde it about with ysope and put it to his mouth.
There was a bowl standing there full of common wine; so they put a sponge soaked in the wine on the end of a hyssop-stalk, and held it up to his mouth.
30 Assone as Iesus had receaved of the veneger he sayd: It is fynesshed and bowed his heed and gaue vp the goost.
When Jesus had received the wine, he exclaimed: “All is finished!” Then, bowing his head, he resigned his spirit to God.
31 The Iewes then because it was the saboth eve that ye bodyes shuld not remayne apon ye crosse on ye saboth daye (for that saboth daye was an hye daye) besought Pylate that their legges myght be broken and that they myght be taken doune.
It was the Preparation Day, and so, to prevent the bodies from remaining on the crosses during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.
32 Then came the soudiers and brake the legges of the fyrst and of the other which was crucified with Iesus.
Accordingly the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man, and then those of the other who had been crucified with Jesus;
33 But when they came to Iesus and sawe that he was deed already they brake not his legges:
but, on coming to him, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
34 but one of the soudiers with a speare thrust him into the syde and forthwith came ther out bloud and water.
One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a spear, and blood and water immediately flowed from it.
35 And he that sawe it bare recorde and his recorde is true. And he knoweth that he sayth true that ye myght beleve also.
This is the statement of one who actually saw it — and his statement may be relied upon, and he knows that he is speaking the truth — and it is given in order that you also may be convinced.
36 These thinges were done that the scripture shuld be fulfilled: Ye shall not breake a boone of him.
For all this took place in fulfilment of the words of Scripture — ‘Not one of its bones shall be broken.’
37 And agayne another scripture sayth: They shall looke on him whom they pearsed.
And there is another passage which says — ‘They will look upon him whom they pierced.’
38 After that Ioseph of Aramathia (which was a disciple of Iesus: but secretly for feare of ye Iewes) besought Pylate that he myght take doune the body of Iesus. And Pylate gave him licence.
After this, Joseph of Ramah, a disciple of Jesus — but a secret one, owing to his fear of the Jews — begged Pilate’s permission to remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him leave; so Joseph went and removed the body.
39 And ther cam also Nicodemus which at the beginnynge came to Iesus by nyght and brought of myrre and aloes mingled to gether aboute an hundred pounde wayght
Nicodemus, too — the man who had formerly visited Jesus by night — came with a roll of myrrh and aloes, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.
40 Then toke they the body of Iesu and wounde it in lynnen clothes with the odoures as ye maner of the Iewes is to bury.
They took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen with the spices, according to the Jewish mode of burial.
41 And in the place where Iesus was crucified was a garden and in ye garden a newe sepulchre wherin was never man layd.
At the place where Jesus had been crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a newly-made tomb in which no one had ever been laid.
42 There layde they Iesus because of the Iewes saboth even for the sepulcre was nye at honde.
And so, because of its being the Preparation Day, and as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
