Joh:18:38: Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
Joh:18:39: But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
Joh:18:40: Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
Chapter 19
Joh:19:1: Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
Joh:19:2: And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
Joh:19:3: And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
Joh:19:4: Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
Joh:19:5: Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
Joh:19:6: When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
Joh:19:7: The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
Joh:19:8: When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
Joh:19:9: And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
Joh:19:10: Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
Joh:19:11: Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
Joh:19:12: And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
Joh:19:13: When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
Joh:19:14: And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
Joh:19:15: But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
Joh:19:16: Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
Joh:19:17: And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
Joh:19:18: Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
Joh:19:19: And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Joh:19:20: This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
Joh:19:21: Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
Joh:19:22: Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
Joh:19:23: Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
Joh:19:24: They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
Joh:19:25: Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
Joh:19:26: When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
Joh:19:27: Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
