Part 29

43:019:002 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

43:019:003 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.

43:019:004 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.

43:019:005 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

43:019:006 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.

43:019:007 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

43:019:008 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;

43:019:009 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

43:019:010 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?

43:019:011 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.

43:019:012 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.

43:019:013 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.

43:019:014 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

43:019:015 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.

43:019:016 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

43:019:017 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

43:019:018 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

43:019:019 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

43:019:020 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.

43:019:021 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.

43:019:022 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

43:019:023 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.

43:019:024 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.

43:019:025 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

43:019:026 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

43:019:027 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

43:019:028 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

43:019:029 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
