1. The Soldiers Mock Jesus

   (Isaiah 50:4–11; Matthew 27:27–31; Mark 15:16–20; Luke 22:63–65)

2. 1DBYThen Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged him.BSBBSB: Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.
3. 2DBYAnd the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,BSBBSB: The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe.
4. 3DBYand came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face.BSBBSB: And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.
5. 4DBYAnd Pilate went out again and says to them, Lo, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault whatever.BSBBSB: Once again Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
6. 5DBY(Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man!BSBBSB: When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
7. 6DBYWhen therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him they cried out saying, Crucify, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Take him ye and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.BSBBSB: As soon as the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” “You take Him and crucify Him,” Pilate replied, “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.”
8. 7DBYThe Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he made himself Son of God.BSBBSB: “We have a law,” answered the Jews, “and according to that law He must die, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God.”
9. 8DBYWhen Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid,BSBBSB: When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
10. 9DBYand went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.BSBBSB: and he went back into the Praetorium. “Where are You from?” he asked. But Jesus gave no answer.
11. 10DBYPilate therefore says to him, Speakest thou not to me? Dost thou not know that I have authority to release thee and have authority to crucify thee?BSBBSB: So Pilate said to Him, “Do You refuse to speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You and authority to crucify You?”
12. 11DBYJesus answered, Thou hadst no authority whatever against me if it were not given to thee from above. On this account he that has delivered me up to thee has the greater sin.BSBBSB: Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”
13. 12DBYFrom this time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out saying, If thou releasest this man, thou art not a friend to Caesar. Every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar.BSBBSB: From then on, Pilate tried to release Him, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who declares himself a king is defying Caesar.”
14. 13DBYPilate therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus out and sat down upon the judgment-seat, at a place called Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha;BSBBSB: When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat on the judgment seat at a place called the Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha.

The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.BSBBSB: At this, they shouted, “Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” “Shall I crucify your King?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” replied the chief priests.

17. The Crucifixion

    (Psalm 22:1–31; Matthew 27:32–44; Mark 15:21–32; Luke 23:26–43)

18. 16DBYThen therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.BSBBSB: Then Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified, and the soldiers took Him away.
19. 17DBYAnd he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;BSBBSB: Carrying His own cross, He went out to The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.

21. 19DBYAnd Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews.BSBBSB: Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
22. 20DBYThis title therefore many of the Jews read, for the place of the city where Jesus was crucified was near; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin.BSBBSB: Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
23. 21DBYThe chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but that he said, I am king of the Jews.BSBBSB: So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but only that He said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”
24. 22DBYPilate answered, What I have written, I have written.BSBBSB: Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
25. 23DBYThe soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothes, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and the body-coat; but the body-coat was seamless, woven through the whole from the top.BSBBSB: When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
26. 24DBYThey said therefore to one another, Let us not rend it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled which says, They parted my garments among themselves, and on my vesture they cast lots. The soldiers therefore did these things.BSBBSB: So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.
27. 25DBYAnd by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.BSBBSB: Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother and her sister, as well as Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.

32. 29DBYThere was a vessel therefore there full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting hyssop round it, they put it up to his mouth.BSBBSB: A jar of sour wine was sitting there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth.
33. 30DBYWhen therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.BSBBSB: When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.

34. Jesus’ Side Is Pierced

    (Zechariah 12:10–14)

35. 31DBYThe Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was the preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great day,) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away.BSBBSB: It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.
36. 32DBYThe soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;BSBBSB: So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and those of the other.

39. 35DBYAnd he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.BSBBSB: The one who saw it has testified to this, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
40. 36DBYFor these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.BSBBSB: Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”
41. 37DBYAnd again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.BSBBSB: And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”

42. The Burial of Jesus

    (Isaiah 53:9–12; Matthew 27:57–61; Mark 15:42–47; Luke 23:50–56)

43. 38DBYAnd after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, demanded of Pilate that he might take the body of Jesus: and Pilate allowed it. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus.BSBBSB: Afterward, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and removed His body.

45. 40DBYThey took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it up in linen with the spices, as it is the custom with the Jews to prepare for burial.BSBBSB: So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.
46. 41DBYBut there was in the place where he had been crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid.BSBBSB: Now there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
47. 42DBYThere therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.BSBBSB: And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus there.
