Isaiah 53:3-6
He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of
sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from
whom men hide their face. He was despised, and we
did not esteem Him. Surely our griefs He Himself
bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves
esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He
was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our
well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has
turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the
iniquity of us all To fall on Him.
John 19:1
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and
scourged him.
John 19:2,3
And the soldiers twisted together a crown of
thorns and put it on His head, and put a
purple robe on Him; and they began to come
up to Him and say, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
and to give Him slaps in the face.
John 19:4,5
Pilate came out again and said to them,
“Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that
you may know that I find no guilt in Him.”
Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of
thorns and the purple robe.
Pilate said to them, “Behold, the Man!”
John 19:6,7
So when the chief priests and the officers
saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify,
crucify!”
Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves and
crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him.”
The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and
by that law He ought to die because He made
Himself out to be the Son of God.”
John 19:8,9
Therefore when Pilate heard this statement,
he was even more afraid; and he entered into
the Praetorium again and said to Jesus,
“Where are You from?”
But Jesus gave him no answer.
John 19:10,11
Pilate said, “You won’t talk? Don’t you know
that I have the authority to pardon you, and
the authority to—crucify you?”
Jesus said, “You haven’t a shred of authority
over me except what has been given you
from heaven.
That’s why the one who betrayed me to you
has committed a far greater fault.”
John 19:12-14
As a result of this Pilate made efforts to release
Him, but the Jews cried out saying, “If you release
this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone
who makes himself out to be a king opposes
Caesar.”
Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he
brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment
seat at a place called The Pavement, but in
Hebrew, Gabbatha. Now it was the day of
preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth
hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”
John 19:15,16
So they cried out, “Away with Him, away with
Him, crucify Him!”
Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?”
The chief priests answered, “We have no king
but Caesar.”
So he then handed Him over to them to be
crucified.
John 19:17,18
They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out,
bearing His own cross, to the place called the
Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew,
Golgotha.
There they crucified Him, and with Him two
other men, one on either side, and Jesus in
between.
John 19:19,20
Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it
on the cross. It was written, “JESUS THE
NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
Therefore many of the Jews read this
inscription, for the place where Jesus was
crucified was near the city; and it was
written in Hebrew, Latin and in Greek.
John 19:21,22
So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to
Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews’;
but that He said, ‘I am King of the Jews.’”
Pilate answered, “What I have written I have
written.”
John 19:23-25a
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified
Jesus, took His outer garments and made four
parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic;
now the tunic was seamless, woven in one
piece. So they said to one another, “Let us not
tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it
shall be”; this was to fulfill the Scripture: “THEY
DIVIDED MY OUTER GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND FOR
MY CLOTHING THEY CAST LOTS.”
Therefore the soldiers did these things.
John 19:25b-27
But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother,
and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas,
and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus then saw His
mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing
nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold,
your son!” Then He said to the disciple, “Behold,
your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her
into his own household.
MSG: From that moment the disciple accepted her
as his own mother.
John 19:28,29
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had
already been accomplished, to fulfill the
Scripture, said, “I am thirsty.”
A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so
they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a
branch of hyssop and brought it up to His
mouth.
John 19:30
Therefore when Jesus had received the sour
wine, He said, “It is finished!”
And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
John 10:17,18
For this reason the Father loves Me, because I
lay down My life so that I may take it again.
No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it
down on My own initiative.
I have authority to lay it down, and I have
authority to take it up again.
This commandment I received from My Father.”
MSG: I received this authority personally from
my Father.”
John 19:31-34
Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation,
so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on
the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked
Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they
might be taken away.
So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first
man and of the other who was crucified with Him; but
coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already
dead, they did not break His legs.
But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear,
and immediately blood and water came out.
John 19:35
And he who has seen has testified, and his
testimony is true; and he knows that he is
telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
John 19:36,37
For these things came to pass to fulfill the
Scripture, “Not a bone of Him shall be broken.”
And again another Scripture says, “They shall
look on Him whom they pierced.”
John 19:38,39
Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who had been
a secret disciple of Jesus (because he feared the
Jewish leaders), asked Pilate for permission to
take down Jesus’ body.
When Pilate gave permission, Joseph came and
took the body away.
With him came Nicodemus, the man who had
come to Jesus at night.
He brought about seventy-five pounds of
perfumed ointment made from myrrh and
aloes.
John19:40-42
So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in
linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial
custom of the Jews.
Now in the place where He was crucified there
was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in
which no one had yet been laid.
Therefore because of the Jewish day of
preparation, since the tomb was nearby, they
laid Jesus there.
Isaiah 53:3-6
He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of
sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from
whom men hide their face. He was despised, and we
did not esteem Him. Surely our griefs He Himself
bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves
esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He
was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our
well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has
turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the
iniquity of us all To fall on Him.
