to Pilate, “Change it from ‘The King of the Jews’
to ‘He said, I am King of the Jews.’”
22
Pilate replied, “No, what I have written, I
have written.”
23
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they
divided his clothes among the four of them.
They also took his robe, but it was seamless,
woven in one piece from top to bottom. 24So
they said, “Rather than tearing it apart, let’s
throw dice* for it.” This fulfilled the Scripture
that says, “They divided my garments among
themselves and threw dice for my clothing.”*
So that is what they did.
25
Standing near the cross were Jesus’
mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary (the wife
of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene. 26When Jesus
saw his mother standing there beside the disciple he loved, he said to her, “Dear woman,
here is your son.” 27And he said to this disciple,
“Here is your mother.” And from then on this
disciple took her into his home.
THE DEATH OF JESUS 28Jesus knew that his
mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.”* 29A jar of sour wine
was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in
it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to
his lips. 30When Jesus had tasted it, he said,
“It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and
released his spirit.
31
It was the day of preparation, and the Jewish leaders didn’t want the bodies hanging
there the next day, which was the Sabbath
(and a very special Sabbath, because it was
the Passover). So they asked Pilate to hasten their deaths by ordering that their legs
be broken. Then their bodies could be taken
down. 32So the soldiers came and broke the
legs of the two men crucified with Jesus. 33But
when they came to Jesus, they saw that he
was already dead, so they didn’t break his
legs. 34One of the soldiers, however, pierced
his side with a spear, and immediately blood
and water flowed out. 35(This report is from
an eyewitness giving an accurate account. He
speaks the truth so that you also can believe.*)
36
These things happened in fulfillment of the
Scriptures that say, “Not one of his bones will
be broken,”* 37and “They will look on the one
they pierced.”*

JOHN 20
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. 39With 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. 40Following Jewish burial
custom, they wrapped Jesus’ body with the
spices in long sheets of linen cloth. 41The place
of crucifixion was near a garden, where there
was a new tomb, never used before. 42And
so, because it was the day of preparation for
the Jewish Passover* and since the tomb was
close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
20
THE RESURRECTION Early on Sunday
morning,* while it was still dark, Mary
Magdalene came to the tomb and found that
the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. 2She ran and found Simon Peter and
the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved.
She said, “They have taken the Lord’s body out
of the tomb, and we don’t know where they
have put him!”
3
Peter and the other disciple started out for
the tomb. 4They were both running, but the
other disciple outran Peter and reached the
tomb first. 5He stooped and looked in and saw
the linen wrappings lying there, but he didn’t
go in. 6Then Simon Peter arrived and went
inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings
lying there, 7 while the cloth that had covered
Jesus’ head was folded up and lying apart from
the other wrappings. 8Then the disciple who
had reached the tomb first also went in, and
he saw and believed—9for until then they still
hadn’t understood the Scriptures that said
Jesus must rise from the dead. 10Then they
went home.
JESUS APPEARS TO MARY MAGDALENE
Mary was standing outside the tomb crying,
and as she wept, she stooped and looked in.
12
She saw two white-robed angels, one sitting at the head and the other at the foot of
the place where the body of Jesus had been
lying. 13“Dear woman, why are you crying?” the
angels asked her.
“Because they have taken away my Lord,”

FAMILY
(19:25-27) Even while dying on the cross, Jesus was
concerned about his mother. He instructed John to take
care of Mary. What do you do to show your love for your
family?
