John 19 // 1277
“What? Crucify your king?” Pi
late
asked.
“We have no king but Caesar,” the
leading priests shouted back.
16 Then Pi
late turned Jesus over to
them to be crucified.
THE CRUCIFIXION
So they took Jesus away. 17 Carrying the
cross by himself, he went to the place
called Place of the Skull (in Hebrew, Gol
gotha). 18 There they nailed him to the
cross. Two others were crucified with
him, one on either side, with Jesus between them. 19 And Pilate posted a sign
on the cross that read, “Jesus of Naza
reth,* the King of the Jews.” 20 The place
where Jesus was crucified was near the
city, and the sign was written in Hebrew,
Latin, and Greek, so that many people
could read it.
21 Then the leading priests objected
and said 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. 24 So 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 J
esus’
mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary (the
wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene.
26 When
Jesus saw his mother standing
there beside the disciple he loved, he said
to her, “Dear woman, here is your son.”
27 And he said to this disciple, “Here is
your mother.” And from then on this disciple took her into his home.
THE DEATH OF JESUS
Jesus knew that his mission was now
finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said,
28
19:19 Or Jesus the Nazarene.
19:24a Greek cast
lots.

“I am thirsty.”* 29 A 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. 30 When Jesus had tasted it,
he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed
his head and gave up 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 Sab
bath, because it was Passover week). So
they asked Pilate to hasten their deaths
by ordering that their legs be broken.
Then their bodies could be taken down.
32 So the soldiers came and broke the
legs of the two men crucified with J esus.
33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw
that he was already dead, so they didn’t
break his legs. 34 One 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 may continue
to believe.*) 36 These things happened
in fulfillment of the Scriptures that say,
“Not one of his bones will be broken,”*
37 and “They will look on the one they
pierced.”*
THE BURIAL OF JESUS
Afterward Joseph of Arimathea, who
had been a secret disciple of Jesus (because he feared the Jew
ish leaders),
asked Pilate for permission to take down
Jesus’ body. When Pilate gave permission, Joseph came and took the body
away. 39 With him came Nicodemus, the
man who had come to Jesus at night. He
brought about s eventy-five pounds* of
perfumed ointment made from myrrh
and aloes. 40 Following Jewish burial custom, they wrapped Jesus’ body with the
spices in long sheets of linen cloth. 41 The
place of crucifixion was near a garden,
where there was a new tomb, never used
before. 42 And so, because it was the day
of preparation for the Jewish Passover*

FA M I LY
(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?
