John 19:16-37

16SoG3767 he thenG5119 1handedG3860 Him overG3860 to them to be crucifiedG4717.

172They tookG3880 JesusG2424, thereforeG3767, and He wentG1831 outG1831, 34carryingG941 His ownG1438 crossG4716, to the place calledG3004 5the PlaceG5117 of a SkullG2898, whichG3739 6in 7HebrewG1447 is calledG3004, GolgothaG1115. 18ThereG3699 they crucifiedG4717 Him, and with Him 8twoG1417 otherG243 menG243, one onG1782 eitherG1782 sideG1782, and JesusG2424 in betweenG3319. 19NowG1161 PilateG4091 alsoG2532 wroteG1125 an inscriptionG5102 and putG5087 it on the crossG4716. It was writtenG1125: “9JESUSG2424 THE NAZARENEG3480, 10THE KINGG935 OF THE JEWSG2453.” 20ThereforeG3767 manyG4183 of the JewsG2453 readG314 thisG3778 inscriptionG5102, becauseG3754 the placeG5117 whereG3699 JesusG2424 was crucifiedG4717 was nearG1451 the cityG4172; and it was writtenG1125 11in 12HebrewG1447, LatinG4515, and in GreekG1676. 21SoG3767 the chiefG749 priestsG749 of the JewsG2453 were sayingG3004 to PilateG4091, “Do not writeG1125, ‘13The KingG935 of the JewsG2453’; ratherG235, write that He saidG3004, ‘I amG1510 14KingG935 of the JewsG2453.’” 22PilateG4091 answeredG611, “15WhatG3739 I have writtenG1125, I have writtenG1125.”

23ThenG3767 16the soldiersG4757, whenG3753 they had crucifiedG4717 JesusG2424, tookG2983 His outerG2440 garmentsG2440 and madeG4160 17fourG5064 partsG3313: a partG3313 to eachG1538 soldierG4757, and the 18tunicG5509 also; but the tunicG5509 was seamlessG690, wovenG5307 19in oneG3650 pieceG3650. 24SoG3767 they saidG3004 to oneG240 anotherG240, “20Let’s not tearG4977 it, but castG2975 lotsG2975 for it, to decide whoseG5101 it shall be.” 21This happened soG2443 thatG2443 the ScriptureG1124 would be fulfilledG4137: “They 22dividedG1266 My garmentsG2440 amongG1266 themselves, and they castG906 23lotsG2819 for My clothingG2441.” ThereforeG3767 the soldiersG4757 didG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778.

2524NowG1161 besideG3844 the crossG4716 of JesusG2424 stoodG2476 25His motherG3384, His mother’sG3384 sisterG79, MaryG3137 the wife of ClopasG2832, and 26MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094. 26SoG3767 when JesusG2424 sawG3708 His motherG3384, and 27the discipleG3101 whomG3739 He lovedG25 standingG3936 nearbyG3936, He saidG3004 to His motherG3384, “28WomanG1135, beholdG2396, your sonG5207!” 27ThenG1534 He saidG3004 to the discipleG3101, “BeholdG2396, your motherG3384!” And from that hourG5610 the discipleG3101 tookG2983 her into 29his ownG2398 household.

28AfterG3326 thisG3778, JesusG2424, 30knowingG3609 that allG3956 thingsG3956 had alreadyG2235 been accomplishedG5055, 31inG2443 orderG2443 thatG2443 the ScriptureG1124 would be fulfilledG5048, saidG3004, “32I amG1372 thirstyG1372.” 29A jarG4632 fullG3324 of sourG3690 wineG3690 was standingG2749 there; soG3767 33they putG4060 a spongeG4699 fullG3324 of the sourG3690 wineG3690 on a branch of hyssopG5301 and broughtG4374 it up to His mouthG4750. 30ThereforeG3767 whenG3753 JesusG2424 had receivedG2983 the sourG3690 wineG3690, He saidG3004, “34It is finishedG5055!” And He bowedG2827 His headG2776 and 35gaveG3860 upG3860 His spiritG4151.

31NowG3767 thenG3767, sinceG1893 it was 36the dayG3904 ofG3904 preparationG3904, to preventG3363 37the bodiesG4983 from remainingG3306 on the crossG4716 on the SabbathG4521 (38for that SabbathG4521 was a 39highG3173 dayG2250), the JewsG2453 requestedG2065 of PilateG4091 that their legsG4628 be brokenG2608, and the bodies be takenG142 awayG142. 32SoG3767 the soldiersG4757 cameG2064 and brokeG2608 the legsG4628 of the firstG4413 manG4413, and of the otherG243 who was 40crucifiedG4957 with Him; 33but after they cameG2064 to JesusG2424, whenG5613 they sawG3708 that He was alreadyG2235 deadG2348, they did not breakG2608 His legsG4628. 34YetG235 oneG1520 of the soldiersG4757 piercedG3572 His sideG4125 with a spearG3057, and immediatelyG2117 41bloodG129 and waterG5204 cameG1831 outG1831. 35And he who has seenG3708 has 42testifiedG3140, and his testimonyG3141 is trueG228; and he knowsG3609 that he is tellingG3004 the truthG227, soG2443 thatG2443 you alsoG2532 may believeG4100. 36For theseG3778 thingsG3778 tookG1096 placeG1096 43soG2443 thatG2443 the ScriptureG1124 would be fulfilledG4137: “44Not a boneG3747 of Him shall be 45brokenG4937.” 37And againG3825 anotherG2087 ScriptureG1124 saysG3004, “46They will lookG3708 at Him whomG3739 they piercedG1574.”
