John 19

1

Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged [him].

2

And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,

3

and came to him and said, Hail, king of the Jews! and gave him blows on the face.

4

And 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.

5

(Jesus therefore went forth without, wearing the crown of thorn, and the purple robe.) And he says to them, Behold the man!

6

When 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.

7

The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to [our] law he ought to die, because he made himself Son of God.

8

When Pilate therefore heard this word, he was the rather afraid,

9

and went into the praetorium again and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

10

Pilate 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?

11

Jesus 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.

12

From 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.

13

Pilate therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus out and sat down upon [the] judgment-seat, at a place called Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha;

14

(now it was [the] preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour;) and he says to the Jews, Behold your king!

15

But they cried out, Take [him] away, take [him] away, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

16

Then therefore he delivered him up to them, that he might be crucified; and they took Jesus and led him away.

17

And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called [place] of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;

18

where they crucified him, and with him two others, [one] on this side, and [one] on that, and Jesus in the middle.

19

And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews.

20

This 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.

21

The 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.

22

Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.

23

The 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.

24

They 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.

25

And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.

26

Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.

27

Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

28

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.

29

There 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.

30

When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.

31

The 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.

32

The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;

33

but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs,

34

but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.

35

And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.

36

For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.

37

And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

38

And 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.

39

And Nicodemus also, who at first came to Jesus by night, came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds [weight].

40

They 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.

41

But 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.

42

There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.

John 20

1

And on the first [day] of the week Mary of Magdala comes in early morn to the tomb, while it was still dark, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb.

2

She runs therefore and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, to whom Jesus was attached, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

3

Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and came to the tomb.

4

And the two ran together, and the other disciple ran forward faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

5

and stooping down he sees the linen cloths lying; he did not however go in.

6

Simon Peter therefore comes, following him, and entered into the tomb, and sees the linen cloths lying,

7

and the handkerchief which was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a distinct place by itself.

8

Then entered in therefore the other disciple also who came first to the tomb, and he saw and believed;

9

for they had not yet known the scripture, that he must rise from among [the] dead.

10

The disciples therefore went away again to their own home.

11

But Mary stood at the tomb weeping without. As therefore she wept, she stooped down into the tomb,

12

and beholds two angels sitting in white [garments], one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

13

And they say to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

14

Having said these things she turned backward and beholds Jesus standing [there], and knew not that it was Jesus.

15

Jesus says to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

16

Jesus says to her, Mary. She, turning round, says to him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which means Teacher.

17

Jesus says to her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and [to] my God and your God.

18

Mary of Magdala comes bringing word to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and [that] he had said these things to her.

19

When therefore it was evening on that day, which was the first [day] of the week, and the doors shut where the disciples were, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace [be] to you.

20

And having said this, he shewed to them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced therefore, having seen the Lord.

21

[Jesus] said therefore again to them, Peace [be] to you: as the Father sent me forth, I also send you.

22

And having said this, he breathed into [them], and says to them, Receive [the] Holy Spirit:

23

whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.

24

But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25

The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.

26

And eight days after, his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace [be] to you.

27

Then he says to Thomas, Bring thy finger here and see my hands; and bring thy hand and put it into my side; and be not unbelieving, but believing.

28

Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.

29

Jesus says to him, Because thou hast seen me thou hast believed: blessed they who have not seen and have believed.

30

Many other signs therefore also Jesus did before his disciples, which are not written in this book;

31

but these are written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life in his name.

John 21

1

After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he manifested [himself] thus.

2

There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael who was of Cana of Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

3

Simon Peter says to them, I go to fish. They say to him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and went on board, and that night took nothing.

4

And early morn already breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; the disciples however did not know that it was Jesus.

5

Jesus therefore says to them, Children, have ye anything to eat? They answered him, No.

6

And he said to them, Cast the net at the right side of the ship and ye will find. They cast therefore, and they could no longer draw it, from the multitude of fishes.

7

That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved says to Peter, It is the Lord. Simon Peter therefore, having heard that it was the Lord, girded his overcoat [on him] (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea;

8

and the other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from the land, but somewhere about two hundred cubits, dragging the net of fishes.

9

When therefore they went out on the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

10

Jesus says to them, Bring of the fishes which ye have now taken.

11

Simon Peter went up and drew the net to the land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so many, the net was not rent.

12

Jesus says to them, Come [and] dine. But none of the disciples dared inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

13

Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, and the fish in like manner.

14

This is already the third time that Jesus had been manifested to the disciples, being risen from among [the] dead.

15

When therefore they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs.

16

He says to him again a second time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Shepherd my sheep.

17

He says to him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, art thou attached to me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Art thou attached to me? and said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.

18

Verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst where thou desiredst; but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and bring thee where thou dost not desire.

19

But he said this signifying by what death he should glorify God. And having said this, he says to him, Follow me.

20

Peter, turning round, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned at supper on his breast, and said, Lord, who is it that delivers thee up?

21

Peter, seeing him, says to Jesus, Lord, and what [of] this [man]?

22

Jesus says to him, If I will that he abide until I come, what [is that] to thee? Follow thou me.

23

This word therefore went out among the brethren, That disciple does not die. And Jesus did not say to him, He does not die; but, If I will that he abide until I come, what [is that] to thee?

24

This is the disciple who bears witness concerning these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his witness is true.

25

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they were written one by one, I suppose that not even the world itself would contain the books written.
