1	Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him.	Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.	Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.	So Pilate then took Jesus and had Him flogged.
2	And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe.

And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,	And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and placed it on His head, and put a purple cloak on Him;
3	They came up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands.	And they repeatedly came up to Him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and were slapping His face.	And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.	and they repeatedly came up to Him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapped Him in the face again and again.
4	Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him.”	Pilate went outside again and said to them, “Look, I’m bringing Him outside to you to let you know I find no grounds for charging Him.”	Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.	And then Pilate came out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing Him out to you so that you will know that I find no grounds at all for charges in His case.”
5	So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!”	Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”	Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!	Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold, the Man!”
6	When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him.”	When the chief priests and the temple police saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate responded, “Take Him and crucify Him yourselves, for I find no grounds for charging Him.\|”	When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.	So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him; for I find no grounds for charges in His case!”
7	The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God.”	We have a law,” the Jews replied to him, “and according to that law He must die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”	The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.	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!”
8	When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid.	When Pilate heard this statement, he was more afraid than ever.	When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;	Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid;
9	He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.	He went back into the headquarters and asked Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer.	And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.	and he entered the Praetorium again and said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.
10	So Pilate said to him, “You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?”	So Pilate said to Him, “You’re not talking to me? Don’t You know that I have the authority to release You and the authority to crucify You?”	Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?	So Pilate said to Him, “Are you not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?”
11	Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.”	“You would have no authority over Me at all,” Jesus answered him, “if it hadn’t been given you from above. This is why the one who handed Me over to you has the greater sin.”	Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.	Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over Me at all, if it had not been given to you from above; for this reason the one who handed Me over to you has the greater sin.”
12	From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.”	From that moment Pilate made every effort to release Him. But the Jews shouted, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend. Anyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar!”	And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.	As a result of this, Pilate made efforts to release Him; but the Jews shouted, saying, “If you release this Man, you are not a friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar!”
13	So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic Gabbatha.	When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside. He sat down on the judge’s bench in a place called the Stone Pavement (but in Hebrew Gabbatha).	When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.	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.
14	Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold your King!”	It was the preparation day for the Passover, and it was about six in the morning. Then he told the Jews, “Here is your king!”	And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!	Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Look, your King!”
15	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.”	But they shouted, “Take Him away! Take Him away! Crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “Should I crucify your king?\|” We have no king but Caesar!” the chief priests answered.	But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.	So they shouted, “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 except Caesar.”
16	So he delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus,	So then, because of them, he handed Him over to be crucified. Therefore they took Jesus away.	Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.	So he then handed Him over to them to be crucified.
17	and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha.	Carrying His own cross, He went out to what is called Skull Place, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.	And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:	They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, carrying His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which in Hebrew is called, Golgotha.
18	There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.	There they crucified Him and two others with Him, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle.	Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.	There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between.
19	Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”	Pilate also had a sign lettered and put on the cross. The inscription was: JESUS THE NAZARENE THE KING OF THE JEWS.	And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.	Now Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written: “JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
20	Many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek.	Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.	This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.	Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and in Greek.
21	So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’”	So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that He said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”	Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.	So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews’; rather, write that He said, ‘I am King of the Jews.’”
22	Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written.”	Pilate replied, “What I have written, I have written.”	Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.	Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23	When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom,	When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took His clothes and divided them into four parts, a part for each soldier. They also took the tunic, which was seamless, woven in one piece from the top.	Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.	Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made four parts: a part to each soldier, and the tunic also; but the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece.
24	so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture which says, “They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.” So the soldiers did these things,	So they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it, to see who gets it.” They did this to fulfill the Scripture that says: They divided My clothes among themselves, and they cast lots for My clothing. And this is what the soldiers did.	They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.	So they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be.” This happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “THEY DIVIDED MY GARMENTS AMONG THEMSELVES, AND THEY CAST LOTS FOR MY CLOTHING.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.
25	but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.	Standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.	Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.	Now beside the cross of Jesus stood His mother, His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26	When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”	When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple He loved standing there, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”	When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!	So when Jesus saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”
27	Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.	Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.	Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.	Then He said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her into his own household.
28	After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.”	After this, when Jesus knew that everything was now accomplished that the Scripture might be fulfilled, He said, “I’m thirsty!”	After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.	After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.”
29	A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth.	A jar full of sour wine was sitting there; so they fixed a sponge full of sour wine on hyssop and held it up to His mouth.	Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.	A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth.
30	When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.	When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” Then bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.	When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.	Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
31	Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.	Since it was the preparation day, the Jews did not want the bodies to remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special day). They requested that Pilate have the men’s legs broken and that their bodies be taken away.	The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.	Now then, since it was the day of preparation, to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews requested of Pilate that their legs be broken, and the bodies be taken away.
32	So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him.	So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the other one who had been crucified with Him.	Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.	So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man, and of the other who was crucified with Him;
33	But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.	When they came to Jesus, they did not break His legs since they saw that He was already dead.	But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:	but after they came 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 at once there came out blood and water.	But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and at once blood and water came out.	But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.	Yet one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35	He who saw it has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—that you also may believe.	He who saw this has testified so that you also may believe. His testimony is true, and he knows he is telling the truth.	And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.	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.
36	For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken.”	For these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: Not one of His bones will be broken.	For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.	For these things took place so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “NOT A BONE OF HIM SHALL BE BROKEN.”
37	And again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they have pierced.”	Also, another Scripture says: They will look at the One they pierced.	And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.	And again another Scripture says, “THEY WILL LOOK AT HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED.”
38	After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body.	After this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus—but secretly because of his fear of the Jews—asked Pilate that he might remove Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and took His body away.	And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.	Now after these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, requested of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.
39	Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds in weight.	Nicodemus (who had previously come to Him at night) also came, bringing a mixture of about 75 pounds of myrrh and aloes.	And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.	Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred litras weight.
40	So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.	Then they took Jesus’ body and wrapped it in linen cloths with the aromatic spices, according to the burial custom of the Jews.	Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.	So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
41	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.	There was a garden in the place where He was crucified. A new tomb was in the garden; no one had yet been placed in it.	Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.	Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
42	So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.	They placed Jesus there because of the Jewish preparation and since the tomb was nearby.	There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.	Therefore because of the Jewish day of preparation, since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
