John 19:17-30

« John 18John 19John 20 »

17 ^aThey took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, ¹^bbearing His own cross, to the place called ^cthe Place of a Skull, which is called ^din ²Hebrew, Golgotha. 18 There they crucified Him, and with Him ^atwo other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between. 19 And Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, “^aJESUS THE NAZARENE, ^bTHE KING OF THE JEWS.” 20 Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written ^ain ¹Hebrew, Latin, and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘^aThe King of the Jews;’ but that He said, ‘I am ^aKing of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, “^aWhat I have written I have written.”
23 Then ^athe soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made ^bfour parts, a part to each soldier and also His ¹tunic; now that tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top. 24 So they said to one another, “^aLet us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be;” ^bthis was in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “They ^cdivided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast ¹lots.” 25 Therefore the soldiers did these things.
^aBut standing by the cross of Jesus were ^bHis mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and ^cMary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus then saw His mother, and ^athe disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He *said to His mother, “^bWoman, behold, your son!” 27 Then He *said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her into ^ahis home.

Scripture Fulfilled—It Is Finished

28 After this, Jesus, ^aknowing that all things had already been finished, ^bin order ¹to finish the Scripture, *said, “^cI am thirsty.” 29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so ^athey put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. 30 Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “^aIt is finished!” And bowing His head, He ^bgave up His spirit.
