MODERN LITERAL VERSION

19:1 Therefore Pilate took Jesus and scourged him then.
19:2 And the soldiers having braided a crown of thorns, placed it on his head and dressed him in a purple garment;
19:3 and said, Hail, King of the Jews! And they gave him slaps on the cheek.

19:4 Therefore Pilate went outside again and says to them, Behold, I lead him outside to you*, that* you* may know that I am finding no crime in him.
19:5 Then* Jesus came outside, wearing the thorny crown and the purple garment. And Pilate says to them, Behold, the man!

19:6 Then* when the high-priests and the attendants saw him, they cried-out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him!
Pilate says to them, Take him yourselves and crucify him; for* I am finding no crime in him.

19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law and according to our law he ought to die, because he made* himself the Son of God.

19:8 Then* when Pilate heard this word, he was more afraid;
19:9 and he entered into the palace again and says to Jesus, Where are you from? But Jesus gave him no answer.
19:10 Therefore Pilate says to him, Why do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and have authority to crucify you?

19:11 Jesus answered, You have no authority against me, except that it was given to you from above, because of this, he who gave me to you has the greater sin.

19:12 From that time, Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes* himself a king speaks against Caesar.
19:13 Then* when Pilate heard this word, he led Jesus outside and sat down upon the judicial-seat in a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
19:14 But it was the Preparation of the Passover and was approximately the sixth hour.
And he says to the Jews, Behold, your* King!

19:15 But they cried-out, Take him away, take him away, crucify him!
Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your* King?
The high-priests answered, We have no king except Caesar.
19:16 Therefore, he gave him to them then that* he might be crucified and they took Jesus and led him away.
{Mk 15:20-23 & Mt 27:31-34 & Lk 23:26-33 & Jn 19:17 Road to the Cross, Friday morning.}

19:17 And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,
{Mk 15:24-32 & Mt 27:35-44 & Lk 23:33-43 & Jn 19:18-27 9:00 until Noon, Friday.}

19:18 where they crucified him and two others with him, on this side and on that side and Jesus in the middle.
19:19 And Pilate also wrote a title and placed it upon the cross. And it was written, JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
19:20 Therefore, many of the Jews read this title, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek and in Latin.

19:21 Therefore, the high-priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, The King of the Jews, but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

19:22 Pilate answered, I have written what I have written.

19:23 Therefore the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made* four parts, a part to every soldier, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless from the top, and was entirely woven.
19:24 Therefore they said to one another, We should not split-apart this tunic, but should do lots concerning it; whose it will be. This happened in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, ‘They divided my garments among them and they cast a lot for my garment.' {Ps. 22. 18} Therefore indeed, the soldiers did these things.
19:25 But, his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene stood beside the cross of Jesus.

19:26 Therefore, when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple standing beside her whom he loved*, he says to his mother, Woman, behold your son!
19:27 Thereafter he says to the disciple, Behold, your mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
{Mk 15:34-41 & Mt 27:46-56 & Lk 23:45-49 & Jn 19:28-30 around 5:00 PM.}

19:28 After this Jesus, knowing that all things have been accomplished, that* the Scripture might be accomplished, which says, ‘I am thirsty.' {Ps. 69:21}
19:29 Therefore, a vessel was standing full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar and having placed it around a hyssop, they brought it to his mouth.
19:30 Then* when Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished. And he bowed his head and gave up the spirit.
{Mk 15:42-47 & Mt 27:57-66 & Lk 23:50-56 & Jn 19:31-42 Before The Sabbath.}

19:31 Therefore the Jews asked Pilate, that* the bodies should not remain upon the cross upon the Sabbath since it was the Preparation, (for* the day of that Sabbath was a high day ), that* their legs might be fractured and that * they might be taken away.
19:32 Therefore, the soldiers came, and indeed fractured the legs of the first and of the other one who was crucified together with him,
19:33 but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was dead already, they did not fracture his legs;
19:34 but one of the soldiers pierced his ribs with a spear and immediately blood and water came out of it.
19:35 And he who has seen has testified and his testimony is true and he knows that he says true things, that* you* might believe.
19:36 For* these things happened in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, ‘A bone of him will not be crushed.' {Ex. 12:46 & Num. 9:12 & Ps. 34:20.}
19:37 And again another Scripture says, ‘They will look at him whom they stabbed.' {Zech. 12:10}

19:38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus and having been hidden because of his fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that* he might take away the body of Jesus and Pilate permitted him. Therefore he came and took away his body.
19:39 And Nicodemus also came, he who came to Jesus the first time by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, approximately a hundred pounds of it.
19:40 So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen-strips with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is for burial.
19:41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which a man had not yet laid.
19:42 Therefore they laid Jesus there, and because of the Jews' Preparation, and because the tomb was near.
{Mk 16:1-8 & Mt 28:1-8 & Lk 24:1-8, 12 & Jn 20:1-10 Dawn and very early Sunday.}
