The Holy Gospel Of Jesus Christ,
According To John Chapter 19
1 Pilate, when Christ was scourged,
2 and crowned with thrones,
4 as desirous to let him loose;
8 but being overcome with the outrage
of the Jews,
16 he delivereth him to be crucified.
26 Jesus committeth his mother
to the disciple.
30 Having tasted vinegar, he dieth;
34 and being dead, his side was pierced
with a spear.
40 He is buried.
1 Then (*) Pilate took Jesus,
and (1) () scourged him.
(*) Matthew 27:27; Mark 15:16 .
(1) The wisdom of the flesh, chooseth
of two evils the least, but God curseth
that same wisdom.
() He thought to have pacified the fury
of the Jews by some indifferent correction.
2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns,
and put it on his head, and they put on him
a purple garment,
3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews.
And they smote him with their rods.
4 (2) Then Pilate went forth again, and said
unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you,
that ye may know, that I find no fault in him
at all.
(2) Christ is again quitted by the same mouth
wherewith he is afterward condemned.
5 Then came Jesus forth wearing a crown
of thorns, and a purple garment.
And Pilate said unto them,
(*) Behold the man.
(*) He spake in mockery, because Christ
called himself King.
6 Then when the high Priests and officers
saw him, they cried, saying, (a) Crucify,
crucify him.
Pilate said unto them, Take ye him,
and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.
(a) They will have him crucified, whom by
an old custom of theirs, they should have
stoned and hanged up as convicted of
blasphemy; but they desire to have him
crucified after the manner of the Romans.
7 The Jews answered him, We have a law,
and by our law he ought to die,
because he made himself the
(*) Son of God.
(*) Christ was indeed the Son of God,
and therefore might justly call himself so
without breach of the Law; wherefore
their colored accusation was falsely applied.
8 ¶ (3) When Pilate then heard that word,
he was the more afraid,
(3) Pilate's conscience fighteth for Christ,
but straightway it yieldeth, because it is
not upholden with the singular virtue of God.
9 And went again into the common hall,
and said unto Jesus, Whence art thou?
But Jesus gave him none answer.
10 Then said Pilate unto him,
Speakest thou not unto me?
Knowest thou not that I have power to
crucify thee, and have power to loose thee?
11 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.
(*) Hereby he sheweth him, that he ought
not to abuse his office and authority.
12 From thenceforth Pilate sought to loose
him, but the Jews cried, saying,
If thou deliver him, thou art not Caesar's friend;
for whosoever maketh himself a King,
speaketh against Caesar.
13 ¶ (4) When Pilate heard this word, he
brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the
judgment seat in a place called the
(*) Pavement, and in Hebrew,
(b) Gabbatha.
(4) Pilate condemneth himself first, with
the same mouth wherewith he afterward
condemneth Christ.
(*) A place somewhat high and raised up.
(b) Gabbatha signifieth a high place, as
judgment seats are.
14 And it was the Preparation of the Passover,
and about the (*) sixth hour, and he said
unto the Jews, Behold your King.
(*) Which was midday.
15 But they cried, Away with him, away
with him, crucify him.
Pilate said unto them, Shall I crucify your King?
The high Priests answered, We have no King
but Caesar.
16 (5) Then delivered he him unto them,
to be crucified. (*) And they took Jesus,
and led him away.
(5) Christ fasteneth Satan, sin and death
to the cross.
(*) Matthew 27:31; Mark 15:21; Luke 23:26 .
17 And he bare his own cross, and came
into a place named of dead men's Skulls,
which is called in Hebrew, (*) Golgotha;
(*) Which was the place of execution.
18 Where they crucified him, and two others
with him, on either side one, and Jesus
in the midst.
19 ¶ (6) And Pilate wrote also a title,
and put it on the cross, and it was written,
JESUS OF NAZARETH
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
(6) Christ sitting upon the throne
of the cross, is openly written everlasting
king of all people, with his own hand,
whose mouth condemned him
for usurping a kingdom.
20 This title then read many of the Jews,
for the place where Jesus was crucified,
was near to the city; and it was written
in (*) Hebrew, Greek and Latin.
(*) Because all nations might understand.
21 Then said the high Priests of the Jews
to Pilate, Write not, 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 ¶ (7) Then the (*) soldiers, when they
had crucified Jesus, took his garments
(and made four parts, to every soldier a part)
and his coat; and the coat was without seam
woven from the top throughout.
(7) Christ signifieth by the division of his
garments amongst the bloody butchers
(his coat except, that had no seam)
that it shall come to pass, that he will shortly
divide his benefits, and enrich his very enemies
throughout the world; but so notwithstanding
that the treasure of his Church shall remain
whole.
(*) Matthew 27:35; Mark 15:24; Luke 23:34 .
24 ¶ Therefore they said one to another,
Let us not divide it, but cast lots for it,
whose it shall be.
This was that the () Scripture might be fulfilled,
which saith, (*) They parted my garments
among them, and on my coat did cast lots.
So the soldiers did these things indeed.
() That which was prefigured in David,
was accomplished in Jesus Christ.
(*) Psalm 22:18 .
25 ¶ (8) Then stood by the cross of Jesus
his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary
the wife of (*) Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
(8) Christ is a perfect example of all
righteousness, not only in the keeping
of the first, but also of the second table.
(*) Or, Clopas.
26 And when Jesus saw his mother,
and the disciple standing by, whom he
loved, he said unto his mother,
Woman, behold thy son.
27 Then said he to the disciple,
Behold thy mother.
And from that hour, the disciple took her
home unto him.
28 ¶ (9) After, when Jesus knew that all
things were performed, that the
(*) Scripture might be fulfilled,
he said, I thirst.
(9) Christ, when he hath taken the vinegar,
yieldeth up the Ghost, drinking up indeed
that most bitter and sharp cup
of his Father's wrath in our name.
(*) Psalm 69:21 .
29 And there was set a (c) vessel full
of vinegar, and they filled a sponge
with vinegar, and (*) put it about
() a hyssop stalk, and put it to his mouth.
(c) Galatinus witnesseth out of the book
called Sanhedrin, that the Jews were wont
to give them that were executed, vinegar
mixed with frankincense to drink, to make
their brains somewhat troubled; so charitably
the Jews provided for the poor men's
consciences which were executed.
(*) Or fastened it upon a hyssop stalk.
() It may appear that the cross was not high,
seeing a man might reach Christ's mouth
with a hyssop stalk, which as appeareth
in 1 Kings 4:33, was the lowest amongst
herbs, as which cedar was highest
amongst the trees.
30 Now when Jesus had received
of the vinegar, he said, (*) It is finished.
And bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
(*) Man's salvation is perfected by the only
sacrifice of Christ; and all the ceremonies
of the Law are ended.
31 (10) The Jews then
(because it was the Preparation,
that the bodies should not remain upon
the cross on the Sabbath day, for that
Sabbath was a (*) high day) besought
Pilate that their legs might be broken,
and that they might be taken down.
(10) The body of Christ which was dead
for a season (because it so pleased him)
is wounded, but the least bone of it is not
broken; and such is the state
of his mystical body.
(*) Because the day of the Passover fell
on the Sabbath day.
32 Then came the soldiers and brake the legs
of the first, and of the other, which was
crucified with Jesus.
33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw
that he was dead already, they brake
not his legs.
34 (11) But one of the soldiers with a spear
(d) (*) pierced his side, and forthwith
came there out blood and water.
(11) Christ being dead upon the cross,
witnesseth by a double sign, that he only
is the true satisfaction, and the true washing
for the believers.
(d) This wound was a most manifest witness
of the death of Christ; for the water that issued
out of this wound, gave us plainly to understand,
that the weapon pierced the very skin that
compasseth the heart, which is the vessel
that containeth the water; and that being
once wounded, that creature which is so
pierced and stricken, cannot choose but die.
(*) Which declareth that he was dead indeed
as he rose again from death to life.
35 And he that saw it, bare record,
and his record is true; and he knoweth
that he saith true, that ye might believe it.
36 For these things were done, that the Scripture
should be fulfilled, (*) Not a bone of him
shall be broken.
(*) Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12 .
37 And again another Scripture saith,
(*) They shall see him whom they have
thrust through.
(*) Zechariah 12:10 .
38 (*) (12) And after these things, Joseph
of Arimathea
(who was a disciple of Jesus, but () secretly
for fear of the Jews)
besought Pilate that he might take down
the body of Jesus.
And Pilate gave him license.
He came then and took Jesus' body.
(*) Matthew 27:57; Mark 15:42; Luke 23:50 .
(12) Christ is openly buried, and in a famous
place, Pilate writing and suffering it, and that
by men which did favor Christ, in such wise,
that yet before that day, they never openly
followed him; so that by his burial, no man
can justly doubt either of his death, or
resurrection.
() That is to say, before Christ's death,
but now he declareth himself manifestly.
39 And there came (*) also Nicodemus
(which first came to Jesus by night)
and brought of myrrh and aloes mingled
together about a hundred pounds.
(*) John 3:2 .
40 (*) Then took they the body of Jesus,
and wrapped it in linen clothes with the
odors, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
(*) This honorable burial was a preparation
and entry unto the resurrection.
41 And in that place where Jesus was crucified,
was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulcher,
wherein was (e) never man yet laid.
(e) That no man might cavil at his resurrection,
as though some other that had been buried
there, had risen ;
Theophylact.
42 There then laid they Jesus, because
of the Jews' Preparation day, for the
sepulcher was near.
