Johannes 19
Svenska Folkbibeln
19 Då tog Pilatus Jesus och lät gissla[a] honom. 2 Och soldaterna flätade en krona av törne och satte på hans huvud och klädde honom i en purpurröd mantel. 3 De gick fram till honom och sade: "Var hälsad, judarnas konung", och de slog honom i ansiktet. 4 Pilatus gick ut igen och sade till dem: "Se, jag för ut honom till er, för att ni skall förstå att jag inte finner något brottsligt hos honom." 5 Jesus kom då ut, klädd i törnekronan och purpurmanteln. Pilatus sade till dem: "Se människan!" 6 När översteprästerna och deras tjänare fick se honom, skrek de: "Korsfäst! Korsfäst!" Pilatus sade då till dem: "Ta ni och korsfäst honom! Jag finner honom inte skyldig." 7 Judarna svarade: "Vi har en lag och enligt den lagen måste han dö, eftersom han har gjort sig till Guds Son."
8 När Pilatus hörde det, blev han ännu mer förskräckt, 9 och han gick tillbaka in i pretoriet och sade till Jesus: "Varifrån är du?" Men Jesus gav honom inget svar. 10 Pilatus sade till honom: "Svarar du mig inte? Vet du inte att jag har makt att frige dig och makt att korsfästa dig?" 11 Jesus svarade: "Du skulle inte ha någon makt över mig, om du inte hade fått den ovanifrån. Därför har den som utlämnat mig åt dig större skuld." 12 Från det ögonblicket försökte Pilatus frige honom, men judarna skrek: "Friger du honom är du inte kejsarens vän. Var och en som gör sig själv till konung sätter sig upp mot kejsaren."
13 När Pilatus hörde de orden, lät han föra ut Jesus och satte sig på domarsätet, på den plats som kallas Lithostroton,[b] på hebreiska Gabbata. 14 Det var påskens tillredelsedag,[c] omkring sjätte timmen. Pilatus sade till judarna: "Här ser ni er konung!" 15 De skrek: "Bort med honom, bort! Korsfäst honom!" Pilatus frågade: "Skall jag korsfästa er konung?" Översteprästerna svarade: "Vi har ingen annan konung än kejsaren." 16 Då utlämnade han Jesus åt dem till att korsfästas.
Jesus korsfästes
De tog Jesus med sig. 17 Och han bar själv sitt kors på väg ut till den plats som kallas Huvudskalleplatsen, på hebreiska Golgata. 18 Där korsfäste de honom, och tillsammans med honom två andra, en på var sida och Jesus i mitten. 19 Pilatus hade också låtit göra ett anslag som sattes upp på korset. Där stod: "Jesus från Nasaret, judarnas konung." 20 Det anslaget läste många judar, eftersom platsen där Jesus korsfästes låg nära staden och texten var skriven på hebreiska, latin och grekiska. 21 Då sade judarnas överstepräster till Pilatus: "Skriv inte judarnas konung, utan skriv att han har sagt sig vara judarnas konung." 22 Pilatus svarade: "Vad jag har skrivit, det har jag skrivit."
23 Soldaterna som hade korsfäst Jesus tog hans kläder och delade dem i fyra delar, en åt varje soldat. Också livklädnaden tog de. Men den var utan sömmar, vävd i ett enda stycke, uppifrån och ända ner. 24 Därför sade de till varandra: "Vi skall inte skära sönder den utan kasta lott om vem som skall få den." Ty Skriften skulle uppfyllas: De delade mina kläder mellan sig och kastade lott om min klädnad. [d] Så gjorde nu soldaterna.
25 Vid Jesu kors stod hans mor och hennes syster Maria som var Klopas hustru och Maria från Magdala. 26 När Jesus såg sin mor och bredvid henne den lärjunge som han älskade, sade han till sin mor: "Kvinna, se din son." 27 Sedan sade han till lärjungen: "Se din mor." Och från den stunden tog lärjungen henne hem till sig.
28 Jesus visste att allt redan var fullbordat, och han sade därefter för att Skriften skulle uppfyllas: "Jag törstar."[e] 29 Där stod ett kärl fullt med ättikvin, och de fäste en svamp fylld med ättikvin runt en isopstjälk[f] och förde den till hans mun. 30 När Jesus hade fått det sura vinet, sade han: "Det är fullbordat." Och han böjde ner huvudet och gav upp andan.
31 Eftersom det var tillredelsedag och judarna inte ville att kropparna skulle hänga kvar på korset över sabbaten - det var nämligen en stor sabbatsdag - bad de Pilatus att de korsfästas ben skulle krossas och kropparna föras bort.[g] 32 Soldaterna kom därför och krossade benen på dem som var korsfästa tillsammans med honom, först på den ene och sedan på den andre. 33 När de därefter kom till Jesus och såg att han redan var död, krossade de inte hans ben, 34 men en av soldaterna stack upp hans sida med sitt spjut, och genast kom det ut blod och vatten. 35 Den som har sett detta har vittnat för att också ni skall tro, och hans vittnesbörd är sant, och han vet att han talar sanning. 36 Ty detta skedde för att Skriften skulle uppfyllas: Inget ben skall krossas på honom. [h] 37 Och ett annat skriftställe säger: De skall se upp till honom som de har genomborrat. [i]
Jesu begravning
38 Josef från Arimatea, som var en Jesu lärjunge i hemlighet, av rädsla för judarna, bad därefter Pilatus att få ta ner Jesu kropp. Pilatus tillät det, och Josef gick därför och tog hans kropp. 39 Även Nikodemus kom dit, han som första gången hade kommit till Jesus om natten. Han hade med sig en blandning av myrra[j] och aloe,[k] omkring hundra pund.[l] 40 De tog Jesu kropp och lindade den med linnebindlar tillsammans med de välluktande salvorna, enligt begravningsseden bland judarna. 41 Intill den plats där Jesus hade blivit korsfäst låg en trädgård, och i trädgården fanns en ny grav, där ännu ingen hade blivit lagd. 42 I den lade de Jesus, eftersom det var judarnas tillredelsedag och graven låg nära.

New King James Version
The Soldiers Mock Jesus(A)
19 So then (B)Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. 2 And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe. 3 [a]Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they (C)struck Him with their hands.
4 Pilate then went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, (D)that you may know that I find no fault in Him.”
Pilate’s Decision
5 Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!”
6 (E)Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!”
Pilate said to them, “You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him.”
7 The Jews answered him, (F)“We have a law, and according to [b]our law He ought to die, because (G)He made Himself the Son of God.”
8 Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid, 9 and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” (H)But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then Pilate said to Him, “Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have [c]power to crucify You, and power to release You?”
11 Jesus answered, (I)“You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore (J)the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”
12 From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. (K)Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.”
13 (L)When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now (M)it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold your King!”
15 But they cried out, “Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!”
Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?”
The chief priests answered, (N)“We have no king but Caesar!”
16 (O)Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. Then they took Jesus [d]and led Him away.
The King on a Cross(P)
17 (Q)And He, bearing His cross, (R)went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, 18 where they crucified Him, and (S)two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center. 19 (T)Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was:
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
21 Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘He said, “I am the King of the Jews.” ’ ”
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23 (U)Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece. 24 They said therefore among themselves, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:
(V)“They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.”
Therefore the soldiers did these things.
Behold Your Mother
25 (W)Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of (X)Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and (Y)the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, (Z)“Woman, behold your son!” 27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her (AA)to his own home.
It Is Finished
28 After this, Jesus, [e]knowing that all things were now accomplished, (AB)that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” 29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and (AC)they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. 30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, (AD)“It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
Jesus’ Side Is Pierced
31 (AE)Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, (AF)that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a (AG)high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first 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. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately (AH)blood and water came out. 35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is (AI)true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may (AJ)believe. 36 For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, (AK)“Not one of His bones shall be broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, (AL)“They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”
Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb(AM)
38 (AN)After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, (AO)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 the body of Jesus. 39 And (AP)Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of (AQ)myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. 40 Then they took the body of Jesus, and (AR)bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. 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. 42 So (AS)there they laid Jesus, (AT)because of the Jews’ Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby.

Jesus Delivered to Be Crucified
19 Then Pilate took Jesus and (A)flogged him. 2 (B)And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe. 3 They came up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands. 4 Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that (C)I find no guilt in him.” 5 So Jesus came out, wearing (D)the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, (E)“Behold the man!” 6 When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, (F)“Take him yourselves and crucify him, for (G)I find no guilt in him.” 7 The Jews[a] answered him, “We have a law, and (H)according to that law he ought to die because (I)he has made himself the Son of God.” 8 When Pilate heard this statement, (J)he was even more afraid. 9 (K)He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, (L)“Where are you from?” But (M)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?” 11 Jesus answered him, (N)“You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore (O)he who delivered me over to you (P)has the greater sin.”
12 From then on (Q)Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. (R)Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.” 13 So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on (S)the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic[b] Gabbatha. 14 Now it was (T)the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour.[c] He said to the Jews, (U)“Behold your King!” 15 They cried out, (V)“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.” 16 (W)So he (X)delivered him over to them to be crucified.
The Crucifixion
So they took Jesus, 17 and (Y)he went out, (Z)bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. 18 (AA)There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. 19 Pilate (AB)also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” 20 Many of the Jews read this inscription, for (AC)the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in 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.’” 22 Pilate answered, (AD)“What I have written I have written.”
23 (AE)When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic.[d] But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, 24 so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” (AF)This was to fulfill the Scripture which says,
(AG)“They divided my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.”
So the soldiers did these things, 25 (AH)but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and (AI)the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, (AJ)“Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to (AK)his own home.
The Death of Jesus
28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now (AL)finished, said ((AM)to fulfill the Scripture), (AN)“I thirst.” 29 A jar full of sour wine stood there, (AO)so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, (AP)“It is finished,” and he bowed his head and (AQ)gave up his spirit.
Jesus' Side Is Pierced
31 Since it was (AR)the day of Preparation, and (AS)so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was (AT)a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other (AU)who had been crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and 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 (AV)blood and water. 35 (AW)He who saw it has borne witness—(AX)his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—(AY)that you also may believe. 36 (AZ)For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: (BA)“Not one of his bones (BB)will be broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, (BC)“They will look on him whom they have pierced.”
Jesus Is Buried
38 (BD)After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly (BE)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. 39 (BF)Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus[e] by night, came (BG)bringing a mixture of (BH)myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds[f] in weight. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and (BI)bound it in (BJ)linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a (BK)garden, and (BL)in the garden a new tomb (BM)in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish (BN)day of Preparation, (BO)since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
