1Rejoice, King of the Jews! and
aslapped Him.
John 19
:4
19:4
And Pilate went outside again and said to them, Behold, I am bringing Him out to you that you may know that I find
ano fault in Him.
John 19

Then Jesus came out, wearing the thorny crown and the purple garment. And he said to them, Behold, the man!
John 19
:6
19:6
When therefore the chief priests and the attendants saw Him, they cried out, saying, Crucify! Crucify! Pilate said to them, You take Him and crucify

anot find fault in Him.
John 19
:7
19:7
The Jews answered him, We have a
alaw, and according to that law He ought to die because He
bmade Himself the Son of God.
John 19

John 19

19:9
And he entered into the
1praetorium again and said to Jesus, Where are You from? But Jesus gave him no answer.
John 19
:10
19:10
Therefore Pilate said to Him, You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You and I have authority to crucify You?
John 19
:11
19:11
Jesus answered him, You would have no authority against Me if it were not
agiven to you from above; for this
reason, he who has delivered Me to you has the greater sin.
John 19
:12
19:12
From then on, Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, If you release this man, you are not a friend of Caesar; every one who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.
John 19
:13
19:13
Pilate therefore, when he heard these words, brought Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat in a place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew,
1Gabbatha.
John 19

John 19

19:15
They cried out then, Take
Him away! Take
Him away! Crucify Him! Pilate said to them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king except Caesar.
John 19
:16

1Hebrew, in Latin,
and in Greek.
John 19

John 19

John 19
:24
19:24
They said therefore to one another, Let us not tear it, but let us cast lots for it
to see whose it shall be, that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says,
a"They divided My garments among themselves, and for My clothing they cast lots.'' So then the soldiers
1did these things.
John 19
:25

1Behold, your mother. And from that hour the disciple took her into his own

and so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said,

ablood and
1bwater.
John 19

19:35
And he who has seen
this has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he says what is true, that you also may believe.
John 19
:36
19:36

a"No
2bone of His shall be broken.''
John 19

a"They shall look on Him whom they
bpierced.''
