1214So Pilate [Armed with javelin] then took Yeshua [Salvation], and flogged him.
2The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.
3They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews [Praisers]!” and they kept slapping him.
4Then Pilate [Armed with javelin] went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”
5Yeshua [Salvation] therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Pilate [Armed with javelin] said to them, “Behold, the man!”
6When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate [Armed with javelin] said to them, “Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.”
7215The Jews answered him, “We have a law (of God), 216and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.”
8When therefore Pilate [Armed with javelin] heard this saying, he was more afraid.
9He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Yeshua [Salvation], “Where are you from?” But Yeshua [Salvation] gave him no answer.
10Pilate [Armed with javelin] therefore said to him, “Are not you speaking to me? Don’t you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?”
11Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater abstract sin ·miss the mark·.”
12At this, Pilate [Armed with javelin] was seeking to release him, but the Jews [Praisers] cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s [Ruler]’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar [Ruler]!”
13When Pilate [Armed with javelin] therefore heard these words, he brought Yeshua [Salvation] out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement,” but in Hebrew [Immigrant], “Gabbatha.”
14Now it was the Preparation Day for Pesac ·Passover· (Nissan 14), at about three o'clock in the afternoon. He said to the Jews [Praisers], “Behold, your King!”
15They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate [Armed with javelin] said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar [Ruler]!”
16So then he delivered him to them to be nailed to the execution-stake. So they took Yeshua [Salvation] and led him away.
17He went out, bearing his execution-stake, to the place called “Skull,” which is called in Hebrew [Immigrant], “Golgotha [Place of skull],”
18where they nailed him to the stake, and with him two others, on either side one, and Yeshua [Salvation] in the middle.
19Pilate [Armed with javelin] wrote a title also, and put it on the execution-stake. There was written, “Yeshua of Nazareth [Salvation of Branch, Separated one], The King of The Jews [Praisers] .”
20217Therefore many of the Jews [Praisers] read this title, for the place where Yeshua [Salvation] was executed on the stake was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew [Immigrant], in Latin, and in Greek.
21The chief priests of the Jews [Praisers] therefore said to Pilate [Armed with javelin], “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews [Praisers],’ but, ‘he said, I am King of the Jews [Praisers].’”
22Pilate [Armed with javelin] answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
23218Then the soldiers, when they had nailed Yeshua [Salvation] to the stake, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24Then they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They divided my garments among them. For my cloak they cast lots.” 219Therefore the soldiers did these things.
25But there were standing by the execution-stake of Yeshua [Salvation] his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary [Rebellion] the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala [Rebellion of City tower].
26Therefore when Yeshua [Salvation] saw his mother, and the disciple whom he felt agapao ·totally devoted love· for standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”
27Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
28220After this, Yeshua [Salvation], seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.”
29221Now a vessel full of vinegar was set; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar 222on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.
30When Yeshua [Salvation] therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” 223He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.
31224Therefore the Jews [Praisers], because it was the Preparation Day (Nissan 14), so that the bodies would not remain on the execution-stake on the festival Sabbath ·To cease· (for that Sabbath ·To cease· was a special one), 225asked of Pilate [Armed with javelin] that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32226Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was placed on execution-stakes with him;
33227but when they came to Yeshua [Salvation], and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.
34228229230However one of the soldiers 231pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is trutheree. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may trust.
36For these things happened, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “Not one of his bones will be broken.” 232
37Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.” 233
38After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea [May he add of Lofty place], being a disciple of Yeshua [Salvation], but secretly for fear of the Jews [Praisers], asked of Pilate [Armed with javelin] that he might take away Yeshua's [Salvation]'s body. Pilate [Armed with javelin] gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.
39Nicodemus [Victory people], who at first came to Yeshua [Salvation] by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about one hundred Roman pounds [72.5 lb; 3,289 kg].
40So they took Yeshua's [Salvation]'s body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews [Praisers] is to bury.
41Now in the place where he was executed on the stake there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.
42Then because of the Judean [Person from Praise] Preparation Day (Nissan 14) (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Yeshua [Salvation] there.
