Yochanan 19:16-31 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

16. So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Yeshua and led him away.

17. He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called “The Place of a Skull”, which is called in Hebrew, “Golgotha”,

18. where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Yeshua in the middle.

19. Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, “YESHUA OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

20. Therefore many of the Judeans read this title, for the place where Yeshua was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

21. The chief priests of the Judeans therefore said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘he said, “I am King of the Jews.”’”

22. Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

23. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Yeshua, 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.

24. Then 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 parted my garments among them.For my cloak they cast lots.”Therefore the soldiers did these things.

25. But standing by Yeshua’s cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Miriam the wife of Klofah, and Miriam Magdalene.

26. Therefore when Yeshua saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!”

27. Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.

28. After this, Yeshua, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.”

29. Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.

30. When Yeshua therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

31. Therefore the Judeans, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
