Chapter 19 of John—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Pilate then took Jesus and [a]1scourged Him.
  2. 2And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him;
  3. and they began to come up to Him and say, “3Hail, King of the Jews!” and to 4give Him slaps in the face.
  4. Pilate 5came out again and *said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that 6I find no guilt in Him.”
  5. Jesus then came out, 7wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate *said to them, “Behold, the Man!”
  6. So when the chief priests and the 8officers saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate *said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for 9I find no guilt in Him.”
  7. The Jews answered him, “10We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He 11made Himself out to be the Son of God.”
  8. ¶ Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid;
  9. and he 12entered into the [b]Praetorium again and *said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But 13Jesus gave him no answer.
  10. So 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?”
  11. Jesus answered, “14You would have no authority [c]over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason 15he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”
  12. As a result of this Pilate [d]made efforts to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, “16If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king [e]opposes Caesar.”
  13. ¶ Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and 17sat down on the judgment seat at a place called [f]The Pavement, but 18in [g]Hebrew, Gabbatha.
  14. Now it was 19the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the [h]20sixth hour. And he *said to the Jews, “Behold, 21your King!”
  15. So they cried out, “22Away 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. ¶ So he then 23handed Him over to them to be crucified.
  17. 24They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, [i]25bearing His own cross, to the place called 26the Place of a Skull, which is called 27in [j]Hebrew, Golgotha.
  18. There they crucified Him, and with Him 28two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between.
  19. Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, “29JESUS THE NAZARENE, 30THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
  20. Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written 31in [k]Hebrew, Latin and in Greek.
  21. So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘32The King of the Jews’; but that He said, ‘I am 33King of the Jews.’”
  22. Pilate answered, “34What I have written I have written.”
  23. ¶ Then 35the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made 36four parts, a part to every soldier and also the [l]tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven [m]in one piece.
  24. So they said to one another, “37Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be”; 38this was to fulfill the Scripture: “THEY 39DIVIDED MY OUTER GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY CAST [n]LOTS.”
  25. Therefore the soldiers did these things.
    40But standing by the cross of Jesus were 41His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and 42Mary Magdalene.
  26. When Jesus then saw His mother, and 43the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He *said to His mother, “44Woman, behold, your son!”
  27. Then He *said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her into 45his own household.
  28. ¶ After this, Jesus, 46knowing that all things had already been accomplished, 47to fulfill the Scripture, *said, “48I am thirsty.”
  29. A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so 49they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth.
  30. Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “50It is finished!” And He bowed His head and 51gave up His spirit.
  31. ¶ Then the Jews, because it was 52the day of preparation, so that 53the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath ([o]for that Sabbath was a 54high day), 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 man and of the other who was 55crucified with Him;
  33. but coming to Jesus, when they 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 56blood and water came out.
  35. And he who has seen has 57testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
  36. For these things came to pass 58to fulfill the Scripture, “59NOT A BONE OF HIM SHALL BE [p]BROKEN.”
  37. And again another Scripture says, “60THEY SHALL LOOK ON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED.”
  38. 61After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a 62secret one for 63fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.
  39. 64Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, 65bringing a [q]mixture of 66myrrh and aloes, about a 67hundred [r]pounds weight.
  40. So they took the body of Jesus and 68bound it in 69linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
  41. Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a 70new tomb 71in which no one had yet been laid.
  42. Therefore because of the Jewish day of 72preparation, since the tomb was 73nearby, they laid Jesus there.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
