Chapter 19 of JohnNew World Translation (NWT)



  1. ¶ At that time, therefore, Pilate took Jesus and scourged him.1
  2. And the soldiers braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him with a purple outer garment;2
  3. and they began coming up to him and saying: “Good day, you King of the Jews!” Also, they would give him slaps in the face.3
  4. And Pilate went outside again and said to them: “See! I bring him outside to YOU in order for YOU to know I find no fault in him.”4
  5. Accordingly Jesus came outside, wearing the thorny crown and the purple outer garment. And he said to them: “Look! The man!”[a]
  6. However, when the chief priests and the officers saw him, they shouted, saying: “Impale [him]![b] Impale [him]!”5 Pilate said to them: “Take him yourselves and impale him, for I do not find any fault in him.”6
  7. The Jews answered him: “We have a law,7 and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself God’s son.”8
  8. ¶ When, therefore, Pilate heard this saying, he became more fearful;
  9. and he entered into the governor’s palace again and said to Jesus: “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.9
  10. Hence Pilate said to him: “Are you not speaking to me?10 Do you not know I have authority to release you and I have authority to impale you?”
  11. Jesus answered him: “You would have no authority[c] at all against me unless it had been granted to you from above.[d]11 This is why the man that handed me over to you has greater sin.”
  12. ¶ For this reason Pilate kept on seeking how to release him. But the Jews shouted, saying: “If you release this [man], you are not a friend of Caesar.[e] Every man making himself a king speaks against Caesar.”12
  13. Therefore Pilate, after hearing these words, brought Jesus outside, and he sat down on a judgment seat in a place called The Stone Pavement, but, in Hebrew, Gabʹba·tha.
  14. Now it was preparation13 of the passover; it was about the sixth hour.[f] And he said to the Jews: “See! YOUR king!”
  15. However, they shouted: “Take [him] away! Take [him] away! Impale him!” Pilate said to them: “Shall I impale YOUR king?” The chief priests answered: “We have no king but Caesar.”14
  16. At that time, therefore, he handed him over to them to be impaled.15
    ¶ Then they took charge of Jesus.
  17. And, bearing the torture stake[g] for himself,16 he went out17 to the so-called Skull Place,[h] which is called Golʹgo·tha[i] in Hebrew;18
  18. and there they impaled him,19 and two other [men] with him, one on this side and one on that, but Jesus in the middle.20
  19. Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the torture stake. It was written: “Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ the King of the Jews.”[j]21
  20. Therefore many of the Jews read this title, because the place where Jesus was impaled was near the city;22 and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek.
  21. However, the chief priests of the Jews began to say to Pilate: “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that he said, ‘I am King of the Jews.’”
  22. Pilate answered: “What I have written I have written.”
  23. ¶ Now when the soldiers had impaled Jesus, they took his outer garments and made four parts, for each soldier a part, and the inner garment. But the inner garment was without a seam, being woven from the top throughout its length.23
  24. Therefore they said to one another: “Let us not tear it, but let us determine by lots over it whose it will be.” This was that the scripture might be fulfilled: “They apportioned my outer garments among themselves, and upon my apparel they cast lots.”24 And so the soldiers really did these things.
  25. ¶ By the torture stake of Jesus, however, there were standing his mother25 and the sister of his mother; Mary26 the wife of Cloʹpas, and Mary Magʹda·lene.27
  26. Therefore Jesus, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved[k]28 standing by, said to his mother: “Woman, see! Your son!”
  27. Next he said to the disciple: “See! Your mother!” And from that hour on the disciple took her to his own home.
  28. ¶ After this, when Jesus knew that by now all things had been accomplished, in order that the scripture might be accomplished he said: “I am thirsty.”29
  29. A vessel was sitting there full of sour wine. Therefore they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a hyssop [stalk] and brought it to his mouth.30
  30. When, now, he had received the sour wine, Jesus said: “It has been accomplished!”31 and, bowing his head, he delivered up [his] spirit.[l]32
  31. ¶ Then the Jews, since it was Preparation,33 in order that the bodies might not remain34 upon the torture stakes on the Sabbath, (for the day of that Sabbath was a great one,)35 requested Pilate to have their legs broken and the [bodies][m] taken away.
  32. The soldiers came, therefore, and broke the legs of the first [man] and those of the other [man] that had been impaled with him.
  33. But on coming to Jesus, as they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
  34. Yet one of the soldiers jabbed his side with a spear,36 and immediately blood and water came out.
  35. And he that has seen [it] has borne witness, and his witness is true, and that man knows he tells true things, in order that YOU also may believe.37
  36. In fact, these things took place in order for the scripture to be fulfilled: “Not a bone of his will be crushed.”38
  37. And, again, a different scripture says: “They will look to the One whom they pierced.”39
  38. ¶ Now after these things Joseph from Ar·i·ma·theʹa, who was a disciple of Jesus but a secret one out of [his] fear of the Jews,40 requested Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission.41 Therefore he came and took his body away.42
  39. Nic·o·deʹmus also, the man that came to him in the night the first time, came bringing a roll[n] of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds[o] [of it].43
  40. So they took the body of Jesus and bound it up with bandages with the spices,44 just the way the Jews have the custom of preparing for burial.
  41. Incidentally, at the place where he was impaled there was a garden, and in the garden a new memorial tomb,45 in which no one had ever yet been laid.
  42. There, then, on account of the preparation46 of the Jews, they laid Jesus, because the memorial tomb was nearby.

    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!
