THE CONDEMNATION OF JESUS. The scourging of Jesus:... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN PILATE THEREFORE TOOK JESUS AND SCOURGED HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THE SOLDIERS PLATTED A CROWN OF THORNS, AND PUT IT ON HIS HEAD; AND THEY PUT ON HIM A PURPLE ROBE... [ Continue Reading ]
AND SAID, HAIL, KING OF THE JEWS! AND THEY SMOTE HIM WITH THEIR HANDS.... [ Continue Reading ]
PILATE THEREFORE WENT FORTH AGAIN AND SAITH UNTO THEM, BEHOLD, I BRING HIM FORTH TO YOU THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT I FIND NO FAULT IN HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN CAME JESUS FORTH, WEARING THE CROWN OF THORNS AND THE PURPLE ROBE. AND PILATE SAITH UNTO THEM, BEHOLD THE MAN!... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEN THE CHIEF PRIESTS, THEREFORE, AND OFFICERS SAW HIM, THEY CRIED OUT, SAYING, CRUCIFY HIM, CRUCIFY HIM. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye Him and crucify Him; for I find no fault in Him. Just as Pilate, throughout the proceedings, had shown himself a weak and vacillating fool, without the faintest... [ Continue Reading ]
THE JEWS ANSWERED HIM, WE HAVE A LAW, AND BY OUR LAW HE OUGHT TO DIE, BECAUSE HE MADE HIMSELF THE SON OF GOD.... [ Continue Reading ]
Pilate again examines Jesus:... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEN PILATE THEREFORE HEARD THAT SAYING, HE WAS THE MORE AFRAID,... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WENT AGAIN INTO THE JUDGMENT-HALL, AND SAITH UNTO JESUS, WHENCE ART THOU? BUT JESUS GAVE HIM NO ANSWER.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAITH PILATE UNTO HIM, SPEAKEST THOU NOT UNTO ME? KNOWEST THOU NOT THAT I HAVE POWER TO CRUCIFY THEE, AND HAVE POWER TO RELEASE THEE?... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS ANSWERED, THOU COULDEST HAVE NO POWER AT ALL AGAINST ME, EXCEPT IT WERE GIVEN THEE FROM ABOVE; THEREFORE HE THAT DELIVERED ME UNTO THEE HATH THE GREATER SIN. AND FROM THENCEFORTH PILATE SOUGHT TO RELEASE HIM. When Pilate made his declaration before the people of his belief in the innocence of... [ Continue Reading ]
The condemnation:... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT THE JEWS CRIED OUT, SAYING, IF THOU LET THIS MAN GO, THOU ART NOT CAESAR'S FRIEND; WHOSOEVER MAKETH HIMSELF A KING SPEAKETH AGAINST CAESAR.... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEN PILATE THEREFORE HEARD THAT SAYING, HE BROUGHT JESUS FORTH, AND SAT DOWN IN THE JUDGMENT-SEAT IN A PLACE THAT IS CALLED THE PAVEMENT, BUT IN THE HEBREW, GABBATHA.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND IT WAS THE PREPARATION OF THE PASSOVER AND ABOUT THE SIXTH HOUR; AND HE SAITH UNTO THE JEWS, BEHOLD YOUR KING!... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT THEY CRIED OUT, AWAY WITH HIM, AWAY WITH HIM, CRUCIFY HIM! PILATE SAITH UNTO THEM, SHALL I CRUCIFY YOUR KING? THE CHIEF PRIESTS ANSWERED, WE HAVE NO KING BUT CAESAR.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN DELIVERED HE HIM THEREFORE UNTO THEM TO BE CRUCIFIED. While Pilate was considering ways and means to effect the release of Jesus, the leaders of the Jews had not been idle. They now gave a new turn to the case by having the mob cry out to Pilate: If thou releasest this man, thou art not friendl... [ Continue Reading ]
THE CRUCIFIXION.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE, BEARING HIS CROSS, WENT FORTH INTO A PLACE CALLED THE PLACE OF A SKULL, WHICH IS CALLED IN THE HEBREW GOLGOTHA;... [ Continue Reading ]
WHERE THEY CRUCIFIED HIM, AND TWO OTHER WITH HIM, ON EITHER SIDE ONE, AND JESUS IN THE MIDST.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND PILATE WROTE A TITLE, AND PUT IT ON THE CROSS. AND THE WRITING WAS, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.... [ Continue Reading ]
THIS TITLE THEN READ MANY OF THE JEWS; FOR THE PLACE WHERE JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED WAS NIGH TO THE CITY; AND IT WAS WRITTEN IN HEBREW AND GREEK AND LATIN.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAID THE CHIEF PRIESTS OF THE JEWS TO PILATE, WRITE NOT, THE KING OF THE JEWS; BUT THAT HE SAID, I AM THE KING OF THE JEWS.... [ Continue Reading ]
PILATE ANSWERED, WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN I HAVE WRITTEN. John omits the account of the insults and cruelties which the soldiers inflicted upon Christ. See Matthew 27:26; Mark 15:16. Death by crucifixion was the sentence, the most shameful death known to the Romans, one meted out only to criminals of the... [ Continue Reading ]
The soldiers cast lots:... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN THE SOLDIERS, WHEN THEY HAD CRUCIFIED JESUS, TOOK HIS GARMENTS, AND MADE FOUR PARTS, TO EVERY SOLDIER A PART; AND ALSO HIS COAT NOW THE COAT WAS WITHOUT SEAM, WOVEN FROM THE TOP THROUGHOUT.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEY SAID, THEREFORE, AMONG THEMSELVES, LET US NOT REND IT, BUT CAST LOTS FOR IT WHOSE IT SHALL BE, THAT THE SCRIPTURE MIGHT BE FULFILLED WHICH SAITH, THEY PARTED MY RAIMENT AMONG THEM, AND FOR MY VESTURE THEY DID CAST LOTS. THESE THINGS, THEREFORE, THE SOLDIERS DID. The happenings that transpired u... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW THERE STOOD BY THE CROSS OF JESUS HIS MOTHER AND HIS MOTHER'S SISTER, MARY, THE WIFE OF CLEOPHAS, AND MARY MAGDALENE.... [ Continue Reading ]
Christ's care for His mother:... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEN JESUS THEREFORE SAW HIS MOTHER, AND THE DISCIPLE STANDING BY WHOM HE LOVED, HE SAITH UNTO HIS MOTHER, WOMAN, BEHOLD THY SON!... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAITH HE TO THE DISCIPLE, BEHOLD THY MOTHER! AND FROM THAT HOUR THAT DISCIPLE TOOK HER UNTO HIS OWN HOME. A beautiful evidence of the Savior's filial love and care! In the midst of the excruciating agonies of the body and the still more horrible tortures of the soul He yet finds time to think o... [ Continue Reading ]
AFTER THIS, JESUS KNOWING THAT ALL THINGS WERE NOW ACCOMPLISHED, THAT THE SCRIPTURE MIGHT BE FULFILLED, SAITH, I THIRST.... [ Continue Reading ]
The death of Jesus:... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW THERE WAS SET A VESSEL FULL OF VINEGAR; AND THEY FILLED A SPONGE WITH VINEGAR, AND PUT IT UPON HYSSOP, AND PUT IT TO HIS MOUTH.... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEN JESUS, THEREFORE, HAD RECEIVED THE VINEGAR, HE SAID, IT IS FINISHED; AND HE BOWED HIS HEAD, AND GAVE UP THE GHOST. Again and again the evangelists bring out this fact that the suffering and death of Jesus took place in accordance with the will and counsel of God and with the sayings of the prop... [ Continue Reading ]
THE BURIAL OF JESUS. The piercing of the side:... [ Continue Reading ]
THE JEWS, THEREFORE, BECAUSE IT WAS THE PREPARATION, THAT THE BODIES SHOULD NOT REMAIN UPON THE CROSS ON THE SABBATH-DAY, (FOR THAT SABBATH-DAY WAS AN HIGH DAY,) BESOUGHT PILATE THAT THEIR LEGS MIGHT BE BROKEN, AND THAT THEY MIGHT BE TAKEN AWAY.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN CAME THE SOLDIERS, AND BRAKE THE LEGS OF THE FIRST, AND OF THE OTHER WHICH WAS CRUCIFIED WITH HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT WHEN THEY CAME TO JESUS AND SAW THAT HE WAS DEAD ALREADY, THEY BRAKE NOT HIS LEGS;... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT ONE OF THE SOLDIERS WITH A SPEAR PIERCED HIS SIDE, AND FORTHWITH CAME THERE OUT BLOOD AND WATER.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE THAT SAW IT BARE RECORD, AND HIS RECORD IS TRUE; AND HE KNOWETH THAT HE SAITH TRUE, THAT YE MIGHT BELIEVE.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR THESE THINGS WERE DONE THAT THE SCRIPTURE SHOULD BE FULFILLED, A BONE OF HIM SHALL NOT BE BROKEN.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND AGAIN ANOTHER SCRIPTURE SAITH, THEY SHALL LOOK ON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED. The Jews, that is, their spiritual leaders, concerned, as usual, more about the keeping of the traditions of their elders, in which they had applied Deuteronomy 21:23, than about committing murder and other heinous crimes,... [ Continue Reading ]
AND AFTER THIS, JOSEPH OF ARIMATHAEA, BEING A DISCIPLE OF JESUS, BUT SECRETLY FOR FEAR OF THE JEWS, BESOUGHT PILATE THAT HE MIGHT TAKE AWAY THE BODY OF JESUS; AND PILATE GAVE HIM LEAVE. HE CAME, THEREFORE, AND TOOK THE BODY OF JESUS.... [ Continue Reading ]
The burial of Jesus:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THERE CAME ALSO NICODEMUS, WHICH AT THE FIRST CAME TO JESUS BY NIGHT, AND BROUGHT A MIXTURE OF MYRRH AND ALOES, ABOUT AN HUNDRED POUND WEIGHT.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN TOOK THEY THE BODY OF JESUS, AND WOUND IT IN LINEN CLOTHES WITH THE SPICES, AS THE MANNER OF THE JEWS IS TO BURY.... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW, IN THE PLACE WHERE HE WAS CRUCIFIED THERE WAS A GARDEN, AND IN THE GARDEN A NEW SEPULCHER, WHEREIN WAS NEVER MAN YET LAID.... [ Continue Reading ]
THERE LAID THEY JESUS, THEREFORE, BECAUSE OF THE JEWS' PREPARATION DAY; FOR THE SEPULCHER WAS NIGH AT HAND. When, in the hour of trial, the apostles failed their Lord, other disciples, up till then almost unknown, boldly professed their allegiance to the hated Nazarene. One of these men was Joseph,...
