Yahukanun (John) — 19
YAHUSHA Sentenced to Death
1 Then Pilate had 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA flogged with a lead-tipped whip.
2 The soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA‘s head, and they put a purple robe on Him.
3 “Hail! King of the Yahudym!” they mocked, as they slapped 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA on His face.
4 Pilate went outside again and said to the people, “I am going to bring 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA out to you now, but understand clearly that I find Him not guilty.”
5 Then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said, “Look, here is the man!”
6 When they saw Him, the leading Kuhanym and Temple guards began shouting, “Impale Him! Impale Him!”
“Take him yourselves and Impale him,” Pilate said. “I find him not guilty.”
7 The Yahudym leaders replied, “By our law he ought to die because He called himself the Son of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.”
8 When Pilate heard this, he was more frightened than ever.
9 He took 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA back into the headquarters again and asked Him, “Where are you from?” But 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA gave no answer.
10 “Why do you not talk to me?” Pilate demanded. “Do you not realize that I have the power to release you or impale you?”
11 Then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA said, “You have no power over Me at all, unless it were given to you from above. So the one who handed Me over to you has the greater sin.”
12 Then Pilate tried to release 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA, but the Yahudym leaders shouted, “If you release this man, you are no ‘friend of Caesar.’ Anyone who declares himself a king is a rebel against Caesar.”
13 When they said this, Pilate brought 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA out to them again. Then Pilate sat down on the judgment seat on the platform that is called the Stone Pavement (in Abarym, Gabbatha).
14 It was now about sixth hour on the day of preparation for the Passakh. And Pilate said to the people, “Look, here is your king!”
15 “Away with him,” they yelled. “Away with him! Impale him!” “What? Impale your king?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” the leading Kuhanym shouted back.
16 Then Pilate turned 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA over to them to be impaled. So they took 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA away.
17 Carrying the execution stake by himself, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA went to the place called Place of the Skull (in Abarym, Gulgutha).
18 There they nailed 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA to the execution stake. Two others were impaled with 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA, one on either side, with 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA between them.
19 And Pilate posted a sign on the execution stake that read, “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA of Nazarym, the King of the Yahudym.”
20 The place where 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA was impaled was near the city, and the sign was written in Abarym, Latin, and Greek, so that many people could read it.
21 Then the leading Kuhanym objected and said to Pilate, “Change it from ‘The King of the Yahudym’ to ‘He said, I am King of the Yahudym.’”
22 Pilate replied, “No, what I have written, I have written.”
23 When the soldiers had impaled 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA, they divided His clothes among the four of them. They also took His robe, but it was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24 So they said, “Rather than tearing it apart, let’s throw dice for it.” This fulfilled the Scripture that says, “They divided my garments among themselves and threw dice for my clothing.” So that is what they did.
25 Standing near the execution stake were the mother of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA, and his mother’s sister, Maryam (the wife of Clupas), and Maryam Magdalyn.
26 When 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA saw His mother standing there beside the Talmidym He loved, He said to her, “Dear woman, here is your son.”
27 And He said to this Talmidym, “Here is your mother.” And from then on this Talmidym took her into his home.
The Death of YAHUSHA
28 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA knew that His mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture He said, “I am thirsty.”
29 A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips.
30 When 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA had tasted it, He said, “It is finished!” Then He bowed His head and released His Ruach.
31 It was the day of preparation, and the Yahudym leaders did not want the bodies hanging there the next day, which was the Sabbath (and a very special Sabbath, because it was the Passakh). So they asked Pilate to hasten their deaths by ordering that their legs be broken. Then their bodies could be taken down.
32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men impaled with 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA.
33 But when they came to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA, they saw that He was already dead, so they did not break His legs.
34 One of the soldiers, however, pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.
35 (This report is from an eyewitness giving an accurate account. He speaks the truth so that you also may continue to believe.)
36 These things happened in fulfillment of the Scriptures that say, “Not one of His bones will be broken,”
37 and “They will look on the one they pierced.”
The Burial of YAHUSHA
38 Afterward Ya'asaf of Arimathaa, who had been a secret Talmidym of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA (because he feared the Yahudym leaders), asked Pilate for permission to take down the body of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA. When Pilate gave permission, Ya'asaf came and took the body away.
39 With him came Nicudamus, the man who had come to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA at night, he brought about seventy five pounds of perfumed ointment made from myrrh and aloes.
40 Following Yahudym burial custom, they wrapped the body of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA with the spices in long sheets of linen cloth.
41 The place where He was impaled is near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before.
42 And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Yahudym Passakh and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA there.
