JOHN

The Crucifixion (Part 1)

Pastor Scott Brenner John 19:17-24
[19:17] And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,
[19:18] where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.
[19:19] Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
[19:20] Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
[19:21] Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'He said, "I am the King of the Jews."'"
[19:22] Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
[19:23] Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.
[19:24] They said therefore among themselves, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: "They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots." Therefore the soldiers did these things.
