Johannes 19 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

1 Pilatus lod nu Jesus piske, 2 og derefter flettede soldaterne en krans af tornede grene, satte den på hovedet af ham som en slags kongekrone og kastede en purpurrød kappe om ham. 3 Efter tur gik de hen til ham og sagde: „Længe leve jødernes konge!” Samtidig slog de ham i ansigtet. 4 Pilatus gik igen ud til de jødiske ledere, som stod og ventede udenfor. „Jeg vil føre ham ud til jer nu,” sagde han, „for at I skal vide, at jeg ikke finder ham skyldig i nogen forbrydelse.” 5 Så kom Jesus ud med tornekronen på hovedet og purpurkappen over sig. „Se, her er han!” sagde Pilatus. 6 Så snart ypperstepræsterne og det jødiske vagtmandskab så ham, råbte de: „Korsfæst ham, korsfæst ham!” „Så må I selv gøre det!” sagde Pilatus. „Jeg finder ham ikke skyldig!” 7 Jøderne svarede: „Ifølge vores lov skal han dø, fordi han har kaldt sig selv for Guds Søn.” 8 Ved de ord blev Pilatus bange. 9 Han førte Jesus ind i borgen igen og spurgte ham: „Hvor kommer du egentlig fra?” Men Jesus gav ham intet svar. 10 „Hvorfor svarer du mig ikke?” fortsatte Pilatus. „Er du ikke klar over, at jeg har magt til at sætte dig fri og til at lade dig korsfæste?” 11 Jesus svarede ham: „Du havde slet ingen magt over mig, hvis ikke den var givet dig ovenfra. Derfor er der større skyld hos dem, der har overgivet* mig til dig.” 12 Derpå forsøgte Pilatus at få Jesus løsladt, men de jødiske ledere råbte: „Sætter du ham fri, er du ikke kejserens ven! For den, der udråber sig selv til konge, gør oprør mod kejseren.” 13 Da Pilatus hørte det, førte han igen Jesus udenfor og satte sig i dommersædet på den stenlagte terrasse, der på hebraisk kaldes „Gabbata”. 14 Klokken var omkring seks om morgenen,* og det var dagen før den sabbat, som faldt i påskeugen.* Pilatus vendte sig til de jødiske ledere: „Her er jeres konge!” sagde han. 15 „Væk med ham!” skreg de. „Væk med ham—korsfæst ham!” „Ønsker I virkelig, at jeg skal korsfæste jeres konge?” indvendte Pilatus. „Vi har ingen anden konge end kejseren,” råbte ypperstepræsterne. 16 Så udleverede Pilatus Jesus til at blive korsfæstet, og soldaterne førte ham bort.

Jesus bliver korsfæstet og derefter hånet af de jødiske ledere

17 Jesus bar selv sit kors til det sted, der kaldtes „Hovedskalsstedet”, på hebraisk „Golgata”. 18 Dér korsfæstede de ham. Samtidig korsfæstede de to andre mænd, og deres kors blev rejst, et på hver sin side af Jesu kors. 19 Pilatus havde fået lavet et skilt med teksten: „Jesus fra Nazaret—jødernes konge”, og det blev anbragt på korset. 20 Teksten var skrevet på hebraisk, latin og græsk, og skiltet blev læst af mange mennesker, for stedet, hvor Jesus blev korsfæstet, lå tæt ved byen. 21 Men ypperstepræsterne henvendte sig til Pilatus og sagde: „Du må ændre teksten på det skilt. I stedet for ordene ‚jødernes konge’ skal du skrive: ‚Denne mand påstod at være jødernes konge.’ ” 22 „Hvad jeg skrev, det skrev jeg!” svarede Pilatus kort. 23 Da soldaterne havde korsfæstet Jesus, fordelte de fire af hans fem klædningsstykker imellem sig—et stykke til hver. Men Jesu kjortel var uden sammensyninger, vævet i ét stykke fra øverst til nederst. 24 Da sagde de: „Det er en skam at rive den i stykker. Lad os hellere kaste lod om, hvem der skal have den.” Da soldaterne gjorde det, gik endnu et skriftord i opfyldelse: „De delte mine klæder mellem sig og trak lod om min kjortel.”* 25 Imens det foregik, stod Jesu mor og hans moster i nærheden af korset. Den Maria, som var gift med Klopas, og Maria Magdalene var der også. 26 Da Jesus så sin mor stå ved siden af den discipel, som han holdt særlig meget af, sagde han til hende: „Han skal være din søn.” 27 Og til disciplen sagde han: „Hun skal være din mor.” Fra da af tog den discipel sig af hende.

Jesus dør

28 Jesus vidste, at alt nu var fuldført. Så sagde han: „Jeg er tørstig.” Det blev opfyldelsen af endnu et skriftord.* 29 Nu stod der en beholder med billig, sur vin i nærheden. En af de tilstedeværende soldater dyppede en svamp i vinen, satte den på en stang og rakte den op til Jesus. 30 Da han havde smagt på den sure vin, sagde han: „Det er fuldbragt!” og han bøjede hovedet og udåndede. 31 Alt det her fandt sted dagen før den højhellige påskesabbat. De jødiske ledere ville gerne undgå, at de tre korsfæstede mænd blev hængende til offentlig beskuelse sabbatten over. De bad derfor Pilatus om at give ordre til, at mændenes ben skulle brækkes, så de hurtigt ville dø. 32 Så kom soldaterne og brækkede benene på de to mænd, der var korsfæstet sammen med Jesus, 33 men da de kom til Jesus, så de, at han allerede var død. Derfor brækkede de ikke hans ben, 34 men en af soldaterne stak i stedet et spyd i siden på ham, og der flød vand og blod ud. 35 Det, jeg her har fortalt, har jeg set med mine egne øjne, og alt, hvad jeg siger, er sandt. Jeg kan stå inde for, at det er sandhed, og jeg fortæller det, for at I skal tro det. 36 Også den sidste hændelse var en opfyldelse af Skriftens ord, der siger: „Ingen af hans knogler må brækkes,”* 37 og: „De vil se på ham, som de har gennemboret.”*

Jesus lægges i graven

38 Kort efter henvendte Josef fra Arimatæa sig til Pilatus. Josef var en af Jesu disciple, men ikke åbenlyst, for han var bange for de jødiske ledere. Han bad om tilladelse til at tage Jesu lig ned, og det gav Pilatus ham lov til. Da han tog det ned, 39 var Nikodemus også med. Det var ham, der var kommet til Jesus om natten. Han medbragte 30 kilo salve, en blanding af myrra og aloe. 40 De to mænd svøbte Jesu lig ind i linnedklæder sammen med den vellugtende salve, sådan som det var skik ved en jødisk begravelse. 41 Det sted, hvor Jesus blev korsfæstet, lå i nærheden af en have, hvor der var en nyudhugget grav, som endnu aldrig var blevet brugt. 42 Da de skulle skynde sig at blive færdige, inden sabbatten begyndte ved solnedgang, og da den grav lå i nærheden, lagde de ham i den.

Jesus Delivered to Be Crucified

1 Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him. 2 And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe. 3 They came up to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck him with their hands. 4 Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him.” 5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!” 6 When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him.” 7 The Jews* answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God.” 8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid. 9 He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate said to him, “You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?” 11 Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.” 12 From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.” 13 So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic* Gabbatha. 14 Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour.* He said to the Jews, “Behold your King!” 15 They cried out, “Away 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.”

The Crucifixion

16 So he delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus, 17 and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. 19 Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” 20 Many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek. 21 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’” 22 Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written.” 23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic.* But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, 24 so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture which says, “They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.” So the soldiers did these things, 25 but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

The Death of Jesus

28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.” 29 A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Jesus’ Side Is Pierced

31 Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews 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, and of the other who had been crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and 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 at once there came out blood and water. 35 He who saw it has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—that you also may believe. 36 For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they have pierced.”

Jesus Is Buried

38 After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body. 39 Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus* by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds* in weight. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths 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 new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
