4 Once more Pilate
came out and said to the Chief Priests and Pharisees gathered there, Look, I
am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find him innocent.
|
4 Once more Pilate
came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing him out to
you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”
|
|
5 When Yahusha
came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to
them, Here, this man is innocent!
|
5 When Jesus came
out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them,
“Here is the man!”
|
|
6 As soon as the
Chief Priests and their officials saw Yahusha, the (bloodthirsty) murderers (the
children of The Dragon, the murderer, John 8:41,42) shouted,
Crucify! Crucify! But Pilate answered, You take him and crucify him. I am
not going to kill an innocent man.
|
6 As
soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted,
“Crucify! Crucify!” But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him. As
for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”

7 The Jewish
leaders insisted, We have a law (tradition which nullifies The Law,
there is no Law of Yahuah that says we cannot declare our birthright as His
children!),
and according to that law (human tradition) he must die,
because he claimed to be the Son of God (This charge
was false, they were claiming he said he was a “god” and made himself equal
to Yahuah. When they accused Yahusha of blasphemy, Yahusha denied it and
explained to them we ALL are sons of God John 10:33-35, he never claimed to
be “unique” in that role as Yahuah’s son or that it meant he was a God. He
denied being a demi-god many times Mark 10:18 and said he could not even wrap
his mind around such a thing Philippians 2:5,6 and would never rob Yahuah of
His Glory as the One and ONLY God John 17:3. Yahusha claimed to be The Son
of Man and the Firstborn of the dead NOT Creation or his human birth, but
his Rebirth and Resurrection John 3:1-21 a path we ALL follow, he was
the “first” not the “only”).
|
7 The Jewish
leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die,
because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
|
|
8 When Pilate
heard this, he was even more afraid (because what Yahusha had taught
Pilate during his interrogation that he must die to pay the dowry at the
hands of his brothers, so he did not come as Conquering King to be served,
but as Suffering Servant to die Matthew 20:28),
|
8 When Pilate
heard this, he was even more afraid,
|
|
9 and Pilate
realizing Yahusha’s words concerning The Heavenly Scroll were being fulfilled
before his very eyes, began to suspect Yahusha might be a demi-god (Greeks
believed in demi-gods, it is called Hellenism) … went back inside the palace.
Where do you come from? he asked Yahusha, but Yahusha gave him no answer (he had
already explained that he came from what was written down in The Heavenly
Scroll to Pilate and did not want to fuel Pilate’s misconceptions that he was
a demigod).
|
9 and he went back
inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave
him no answer.
|
|
10 Do you refuse to
speak to me? Pilate said. Don’t you realize I have power either to free you
or to crucify you?
|
10 “Do you refuse
to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free
you or to crucify you?”
|
|
11 Yahusha
answered, As
I was telling you, you would have no power over me if it were not given to
you from what is written in The Heavenly Scroll. Therefore, those who handed
me over to you are guilty of a greater sin (because
Pilate had nothing to do with this, that is why Pilate acknowledged this,
declared him innocent, and later washed his hands of it).
|
11 Jesus answered, “You would have
no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one
who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”
|
|
12 From then on, Pilate
realized Yahusha was truly their King and High Priest and tried
to set Yahusha free, but the Jewish leaders kept manipulating
Pilate shouting, If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone
who claims to be a King opposes Caesar.
|
12 From then on,
Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, “If you
let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king
opposes Caesar.”
|
|
13 When Pilate
heard this manipulation (he was outraged and refused to be
manipulated in that way so), he brought Yahusha out and sat
down on the Judge’s seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha) and (instead of killing Yahusha out of
fear of ‘Caesar’ as the Jews were attempting to manipulate him) rendered his Official
Judgment in the trial of Yahusha (and to the amazement of the Jews,
his official decree was ‘innocent’ and he WAS their King!).
|
13 When Pilate
heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge’s seat at a place
known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha).
|
|
14 It was Passover,
the day of preparing and slaughtering the Passover Lamb, about noon. Pilate
had come to believe that Yahusha was who he claimed and declared his judicial
decree: Here is your (innocent) King.
|
14 It
was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about noon. “Here is your
king,” Pilate said to the Jews.
|
|
15 But they
shouted, Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him! Shall I crucify your
King? Pilate asked. The Chief Priests committed the two evils (in
fulfillment of Jeremiah 2:13, John 15:22-14) and denied The King proclaimed
in The Heavenly Scroll and answered: We have no King but Caesar.
|
15 But
they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!” “Shall I crucify
your king?” Pilate asked.“We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests
answered.
|
|
16 Finally (realizing
this was all laid out in the stars and Yahusha must willingly give his own
life at the hands of those he would later Rule over) Pilate handed
him over to them to be crucified (and washed his hands of the whole
thing as it never had anything to do with him and he never had any control
over any of it but to render Righteous Judgment and testify on behalf of
the Gentiles that Yahusha was The King of the Jews.) So the
soldiers took charge of Yahusha (so that he could willingly offer his
life as the dowry for his Bride).
|
16 Finally Pilate
handed him over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of
Jesus.
|
|
17 Carrying the
wood of his own sacrifice (fulfilling AQUARIUS, the same
reason Yahsaac/Isaac was made to carry the wood of the sacrifice when Abraham
tried to fulfill The Heavenly Scroll with the wrong ‘seed’), he went out
to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha).
|
17 Carrying his own
cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called
Golgotha).
|
|
18 There they
crucified Yahusha (fulfilling LIBRA) with two
others, — one on each side and Yahusha in the middle.
|
18 There they
crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the
middle.
|
|
19 Pilate (who had
come to believe Yahusha was truly their King as the stars proclaim) had a notice
of his Official Judgment prepared (to proclaim
to all mankind in every language) and fastened to the wooden
execution stake. Pilate’s personal testimony and Official Rendering of
Judgement read:
Yahusha the nazarene, the king of the jews.
|
19 Pilate had a
notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth, the king of the jews.
|
|
20 Many of the Jews
read this sign, for the place where Yahusha was crucified was near the city,
and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek.

21 The Chief
Priests of the Pharisees protested to Pilate, Do not write ‘The King of
The Jews,’ this man’s claim to be King of the Jews is false.
|
21 The chief
priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the
Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.”
|
|
22 Pilate answered,
What I have written, I have written because I believe him when he
explained to me he was King, and this was my Official
Rendering of Justice from the Judgement Seat at The Stone
Pavement. At that, the children of The Dragon (Chief
Priests and Pharisees) ceased their protest.
|
21 The chief
priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the
Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.”

|
23 When the
soldiers crucified Yahusha, they took his clothes, dividing them into four
shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment
was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

|

24 Let’s not tear
it, they said to one another. Let’s decide by lot who will get it. This
happened that the Scripture in Psalm 22:18
might be fulfilled that said, ‘They divided my clothes among them and cast
lots for my garment’. So this is what the soldiers did.

25 Near the wooden
stake of Yahusha stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas,
and Mary Magdalene (the ‘Disciple whom he Loved’ or ‘his
beloved’ Wife).
|
25 Near the cross
of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas,
and Mary Magdalene.
|
|
26 When Yahusha saw
his mother there, and Miriam Magdalene, his beloved wife, standing next to
her (Mary Magdalene was his ‘loved one’/Wife, all the other
Disciples had fled for their lives and went into hiding Mark 14:50, his
brothers ran Job 19:13,14, only his Wife stood by his side the entire time,
from their wedding in Bethany to begin his ministry, to anointing him for
burial, to weeping at his feet on the execution stake, to preparing his body
for burial, to mourning at his tomb, and she was the first one Yahusha came
to after his Resurrection because she was “the one he Loved most”), he said to
her, Mother,
here is your daughter (in law),
|
26 When Jesus saw
his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to
her, “Woman,
here is your son,”
|
|
27 and to his wife,
Miriam, he said, Here
is your mother (in law). From that time on, his Mother
was taken in and cared for by Yahusha’s family through marriage (Mary,
Martha, and Lazarus) and taken into their home
(in Bethany where Yahusha lived and spent most of his time
when he was not traveling).
|
27 and to the
disciple, “Here
is your mother.”
From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
|
|
28 Later, knowing
that he had completed the first part of The Heavenly Scroll as The
Suffering Servant, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Yahusha
said, I
am thirsty.
|
28 Later, knowing
that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be
fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
|
|
29 A jar of wine
vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk
of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Yahusha’s lips.

|
|
30 When he had
received the drink, Yahusha said, “It (the
‘fullness of time’ when the Lamb dies at the end of the Age of ARIES
per The Word of Yahuah’s Testimony written in the stars Psalm 119:89) is finished.” With that, he
bowed his head and gave up his Spirit.
|
30 When he had
received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he
bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
|
|
31 It was Passover
when the lambs were sacrificed and prepared, and the next day (that
evening at sunset) was the High Sabbath of The Feast of Unleavened
Bread when the lambs were to be eaten. Because the Jewish leaders did not
want the bodies left on the wooden stakes during the High Sabbath, they asked
Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.
|
31 Now it was the
day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the
Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the
Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.
|
|
32 The soldiers
therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified
with Yahusha, and then those of the other.

came to Yahusha and found that he was already dead, they did not break his
legs.

34 Instead, one of
the soldiers pierced Yahusha’s side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of
blood and water.

his testimony is true.

it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the
truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe.

will be broken”,

scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”

38 Later, Joseph of
Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Yahusha. Now Joseph was a Disciple of
Yahusha, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate’s
permission, he came and took the body away.

accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Yahusha at night.
Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.

42 Because it was
the Passover, they laid Yahusha there because they were required to be in
their homes when the sunset for the High Sabbath of the Feast of Unleavened
Bread to eat the Passover Dinner.

42 Because it was
the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus
there.
