So they took Jesus, 17\u00a0 and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. 18\u00a0 There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. 19\u00a0 Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, \u201cJesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.\u201d 20\u00a0 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\u00a0 So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, \u201cDo not write, \u2018The King of the Jews,\u2019 but rather, \u2018This man said, I am King of the Jews.\u2019\u201d 22\u00a0 Pilate answered, \u201cWhat I have written I have written.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>THE SOLDIERS<br \/>\nTHAT GAMBLED FOR CLOTHING<br \/>\n<\/u>John 19:23-24 (ESV)<\/strong><br \/>\n23\u00a0 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\u00a0 so they said to one another, \u201cLet us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.\u201d This was to fulfill the Scripture which says, \u201cThey divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.\u201d So the soldiers did these things,<\/p>\n<p><strong>Psalm 22:14-18 (ESV)<\/strong><br \/>\n14\u00a0 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast; 15\u00a0 my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death. 16\u00a0 For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet\u2014 17\u00a0 I can count all my bones\u2014 they stare and gloat over me; 18\u00a0 they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luke 23:39-43 (ESV)<\/strong><br \/>\n39\u00a0 One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, \u201cAre you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!\u201d<br \/>\n40\u00a0 But the other rebuked him, saying, \u201cDo you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41\u00a0 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.\u201d<br \/>\n42\u00a0 And he said, \u201cJesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.\u201d<br \/>\n43\u00a0 And he said to him, \u201cTruly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>THE SON<br \/>\nTHAT CARED FOR HIS MOTHER<\/u><u><br \/>\n<\/u>John 19:25-27 (ESV)<\/strong><br \/>\n25\u00a0 but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother\u2019s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26\u00a0 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, \u201cWoman, behold, your son!\u201d 27\u00a0 Then he said to the disciple, \u201cBehold, your mother!\u201d And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luke 2:34-35 (ESV)<\/strong><br \/>\n34\u00a0 And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, \u201cBehold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed<br \/>\n35\u00a0 (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>THE STATEMENT<br \/>\nTHAT CHANGED HISTORY<br \/>\n<\/u>John 19:28-30 (ESV)<\/strong><br \/>\n28\u00a0 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), \u201cI thirst.\u201d<br \/>\n29\u00a0 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\u00a0 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, \u201cIt is finished,\u201d and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>THE SCENE<br \/>\nTHAT JOHN REMEMBERED<\/u> <u><br \/>\n<\/u>John 19:31-37 (ESV)<\/strong><br \/>\n31\u00a0 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\u00a0 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him. 33\u00a0 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34\u00a0 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. 35\u00a0 He who saw it has borne witness\u2014his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth\u2014that you also may believe. 36\u00a0 For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: \u201cNot one of his bones will be broken.\u201d 37\u00a0 And again another Scripture says, \u201cThey will look on him whom they have pierced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Psalm 34:20 (ESV)<\/strong><br \/>\n20\u00a0 He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zechariah 12:10 (ESV)<\/strong><br \/>\n10\u00a0 \u201cAnd I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>THE SECRET<br \/>\nTHAT WOULD NOT BE KEPT<br \/>\n<\/u>John 19:38-42 (ESV)<\/strong><br \/>\n38\u00a0 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\u00a0 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\u00a0 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\u00a0 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\u00a0 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luke 23:50-53 (ESV)<\/strong><br \/>\n50\u00a0 Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, 51\u00a0 who had not consented to their decision and action; and he was looking for the kingdom of God. 52\u00a0 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53\u00a0 Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and laid him in a tomb cut in stone, where no one had ever yet been laid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Isaiah 53:3-6 (ESV)<\/strong><br \/>\n3\u00a0 He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4\u00a0 Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5\u00a0 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. 6\u00a0 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned\u2014every one\u2014to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to John (Sermon series) \u00a0by Rev.
