7:22 I would like to see a reconciliation between the divine instruction to 'utterly destroy' the inhabitants of the land, and this verse.
Gordon Reed [West Birmingham England] Comment added in 2011 Reply to Gordon
Deut 7:1-3 We see here the nations that were to be destroyed and in v. 3 the commandment of God that there was to be no intermarriage between these nations and Israel. And why we know Israel disobeyed we do have some interesting exceptions. WE have Rahab a Canaanite, with have Ruth (though a Moabite there was a similar ban on marriage with that nation as well) we have Uriah the Hittite. So while the law was specific and without exception, it would seem faith conquered law.

1. Now these are the commandments <4687>, the statutes <2706>, and the judgments <4941>, which the LORD <3068> your God <430> commanded <6680>(8765) to teach <3925>(8763) you, that ye might do <6213>(8800) them in the land <776> whither ye go <5674>(8802) to possess <3423>(8800) it:
2. That thou mightest fear <3372>(8799) the LORD <3068> thy God <430>, to keep <8104>(8800) all his statutes <2708> and his commandments <4687>, which I command <6680>(8764) thee, thou, and thy son <1121>, and thy son's <1121> son <1121>, all the days <3117> of thy life <2416>; and that thy days <3117> may be prolonged <748>(8686).
3. Hear <8085>(8804) therefore, O Israel <3478>, and observe <8104>(8804) to do <6213>(8800) it; that it may be well <3190>(8799) with thee, and that ye may increase <7235>(8799) mightily <3966>, as the LORD <3068> God <430> of thy fathers <1> hath promised <1696>(8765) thee, in the land <776> that floweth <2100>(8802) with milk <2461> and honey <1706>.
4. Hear <8085>(8798), O Israel <3478>: The LORD <3068> our God <430> is one <259> LORD <3068>:
5. And thou shalt love <157>(8804) the LORD <3068> thy God <430> with all thine heart <3824>, and with all thy soul <5315>, and with all thy might <3966>.
6. And these words <1697>, which I command <6680>(8764) thee this day <3117>, shall be in thine heart <3824>:
7. And thou shalt teach them diligently <8150>(8765) unto thy children <1121>, and shalt talk <1696>(8765) of them when thou sittest <3427>(8800) in thine house <1004>, and when thou walkest <3212>(8800) by the way <1870>, and when thou liest down <7901>(8800), and when thou risest up <6965>(8800).
8. And thou shalt bind <7194>(8804) them for a sign <226> upon thine hand <3027>, and they shall be as frontlets <2903> between thine eyes <5869>.
9. And thou shalt write <3789>(8804) them upon the posts <4201> of thy house <1004>, and on thy gates <8179>.
10. And it shall be, when the LORD <3068> thy God <430> shall have brought <935>(8686) thee into the land <776> which he sware <7650>(8738) unto thy fathers <1>, to Abraham <85>, to Isaac <3327>, and to Jacob <3290>, to give <5414>(8800) thee great <1419> and goodly <2896> cities <5892>, which thou buildedst <1129>(8804) not,
11. And houses <1004> full <4392> of all good <2898> things, which thou filledst <4390>(8765) not, and wells <953> digged <2672>(8803), which thou diggedst <2672>(8804) not, vineyards <3754> and olive trees <2132>, which thou plantedst <5193>(8804) not; when thou shalt have eaten <398>(8804) and be full <7646>(8804);
12. Then beware <8104>(8734) lest thou forget <7911>(8799) the LORD <3068>, which brought thee forth <3318>(8689) out of the land <776> of Egypt <4714>, from the house <1004> of bondage <5650>.
13. Thou shalt fear <3372>(8799) the LORD <3068> thy God <430>, and serve <5647>(8799) him, and shalt swear <7650>(8735) by his name <8034>.
14. Ye shall not go <3212>(8799) after <310> other <312> gods <430>, of the gods <430> of the people <5971> which are round about <5439> you;
15. (For the LORD <3068> thy God <430> is a jealous <7067> God <410> among <7130> you) lest the anger <639> of the LORD <3068> thy God <430> be kindled <2734>(8799) against thee, and destroy <8045>(8689) thee from off the face <6440> of the earth <127>.
16. Ye shall not tempt <5254>(8762) the LORD <3068> your God <430>, as ye tempted <5254>(8765) him in Massah <4532>.
17. Ye shall diligently <8104>(8800) keep <8104>(8799) the commandments <4687> of the LORD <3068> your God <430>, and his testimonies <5713>, and his statutes <2706>, which he hath commanded <6680>(8765) thee.
18. And thou shalt do <6213>(8804) that which is right <3477> and good <2896> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>: that it may be well <3190>(8799) with thee, and that thou mayest go in <935>(8804) and possess <3423>(8804) the good <2896> land <776> which the LORD <3068> sware <7650>(8738) unto thy fathers <1>,
19. To cast out <1920>(8800) all thine enemies <341>(8802) from before <6440> thee, as the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696>(8765).
20. And when thy son <1121> asketh <7592>(8799) thee in time to come <4279>, saying <559>(8800), What mean the testimonies <5713>, and the statutes <2706>, and the judgments <4941>, which the LORD <3068> our God <430> hath commanded <6680>(8765) you?
21. Then thou shalt say <559>(8804) unto thy son <1121>, We were Pharaoh's <6547> bondmen <5650> in Egypt <4714>; and the LORD <3068> brought us out <3318>(8686) of Egypt <4714> with a mighty <2389> hand <3027>:
22. And the LORD <3068> shewed <5414>(8799) signs <226> and wonders <4159>, great <1419> and sore <7451>, upon Egypt <4714>, upon Pharaoh <6547>, and upon all his household <1004>, before our eyes <5869>:
23. And he brought us out <3318>(8689) from thence, that he might bring us in <935>(8687), to give <5414>(8800) us the land <776> which he sware <7650>(8738) unto our fathers <1>.
24. And the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>(8762) us to do <6213>(8800) all these statutes <2706>, to fear <3372>(8800) the LORD <3068> our God <430>, for our good <2896> always <3117>, that he might preserve us alive <2421>(8763), as it is at this day <3117>.
25. And it shall be our righteousness <6666>, if we observe <8104>(8799) to do <6213>(8800) all these <2063> commandments <4687> before <6440> the LORD <3068> our God <430>, as he hath commanded <6680>(8765) us.
1. When the LORD <3068> thy God <430> shall bring <935>(8686) thee into the land <776> whither thou goest <935>(8802) to possess <3423>(8800) it, and hath cast out <5394>(8804) many <7227> nations <1471> before <6440> thee, the Hittites <2850>, and the Girgashites <1622>, and the Amorites <567>, and the Canaanites <3669>, and the Perizzites <6522>, and the Hivites <2340>, and the Jebusites <2983>, seven <7651> nations <1471> greater <7227> and mightier <6099> than thou;
2. And when the LORD <3068> thy God <430> shall deliver <5414>(8804) them before <6440> thee; thou shalt smite <5221>(8689) them, and utterly <2763>(8687) destroy <2763>(8686) them; thou shalt make <3772>(8799) no covenant <1285> with them, nor shew mercy <2603>(8799) unto them:
3. Neither shalt thou make marriages <2859>(8691) with them; thy daughter <1323> thou shalt not give <5414>(8799) unto his son <1121>, nor his daughter <1323> shalt thou take <3947>(8799) unto thy son <1121>.
4. For they will turn away <5493>(8686) thy son <1121> from following <310> me, that they may serve <5647>(8804) other <312> gods <430>: so will the anger <639> of the LORD <3068> be kindled <2734>(8804) against you, and destroy <8045>(8689) thee suddenly <4118>.
5. But thus shall ye deal <6213>(8799) with them; ye shall destroy <5422>(8799) their altars <4196>, and break down <7665>(8762) their images <4676>, and cut down <1438>(8762) their groves <842>, and burn <8313>(8799) their graven images <6456> with fire <784>.
6. For thou art an holy <6918> people <5971> unto the LORD <3068> thy God <430>: the LORD <3068> thy God <430> hath chosen <977>(8804) thee to be a special <5459> people <5971> unto himself, above all people <5971> that are upon the face <6440> of the earth <127>.
7. The LORD <3068> did not set his love <2836>(8804) upon you, nor choose <977>(8799) you, because ye were more <7230> in number than any people <5971>; for ye were the fewest <4592> of all people <5971>:
8. But because the LORD <3068> loved <160> you, and because he would keep <8104>(8800) the oath <7621> which he had sworn <7650>(8738) unto your fathers <1>, hath the LORD <3068> brought you out <3318>(8689) with a mighty <2389> hand <3027>, and redeemed <6299>(8799) you out of the house <1004> of bondmen <5650>, from the hand <3027> of Pharaoh <6547> king <4428> of Egypt <4714>.
9. Know <3045>(8804) therefore that the LORD <3068> thy God <430>, he is God <430>, the faithful <539>(8737) God <410>, which keepeth <8104>(8802) covenant <1285> and mercy <2617> with them that love <157>(8802) him and keep <8104>(8802) his commandments <4687> to a thousand <505> generations <1755>;
10. And repayeth <7999>(8764) them that hate <8130>(8802) him to their face <6440>, to destroy <6>(8687) them: he will not be slack <309>(8762) to him that hateth <8130>(8802) him, he will repay <7999>(8762) him to his face <6440>.
11. Thou shalt therefore keep <8104>(8804) the commandments <4687>, and the statutes <2706>, and the judgments <4941>, which I command <6680>(8764) thee this day <3117>, to do <6213>(8800) them.
12. Wherefore it shall come to pass, if <6118> ye hearken <8085>(8799) to these judgments <4941>, and keep <8104>(8804), and do <6213>(8804) them, that the LORD <3068> thy God <430> shall keep <8104>(8804) unto thee the covenant <1285> and the mercy <2617> which he sware <7650>(8738) unto thy fathers <1>:
13. And he will love <157>(8804) thee, and bless <1288>(8765) thee, and multiply <7235>(8689) thee: he will also bless <1288>(8765) the fruit <6529> of thy womb <990>, and the fruit <6529> of thy land <127>, thy corn <1715>, and thy wine <8492>, and thine oil <3323>, the increase <7698> of thy kine <504>, and the flocks <6251> of thy sheep <6629>, in the land <127> which he sware <7650>(8738) unto thy fathers <1> to give <5414>(8800) thee.
14. Thou shalt be blessed <1288>(8803) above all people <5971>: there shall not be male <6135> or female barren <6135> among you, or among your cattle <929>.
15. And the LORD <3068> will take away <5493>(8689) from thee all sickness <2483>, and will put <7760>(8799) none of the evil <7451> diseases <4064> of Egypt <4714>, which thou knowest <3045>(8804), upon thee; but will lay <5414>(8804) them upon all them that hate <8130>(8802) thee.
16. And thou shalt consume <398>(8804) all the people <5971> which the LORD <3068> thy God <430> shall deliver <5414>(8802) thee; thine eye <5869> shall have no pity <2347>(8799) upon them: neither shalt thou serve <5647>(8799) their gods <430>; for that will be a snare <4170> unto thee.
17. If thou shalt say <559>(8799) in thine heart <3824>, These nations <1471> are more <7227> than I; how <349> can <3201>(8799) I dispossess <3423>(8687) them?
18. Thou shalt not be afraid <3372>(8799) of them: but shalt well <2142>(8800) remember <2142>(8799) what the LORD <3068> thy God <430> did <6213>(8804) unto Pharaoh <6547>, and unto all Egypt <4714>;
19. The great <1419> temptations <4531> which thine eyes <5869> saw <7200>(8804), and the signs <226>, and the wonders <4159>, and the mighty <2389> hand <3027>, and the stretched out <5186>(8803) arm <2220>, whereby the LORD <3068> thy God <430> brought thee out <3318>(8689): so shall the LORD <3068> thy God <430> do <6213>(8799) unto all the people <5971> of whom thou art afraid <3373> <6440>.
20. Moreover the LORD <3068> thy God <430> will send <7971>(8762) the hornet <6880> among them, until they that are left <7604>(8737), and hide <5641>(8737) themselves from <6440> thee, be destroyed <6>(8800).
21. Thou shalt not be affrighted <6206>(8799) at <6440> them: for the LORD <3068> thy God <430> is among <7130> you, a mighty <1419> God <410> and terrible <3372>(8737).
22. And the LORD <3068> thy God <430> will put out <5394>(8804) those <411> nations <1471> before <6440> thee by little <4592> and little <4592>: thou mayest <3201>(8799) not consume <3615>(8763) them at once <4118>, lest the beasts <2416> of the field <7704> increase <7235>(8799) upon thee.
23. But the LORD <3068> thy God <430> shall deliver <5414>(8804) them unto thee <6440>, and shall destroy <1949>(8804) them with a mighty <1419> destruction <4103>, until they be destroyed <8045>(8736).
24. And he shall deliver <5414>(8804) their kings <4428> into thine hand <3027>, and thou shalt destroy <6>(8689) their name <8034> from under heaven <8064>: there shall no man <376> be able to stand <3320>(8691) before <6440> thee, until thou have destroyed <8045>(8687) them.
25. The graven images <6456> of their gods <430> shall ye burn <8313>(8799) with fire <784>: thou shalt not desire <2530>(8799) the silver <3701> or gold <2091> that is on them, nor take <3947>(8804) it unto thee, lest thou be snared <3369>(8735) therein: for it is an abomination <8441> to the LORD <3068> thy God <430>.
26. Neither shalt thou bring <935>(8686) an abomination <8441> into thine house <1004>, lest thou be a cursed thing <2764> like it: but thou shalt utterly <8262>(8763) detest <8262>(8762) it, and thou shalt utterly <8581>(8763) abhor <8581>(8762) it; for it is a cursed thing <2764>.

1. I said <559>(8804) in mine heart <3820>, Go to now <3212>(8798), I will prove <5254>(8762) thee with mirth <8057>, therefore enjoy <7200>(8798) pleasure <2896>: and, behold, this also is vanity <1892>.
2. I said <559>(8804) of laughter <7814>, It is mad <1984>(8781): and of mirth <8057>, What <2090> doeth <6213>(8802) it?
3. I sought <8446>(8804) in mine heart <3820> to give <4900>(8800) myself <1320> unto wine <3196>, yet acquainting <5090>(8802) mine heart <3820> with wisdom <2451>; and to lay hold <270>(8800) on folly <5531>, till I might see <7200>(8799) what was that good <2896> for the sons <1121> of men <120>, which they should do <6213>(8799) under the heaven <8064> all <4557> the days <3117> of their life <2416>.
4. I made me great <1431>(8689) works <4639>; I builded <1129>(8804) me houses <1004>; I planted <5193>(8804) me vineyards <3754>:
5. I made <6213>(8804) me gardens <1593> and orchards <6508>, and I planted <5193>(8804) trees <6086> in them of all kind of fruits <6529>:
6. I made <6213>(8804) me pools <1295> of water <4325>, to water <8248>(8687) therewith the wood <3293> that bringeth forth <6779>(8802) trees <6086>:
7. I got <7069>(8804) me servants <5650> and maidens <8198>, and had servants born <1121> in my house <1004>; also I had great <7235>(8687) possessions <4735> of great <1241> and small cattle <6629> above all that were in Jerusalem <3389> before <6440> me:
8. I gathered <3664>(8804) me also silver <3701> and gold <2091>, and the peculiar <5459> treasure of kings <4428> and of the provinces <4082>: I gat <6213>(8804) me men singers <7891>(8802) and women singers <7891>(8802), and the delights <8588> of the sons <1121> of men <120>, as musical instruments <7705> <7705>, and that of all sorts.
9. So I was great <1431>(8804), and increased <3254>(8689) more than all that were before <6440> me in Jerusalem <3389>: also my wisdom <2451> remained <5975>(8804) with me.
10. And whatsoever mine eyes <5869> desired <7592>(8804) I kept <680>(8804) not from them, I withheld <4513>(8804) not my heart <3820> from any joy <8057>; for my heart <3820> rejoiced <8056> in all my labour <5999>: and this was my portion <2506> of all my labour <5999>.
11. Then I looked <6437>(8804) on all the works <4639> that my hands <3027> had wrought <6213>(8804), and on the labour <5999> that I had laboured <5998>(8804) to do <6213>(8800): and, behold, all was vanity <1892> and vexation <7469> of spirit <7307>, and there was no profit <3504> under the sun <8121>.
12. And I turned <6437>(8804) myself to behold <7200>(8800) wisdom <2451>, and madness <1947>, and folly <5531>: for what can the man <120> do that cometh <935>(8799) after <310> the king <4428>? even that which hath been already <3528> done <6213>(8804).
13. Then I saw <7200>(8804) that <3426> wisdom <2451> excelleth <3504> folly <5531>, as far as light <216> excelleth <3504> darkness <2822>.
14. The wise man's <2450> eyes <5869> are in his head <7218>; but the fool <3684> walketh <1980>(8802) in darkness <2822>: and I myself perceived <3045>(8804) also that one <259> event <4745> happeneth <7136>(8799) to them all.
15. Then <227> said <559>(8804) I in my heart <3820>, As it happeneth <4745> to the fool <3684>, so it happeneth <7136>(8799) even to me <1571>; and why was I then more <3148> wise <2449>(8804)? Then I said <1696>(8765) in my heart <3820>, that this also is vanity <1892>.
16. For there is no remembrance <2146> of the wise <2450> more than <5973> of the fool <3684> for ever <5769>; seeing that which now <3528> is in the days <3117> to come <935>(8802) shall all be forgotten <7911>(8738). And how dieth <4191>(8799) the wise <2450> man? as the fool <3684>.
17. Therefore I hated <8130>(8804) life <2416>; because the work <4639> that is wrought <6213>(8738) under the sun <8121> is grievous <7451> unto me: for all is vanity <1892> and vexation <7469> of spirit <7307>.
18. Yea, I hated <8130>(8804) all my labour <5999> which I had taken <6001> under the sun <8121>: because I should leave <3240>(8686) it unto the man <120> that shall be after <310> me.
19. And who knoweth <3045>(8802) whether he shall be a wise <2450> man or a fool <5530>? yet shall he have rule <7980>(8799) over all my labour <5999> wherein I have laboured <5998>(8804), and wherein I have shewed myself wise <2449>(8804) under the sun <8121>. This is also vanity <1892>.
20. Therefore I went about <5437>(8804) to cause <2976> <0> my heart <3820> to despair <2976>(8763) of all the labour <5999> which I took <5998>(8804) under the sun <8121>.
21. For there is <3426> a man <120> whose labour <5999> is in wisdom <2451>, and in knowledge <1847>, and in equity <3788>; yet to a man <120> that hath not laboured <5998>(8804) therein shall he leave <5414>(8799) it for his portion <2506>. This also is vanity <1892> and a great <7227> evil <7451>.
22. For what hath <1933>(8802) man <120> of all his labour <5999>, and of the vexation <7475> of his heart <3820>, wherein <1931> he hath laboured <6001> under the sun <8121>?
23. For all his days <3117> are sorrows <4341>, and his travail <6045> grief <3708>; yea, his heart <3820> taketh not rest <7901>(8804) in the night <3915>. This is also vanity <1892>.
24. There is nothing better <2896> for a man <120>, than that he should eat <398>(8799) and drink <8354>(8804), and that he should make his soul <5315> enjoy <7200>(8689) good <2896> in his labour <5999>. This <2090> also I saw <7200>(8804), that it was from the hand <3027> of God <430>.
25. For who can eat <398>(8799), or who else can hasten <2363>(8799) hereunto, more <2351> than I?
26. For God giveth <5414>(8804) to a man <120> that is good <2896> in his sight <6440> wisdom <2451>, and knowledge <1847>, and joy <8057>: but to the sinner <2398>(8802) he giveth <5414>(8804) travail <6045>, to gather <622>(8800) and to heap up <3664>(8800), that he may give <5414>(8800) to him that is good <2896> before <6440> God <430>. This also is vanity <1892> and vexation <7469> of spirit <7307>.

Awaiting re-birth
Jesus had said to Nicodemus "unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God". (3:3) Have you ever wondered what implications Nicodemus would have drawn from that statement? If someone is to be born again, of necessity they must die first. This is implied in the first part of Nicodemus' question in 3:4 "can he enter a second time into the womb?". So Nicodemus, more than any other, may have been quietly waiting to see whether Jesus would die and be raised again.
This would explain why it is him in particular who brought a hundred pounds of myrrh and aloes, so that when he awoke Jesus would smell a pleasing, Kingly odour. Myrrh was an expensive perfume (see Exo 30:23, Est 2:12, Song 3:6) certainly not associated with death in scripture. In Psa 45 the writer says Prophetically: "My heart is overflowing with a good theme concerning the King.. your God has anointed you with the oil of gladness, all your garments are scented with Myrrh and Aloes and Cassia". Hardly a burial song, but rather one of joy. Nicodemus, by his actions in supplying these particular perfumes, finally showed his faith in what Jesus had told him.

1. Then <5119> Pilate <4091> therefore <3767> took <2983>(5627) Jesus <2424>, and <2532> scourged <3146>(5656) him.
2. And <2532> the soldiers <4757> platted <4120>(5660) a crown <4735> of <1537> thorns <173>, and put it on <2007>(5656) his <846> head <2776>, and <2532> they put on <4016>(5627) him <846> a purple <4210> robe <2440>,
3. And <2532> said <3004>(5707), Hail <5463>(5720), King <935> of the Jews <2453>! and <2532> they smote <1325>(5707) him <846> with their hands <4475>.
4. Pilate <4091> therefore <3767> went <1831>(5627) forth <1854> again <3825>, and <2532> saith <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, Behold <2396>, I bring <71>(5719) him <846> forth <1854> to you <5213>, that <2443> ye may know <1097>(5632) that <3754> I find <2147>(5719) no <3762> fault <156> in <1722> him <846>.
5. Then <3767> came <1831>(5627) Jesus <2424> forth <1854>, wearing <5409>(5723) the crown <4735> of thorns <174>, and <2532> the purple <4210> robe <2440>. And <2532> Pilate saith <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, Behold <2396> the man <444>!
6. When <3753> the chief priests <749> therefore <3767> and <2532> officers <5257> saw <1492>(5627) him <846>, they cried out <2905>(5656), saying <3004>(5723), Crucify <4717>(5657) him, crucify <4717>(5657) him. Pilate <4091> saith <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, Take <2983>(5628) ye <5210> him <846>, and <2532> crucify <4717>(5657) him: for <1063> I <1473> find <2147>(5719) no <3756> fault <156> in <1722> him <846>.
7. The Jews <2453> answered <611>(5662) him <846>, We <2249> have <2192>(5719) a law <3551>, and <2532> by <2596> our <2257> law <3551> he ought <3784>(5719) to die <599>(5629), because <3754> he made <4160>(5656) himself <1438> the Son <5207> of God <2316>.
8. When <3753> Pilate <4091> therefore <3767> heard <191>(5656) that <5126> saying <3056>, he was <5399> <0> the more <3123> afraid <5399>(5675);
9. And <2532> went <1525>(5627) again <3825> into <1519> the judgment hall <4232>, and <2532> saith <3004>(5719) unto Jesus <2424>, Whence <4159> art <1488>(5748) thou <4771>? But <1161> Jesus <2424> gave <1325>(5656) him <846> no <3756> answer <612>.
10. Then <3767> saith <3004>(5719) Pilate <4091> unto him <846>, Speakest thou <2980>(5719) not <3756> unto me <1698>? knowest thou <1492>(5758) not <3756> that <3754> I have <2192>(5719) power <1849> to crucify <4717>(5658) thee <4571>, and <2532> have <2192>(5719) power <1849> to release <630>(5658) thee <4571>?
11. Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5662), Thou couldest have <2192>(5707) no <3756> power <1849> at all against <3762> <2596> me <1700>, except <1508> it were <2258>(5713) given <1325>(5772) thee <4671> from above <509>: therefore <5124> <1223> he that delivered <3860>(5723) me <3165> unto thee <4671> hath <2192>(5719) the greater <3187> sin <266>.
12. And from <1537> thenceforth <5127> Pilate <4091> sought <2212>(5707) to release <630>(5658) him <846>: but <1161> the Jews <2453> cried out <2896>(5707), saying <3004>(5723), If <1437> thou let <630> <0> this man <5126> go <630>(5661), thou art <1488>(5748) not <3756> Caesar's <2541> friend <5384>: whosoever <3956> maketh <4160>(5723) himself <848> a king <935> speaketh against <483>(5719) Caesar <2541>.
13. When Pilate <4091> therefore <3767> heard <191>(5660) that <5126> saying <3056>, he brought <71>(5627) Jesus <2424> forth <1854>, and <2532> sat down <2523>(5656) in <1909> the judgment seat <968> in <1519> a place <5117> that is called <3004>(5746) the Pavement <3038>, but <1161> in the Hebrew <1447>, Gabbatha <1042>.
14. And <1161> it was <2258>(5713) the preparation <3904> of the passover <3957>, and <1161> about <5616> the sixth <1623> hour <5610>: and <2532> he saith <3004>(5719) unto the Jews <2453>, Behold <2396> your <5216> King <935>!
15. But <1161> they cried out <2905>(5656), Away with <142>(5657) him, away with <142>(5657) him, crucify <4717>(5657) him <846>. Pilate <4091> saith <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, Shall I crucify <4717>(5692) your <5216> King <935>? The chief priests <749> answered <611>(5662), We have <2192>(5719) no <3756> king <935> but <1508> Caesar <2541>.
16. Then <5119> delivered he <3860>(5656) him <846> therefore <3767> unto them <846> to <2443> be crucified <4717>(5686). And <1161> they took <3880>(5627) Jesus <2424>, and <2532> led him away <520>(5627).
17. And <2532> he bearing <941>(5723) his <848> cross <4716> went forth <1831>(5627) into <1519> a place <5117> called <3004>(5746) the place of a skull <2898>, which <3739> is called <3004>(5743) in the Hebrew <1447> Golgotha <1115>:
18. Where <3699> they crucified <4717>(5656) him <846>, and <2532> two <1417> other <243> with <3326> him <846>, on either side one <2532> <1782> <1782>, and <1161> Jesus <2424> in the midst <3319>.
19. And <1161> <2532> Pilate <4091> wrote <1125>(5656) a title <5102>, and <2532> put <5087>(5656) it on <1909> the cross <4716>. And <1161> the writing <1125>(5772) was <2258>(5713), JESUS <2424> OF NAZARETH <3480> THE KING <935> OF THE JEWS <2453>.
20. This <5126> title <5102> then <3767> read <314>(5627) many <4183> of the Jews <2453>: for <3754> the place <5117> where <3699> Jesus <2424> was crucified <4717>(5681) was <2258>(5713) nigh <1451> to the city <4172>: and <2532> it was <2258>(5713) written <1125>(5772) in Hebrew <1447>, and Greek <1676>, and Latin <4515>.
21. Then <3767> said <3004>(5707) the chief priests <749> of the Jews <2453> to Pilate <4091>, Write <1125>(5720) not <3361>, The King <935> of the Jews <2453>; but <235> that <3754> he <1565> said <2036>(5627), I am <1510>(5748) King <935> of the Jews <2453>.
22. Pilate <4091> answered <611>(5662), What <3739> I have written <1125>(5758) I have written <1125>(5758).
23. Then <3767> the soldiers <4757>, when <3753> they had crucified <4717>(5656) Jesus <2424>, took <2983>(5627) his <846> garments <2440>, and <2532> made <4160>(5656) four <5064> parts <3313>, to every <1538> soldier <4757> a part <3313>; and also <2532> his coat <5509>: now <1161> the coat <5509> was <2258>(5713) without seam <729>, woven <5307> from <1537> the top <509> throughout <1223> <3650>.
24. They said <2036>(5627) therefore <3767> among <4314> themselves <240>, Let us <4977> <0> not <3361> rend <4977>(5661) it <846>, but <235> cast lots <2975>(5632) for <4012> it <846>, whose <5101> it shall be <2071>(5704): that <2443> the scripture <1124> might be fulfilled <4137>(5686), which <3588> saith <3004>(5723), They parted <1266>(5668) my <3450> raiment <2440> among them <1438>, and <2532> for <1909> my <3450> vesture <2441> they did cast <906>(5627) lots <2819>. These things <5023> <3303> therefore <3767> the soldiers <4757> did <4160>(5656).
25. Now <1161> there stood <2476>(5715) by <3844> the cross <4716> of Jesus <2424> his <846> mother <3384>, and <2532> his <846> mother's <3384> sister <79>, Mary <3137> the wife <3588> of Cleophas <2832>, and <2532> Mary <3137> Magdalene <3094>.
26. When Jesus <2424> therefore <3767> saw <1492>(5631) his mother <3384>, and <2532> the disciple <3101> standing by <3936>(5761), whom <3739> he loved <25>(5707), he saith <3004>(5719) unto his <848> mother <3384>, Woman <1135>, behold <2400>(5628) thy <4675> son <5207>!
27. Then <1534> saith he <3004>(5719) to the disciple <3101>, Behold <2400>(5628) thy <4675> mother <3384>! And <2532> from <575> that <1565> hour <5610> that disciple <3101> took <2983>(5627) her <846> unto <1519> his own <2398> home.
28. After <3326> this <5124>, Jesus <2424> knowing <1492>(5761) that <3754> all things <3956> were <5055> <0> now <2235> accomplished <5055>(5769), that <2443> the scripture <1124> might be fulfilled <5048>(5686), saith <3004>(5719), I thirst <1372>(5719).
29. Now <3767> there was set <2749>(5711) a vessel <4632> full <3324> of vinegar <3690>: and <1161> they filled <4130>(5660) a spunge <4699> with vinegar <3690>, and <2532> put it upon <4060>(5631) hyssop <5301>, and put <4374>(5656) it to his <846> mouth <4750>.
30. When <3753> Jesus <2424> therefore <3767> had received <2983>(5627) the vinegar <3690>, he said <2036>(5627), It is finished <5055>(5769): and <2532> he bowed <2827>(5660) his head <2776>, and gave up <3860>(5656) the ghost <4151>.
31. The Jews <2453> therefore <3767>, because <1893> it was <2258>(5713)(5625) <2258>(5713) the preparation <3904>, that <3363> <0> the bodies <4983> should <3306> <0> not <3363> remain <3306>(5661) upon <1909> the cross <4716> on <1722> the sabbath day <4521>, (for <1063> that <1565> sabbath day <4521> was <2258>(5713) an high <3173> day <2250>,) besought <2065>(5656) Pilate <4091> that <2443> their <846> legs <4628> might be broken <2608>(5652), and <2532> that they might be taken away <142>(5686).
32. Then <3767> came <2064>(5627) the soldiers <4757>, and <2532> brake <2608>(5656) the legs <4628> of the <3303> first <4413>, and <2532> of the other <243> which <3588> was crucified with <4957>(5685) him <846>.
33. But <1161> when <5613> they came <2064>(5631) to <1909> Jesus <2424>, and saw <1492>(5627) that he <846> was dead <2348>(5761) already <2235>, they brake <2608>(5656) not <3756> his <846> legs <4628>:
34. But <235> one <1520> of the soldiers <4757> with a spear <3057> pierced <3572>(5656) his <846> side <4125>, and <2532> forthwith <2117> came there out <1831>(5627) blood <129> and <2532> water <5204>.
35. And <2532> he that saw <3708>(5761) it bare record <3140>(5758), and <2532> his <846> record <3141> is <2076>(5748) true <228>: and he <2548> knoweth <1492>(5758) that <3754> he saith <3004>(5719) true <227>, that <2443> ye <5210> might believe <4100>(5661).
36. For <1063> these things <5023> were done <1096>(5633), that <2443> the scripture <1124> should be fulfilled <4137>(5686), A bone <3747> of him <846> shall <4937> <0> not <3756> be broken <4937>(5691).
37. And <2532> again <3825> another <2087> scripture <1124> saith <3004>(5719), They shall look <3700>(5695) on <1519> him whom <3739> they pierced <1574>(5656).
38. And <1161> after <3326> this <5023> Joseph <2501> of <575> Arimathaea <707>, being <5607>(5752) a disciple <3101> of Jesus <2424>, but <1161> secretly <2928>(5772) for <1223> fear <5401> of the Jews <2453>, besought <2065>(5656) Pilate <4091> that <2443> he might take away <142>(5661) the body <4983> of Jesus <2424>: and <2532> Pilate <4091> gave him leave <2010>(5656). He came <2064>(5627) therefore <3767>, and <2532> took <142>(5656) the body <4983> of Jesus <2424>.
39. And <1161> there came <2064>(5627) also <2532> Nicodemus <3530>, which <3588> at the first <4412> came <2064>(5631) to <4314> Jesus <2424> by night <3571>, and brought <5342>(5723) a mixture <3395> of myrrh <4666> and <2532> aloes <250>, about <5616> an hundred <1540> pound <3046> weight.
40. Then <3767> took they <2983>(5627) the body <4983> of Jesus <2424>, and <2532> wound <1210>(5656) it <846> in linen clothes <3608> with <3326> the spices <759>, as <2531> the manner <1485> of the Jews <2453> is <2076>(5748) to bury <1779>(5721).
41. Now <1161> in <1722> the place <5117> where <3699> he was crucified <4717>(5681) there was <2258>(5713) a garden <2779>; and <2532> in <1722> the garden <2779> a new <2537> sepulchre <3419>, wherein <1722> <3739> was <5087> <0> never <3764> <0> man <3762> yet <3764> laid <5087>(5681).
42. There <1563> laid they <5087>(5656) Jesus <2424> therefore <3767> because <1223> of the Jews <2453>' preparation <3904> day; for <3754> the sepulchre <3419> was <2258>(5713) nigh at hand <1451>.
