23Luke 23

1And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate,Select Luke 23:1

2and began to accuse him, saying, `This one we found perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a king.'Select Luke 23:2

3And Pilate questioned him, saying, `Thou art the king of the Jews?' and he answering him, said, `Thou dost say it .'Select Luke 23:3

4And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, `I find no fault in this man;'Select Luke 23:4

5and they were the more urgent, saying--`He doth stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea--having begun from Galilee--unto this place.'Select Luke 23:5

6And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean,Select Luke 23:6

7and having known that he is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he being also in Jerusalem in those days.Select Luke 23:7

8And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long time to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done by him,Select Luke 23:8

9and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.Select Luke 23:9

10And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing him,Select Luke 23:10

11and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate,Select Luke 23:11

12and both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with one another, for they were before at enmity between themselves.Select Luke 23:12

13And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,Select Luke 23:13

14said unto them, `Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him;Select Luke 23:14

15no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;Select Luke 23:15

16having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'Select Luke 23:16

17for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast,Select Luke 23:17

18and they cried out--the whole multitude--saying, `Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,'Select Luke 23:18

19who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison.Select Luke 23:19

20Pilate again then--wishing to release Jesus--called to them,Select Luke 23:20

21but they were calling out, saying, `Crucify, crucify him.'Select Luke 23:21

22And he a third time said unto them, `Why, what evil did he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will release him .'Select Luke 23:22

23And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,Select Luke 23:23

24and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,Select Luke 23:24

25and he released him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave up to their will.Select Luke 23:25

26And as they led him away, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put on him the cross, to bear it behind Jesus.Select Luke 23:26

27And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,Select Luke 23:27

28and Jesus having turned unto them, said, `Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children;Select Luke 23:28

29for, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give suck;Select Luke 23:29

30then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us; --Select Luke 23:30

31for, if in the green tree they do these things--in the dry what may happen?'Select Luke 23:31

32And there were also others--two evil-doers--with him, to be put to death;Select Luke 23:32

33and when they came to the place that is called Skull, there they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right hand and one on the left.Select Luke 23:33

34And Jesus said, `Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot.Select Luke 23:34

35And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, `Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.'Select Luke 23:35

36And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him,Select Luke 23:36

37and saying, `If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.'Select Luke 23:37

38And there was also a superscription written over him, in letters of Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew, `This is the King of the Jews.'Select Luke 23:38

39And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of him, saying, `If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.'Select Luke 23:39

40And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, `Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment?Select Luke 23:40

41and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;'Select Luke 23:41

42and he said to Jesus, `Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;'Select Luke 23:42

43and Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.'Select Luke 23:43

44And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour,Select Luke 23:44

45and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst,Select Luke 23:45

46and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, `Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;' and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit.Select Luke 23:46

47And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, `Really this man was righteous;'Select Luke 23:47

48and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back;Select Luke 23:48

49and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.Select Luke 23:49

50And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous,Select Luke 23:50

51--he was not consenting to their counsel and deed--from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God,Select Luke 23:51

52he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus,Select Luke 23:52

53and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid.Select Luke 23:53

54And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching,Select Luke 23:54

55and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed,Select Luke 23:55

56and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.Select Luke 23:56
