< Luke 23 >
1 Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.
And the whole assembly of them arose, and brought him to Pilatos.
2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”
And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this who deludeth our people, and forbiddeth that tribute unto Caesar we should give, saying of himself that he is the King Meshicha.
3 So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
But Pilatos asked him, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jihudoyee? He saith to him, Thou hast said.
4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
And Pilatos said to the chief priests and to the assembly, I find no occasion against this man.
5 But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”
But they cried out and said, He commoveth our people while he teacheth throughout all Jihud, beginning from Galila unto this place.
6 When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
Pilatos, however, when he heard the name of Galila, asked if the man were a Galiloya.
7 And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.
And when he knew that he was from the limit of the jurisdiction of Herodes, he sent him unto Herodes, because that in Urishlem he was in those days.
8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.
And Herodes, when he saw Jeshu, was very glad; for he had desired to see him of a great time: for he had heard concerning him many things, and hoped that some sign he should see from him.
9 Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.
And many words he asked him; but Jeshu gave him no answer whatever.
10 Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.
And the chief priests and scribes stood and strenuously accused him.
11 And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.
Then Herodes and his soldiers treated him as a fool; and when he had derided him, he dressed him in a robe of crimson, and sent him to Pilatos.
12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.
And in that day Pilatos and Herodes were friends with each other; for before there had been enmity between them.
13 Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
And Pilatos called the chief priests and the rulers of the people,
14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.
and said to them, You have brought to me this man as a perverter of your people; and, behold, I have examined him in your sight, and have found no cause in this man of all that you accuse him:
15 Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.
nor also Herodes; for I sent him unto him, and, behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him:
16 Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”
I will therefore chastise him, and dismiss him.
For a custom had he to release to them one at the festival.
18 But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”
But all the multitude cried out, saying, Take this, and release to us Baraba;
19 (Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
he who, for insurrection and murder which had been done in the city, had been thrown into the house of the chained.
20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,
But Pilatos spake with them again, being willing to release Jeshu.
21 but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”
But they cried out, saying, Crucify him! Crucify him!
22 A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”
He the third time also said to them, Why, what evil hath this done? Cause whatever that is worthy of death, I find not in him: I will therefore chastise him, and dismiss him.
23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.
But they were urgent with a high voice, demanding that they might crucify him; and theirs and the voices of the high priests prevailed.
24 So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.
And Pilatos commanded that their requirement should be done.
25 As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and handed Jesus over to their will.
And he released to them him who, for insurrection and murder, had been thrown into the house of the chained, whom they had asked: but Jeshu he delivered to their will.
26 As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.
AND as they led him away, they laid hold on Shemun Kurinoya, who was coming from the country, and they laid on him the cross, that he might bear (it) after Jeshu.
27 A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.
And there followed him much people, and those women who mourned and wailed for him.
28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
And Jeshu turned to them, and said, Daughters of Urishlem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep, and for your children.
29 Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’
For, behold, coming are the days in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs which have not borne, and the breasts that have not suckled.
30 At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the heights, Cover us!
31 For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
For if to the tree which is good they do these things, unto the dry what shall be?
32 Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.
And there went with him two others, workers of evil, to be put to death.
33 When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left.
And when they came to a certain place called Karkaphtha, there they crucified him, and those workers of evil, one on his right hand, and one on his left.
34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.
BUT Jeshu himself said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they divided his garments, and cast for them lots.
35 The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”
But the people stood beholding, and the rulers also, mocking him, and saying, He saved others, let him save himself, if he be the Meshicha, the Chosen of God.
36 The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.
And the soldiers also, deriding him, approaching him, and offering to him vinegar,
37 “If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”
said to him, If thou art the King of the Jihudoyee, save thyself.
38 Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
And there was also an inscription which was written over him in Greek and Roman and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JIHUDOYEE.
39 One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”
And one of those workers of evil who were hanged with him, blasphemed against him, saying, If thou art the Meshicha, deliver thyself, and deliver us also.
40 But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?
And his companion rebuked him, and said to him, Dost thou not fear (even) Aloha? for thou also art in this judgment.
41 We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
And we righteously, forasmuch as we have been deserving, and as we are punished for that which we have done;
42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”
but this hath done nothing that is abominable. And he said to Jeshu, Remember me, my Lord, when thou art come into thy kingdom!
43 And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
Jeshu saith to him, Amen I say to thee, That to-day with me thou shalt be in Paradise.
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.
NOW it was about six hours, and there was darkness over all the earth until nine hours.
45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.
And the sun darkened, and rent was the vail of the temple through the midst of it.
46 Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.
And Jeshu cried with a high voice, and said, My Father, in thy hands I place my spirit. This he said, and completed.
47 When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”
But when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified Aloha, saying, Assuredly this was a just man.
48 And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.
And all the multitude, they who were assembled to see this, when they saw what was done, returned, smiting upon their breasts.
49 But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.
And there were standing afar off all the acquaintances of Jeshu, and those women who came with him from Galila; and they saw these things.
50 Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,
BUT a certain man, whose name was Jauseph, a senator from Rometha, a city of Jehud, a man (who) was good and just:
51 who had not consented to their decision or action. He was from the Judean town of Arimathea, and was waiting for the kingdom of God.
(this had not consented to the counsel and deed of them; and he was waiting for the kingdom of Aloha: )
52 He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.
this approached Pilatos, and begged the body of Jeshu;
53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid.
and he took it down, and wrapped it in a cloth of linen, and laid it in a hewn sepulchre, in which no one had hitherto been laid.
54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.
And it was the day of the preparation; and the shabath had lighted.
55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
And the women also drew near, they who had come with him from Galila; and they saw the sepulchre, and where the body was laid;
56 Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.
and, returned, they prepared balsams and aromatics, and on the shabath rested, as it is commanded.
