Luke 23
1 And the whole multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.
Καὶ ἀναστὰν, ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος αὐτῶν ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸν Πιλᾶτον.
2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this [man] perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.
Ἤρξαντο δὲ κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ λέγοντες, “Τοῦτον εὕρομεν διαστρέφοντα τὸ ἔθνος ἡμῶν, καὶ κωλύοντα φόρους Καίσαρι διδόναι, καὶ λέγοντα ἑαυτὸν ˚Χριστὸν, βασιλέα εἶναι.”
3 And Pilate demanded of him saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And he answering him said, Thou sayest.
Ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος ἠρώτησεν αὐτὸν λέγων, “Σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων;” Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτῷ ἔφη, “Σὺ λέγεις.”
4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, I find no guilt in this man.
Ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος εἶπεν πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ τοὺς ὄχλους, “Οὐδὲν εὑρίσκω αἴτιον ἐν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τούτῳ.”
5 But they insisted, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee even on to here.
Οἱ δὲ ἐπίσχυον λέγοντες, ὅτι “Ἀνασείει τὸν λαὸν, διδάσκων καθʼ ὅλης τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἕως ὧδε.”
6 But Pilate, having heard Galilee [named], demanded if the man were a Galilaean;
Πιλᾶτος δὲ ἀκούσας, ἐπηρώτησεν εἰ ὁ ἄνθρωπος Γαλιλαῖός ἐστιν.
7 and having learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, remitted him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.
Καὶ ἐπιγνοὺς ὅτι ἐκ τῆς ἐξουσίας Ἡρῴδου ἐστὶν, ἀνέπεμψεν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν Ἡρῴδην, ὄντα καὶ αὐτὸν ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐν ταύταις ταῖς ἡμέραις.
8 And when Herod saw Jesus he greatly rejoiced, for he had been a long while desirous of seeing him, because of hearing many things concerning him, and he hoped to see some sign done by him;
Ὁ δὲ Ἡρῴδης ἰδὼν τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, ἐχάρη λίαν, ἦν γὰρ ἐξ ἱκανῶν χρόνων θέλων ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν, διὰ τὸ ἀκούειν περὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἤλπιζέν τι σημεῖον ἰδεῖν ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ γινόμενον.
9 and he questioned him in many words, but he answered him nothing.
Ἐπηρώτα δὲ αὐτὸν ἐν λόγοις ἱκανοῖς, αὐτὸς δὲ οὐδὲν ἀπεκρίνατο αὐτῷ.
10 And the chief priests and the scribes stood and accused him violently.
Εἱστήκεισαν δὲ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς εὐτόνως κατηγοροῦντες αὐτοῦ.
11 And Herod with his troops having set him at nought and mocked him, having put a splendid robe upon him, sent him back to Pilate.
Ἐξουθενήσας δὲ αὐτὸν καὶ ὁ Ἡρῴδης σὺν τοῖς στρατεύμασιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐμπαίξας περιβαλὼν ἐσθῆτα λαμπρὰν, ἀνέπεμψεν αὐτὸν τῷ Πιλάτῳ.
12 And Pilate and Herod became friends with one another the same day, for they had been at enmity before between themselves.
Ἐγένοντο δὲ φίλοι ὅ τε Ἡρῴδης καὶ ὁ Πιλᾶτος ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ μετʼ ἀλλήλων· προϋπῆρχον γὰρ ἐν ἔχθρᾳ ὄντες πρὸς αὑτούς.
13 And Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
Πιλᾶτος δὲ συγκαλεσάμενος τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς, καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας, καὶ τὸν λαὸν,
14 said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people [to rebellion], and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;
εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, “Προσηνέγκατέ μοι τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦτον, ὡς ἀποστρέφοντα τὸν λαόν, καὶ ἰδοὺ, ἐγὼ ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν ἀνακρίνας, οὐθὲν εὗρον ἐν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τούτῳ αἴτιον ὧν κατηγορεῖτε κατʼ αὐτοῦ.
15 nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.
Ἀλλʼ οὐδὲ Ἡρῴδης, ἀνέπεμψεν γὰρ αὐτὸν πρὸς ἡμᾶς. Καὶ ἰδοὺ, οὐδὲν ἄξιον θανάτου ἐστὶν πεπραγμένον αὐτῷ.
16 Having chastised him therefore, I will release him.
Παιδεύσας οὖν αὐτὸν, ἀπολύσω.”
17 (Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.)
18 But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this [man] and release Barabbas to us;
Ἀνέκραγον δὲ παμπληθεὶ λέγοντες, “Αἶρε τοῦτον, ἀπόλυσον δὲ ἡμῖν τὸν Βαραββᾶν!”
19 who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and [for] murder, had been cast into prison.
Ὅστις ἦν, διὰ στάσιν τινὰ γενομένην ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ φόνον, βληθεὶς ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ.
20 Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed [them].
Πάλιν δὲ ὁ Πιλᾶτος προσεφώνησεν αὐτοῖς, θέλων ἀπολῦσαι τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν.
21 But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.
Οἱ δὲ ἐπεφώνουν λέγοντες, “Σταύρου, σταύρου αὐτόν.”
22 And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this [man] done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.
Ὁ δὲ τρίτον εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, “Τί γὰρ κακὸν ἐποίησεν οὗτος; Οὐδὲν αἴτιον θανάτου εὗρον ἐν αὐτῷ. Παιδεύσας οὖν αὐτὸν, ἀπολύσω.”
23 But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices [and those of the chief priests] prevailed.
Οἱ δὲ ἐπέκειντο φωναῖς μεγάλαις, αἰτούμενοι αὐτὸν σταυρωθῆναι, καὶ κατίσχυον αἱ φωναὶ αὐτῶν.
24 And Pilate adjudged that what they begged should take place.
Καὶ Πιλᾶτος ἐπέκρινεν γενέσθαι τὸ αἴτημα αὐτῶν.
25 And he released him who, for tumult and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they begged for, and Jesus he delivered up to their will.
Ἀπέλυσεν δὲ τὸν διὰ στάσιν καὶ φόνον βεβλημένον εἰς τὴν φυλακὴν, ὃν ᾐτοῦντο, τὸν δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦν παρέδωκεν τῷ θελήματι αὐτῶν.
26 And as they led him away, they laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, and put the cross upon him to bear it behind Jesus.
Καὶ ὡς ἀπήγαγον αὐτόν, ἐπιλαβόμενοι Σίμωνά, τινα Κυρηναῖον ἐρχόμενον ἀπʼ ἀγροῦ, ἐπέθηκαν αὐτῷ τὸν σταυρὸν, φέρειν ὄπισθεν τοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦ.
27 And a great multitude of the people, and of women who wailed and lamented him, followed him.
Ἠκολούθει δὲ αὐτῷ πολὺ πλῆθος τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ γυναικῶν αἳ ἐκόπτοντο καὶ ἐθρήνουν αὐτόν.
28 And Jesus turning round to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me, but weep over yourselves and over your children;
Στραφεὶς δὲ πρὸς αὐτὰς, ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, “Θυγατέρες Ἰερουσαλήμ, μὴ κλαίετε ἐπʼ ἐμέ, πλὴν ἐφʼ ἑαυτὰς κλαίετε, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν.
29 for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed [are] the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck.
Ὅτι ἰδοὺ, ἔρχονται ἡμέραι ἐν αἷς ἐροῦσιν, ‘Μακάριαι αἱ στεῖραι, καὶ κοιλίαι αἳ οὐκ ἐγέννησαν, καὶ μαστοὶ οἳ οὐκ ἔθρεψαν.’
30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us:
Τότε ‘ἄρξονται λέγειν τοῖς ὄρεσιν, “Πέσετε ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς”, καὶ τοῖς βουνοῖς, “Καλύψατε ἡμᾶς”.’
31 for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?
Ὅτι εἰ ἐν τῷ ὑγρῷ ξύλῳ, ταῦτα ποιοῦσιν, ἐν τῷ ξηρῷ, τί γένηται;”
32 Now two others also, malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.
Ἤγοντο δὲ καὶ ἕτεροι κακοῦργοι δύο σὺν αὐτῷ ἀναιρεθῆναι.
33 And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.
Καὶ ὅτε ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τὸν καλούμενον Κρανίον, ἐκεῖ ἐσταύρωσαν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς κακούργους, ὃν μὲν ἐκ δεξιῶν, ὃν δὲ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν.
34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.
Διαμεριζόμενοι δὲ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, ἔβαλον κλῆρον.
35 And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also [with them] sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.
Καὶ εἱστήκει ὁ λαὸς θεωρῶν. ἐξεμυκτήριζον δὲ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες λέγοντες, “Ἄλλους ἔσωσεν, σωσάτω ἑαυτόν, εἰ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ˚Χριστὸς, ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ὁ ἐκλεκτός.”
36 And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,
Ἐνέπαιξαν δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ οἱ στρατιῶται προσερχόμενοι, ὄξος προσφέροντες αὐτῷ,
37 and saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
καὶ λέγοντες, “Εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ Βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων, σῶσον σεαυτόν!”
38 And there was also an inscription [written] over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.
Ἦν δὲ καὶ ἐπιγραφὴ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ: “Ὁ Βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων οὗτος.”
39 Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.
Εἷς δὲ τῶν κρεμασθέντων κακούργων ἐβλασφήμει αὐτόν λέγων, “Οὐχὶ σὺ εἶ ὁ ˚Χριστός; Σῶσον σεαυτὸν καὶ ἡμᾶς!”
40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost thou too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἕτερος ἐπιτιμῶν αὐτῷ ἔφη, “Οὐδὲ φοβῇ σὺ τὸν ˚Θεόν, ὅτι ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ κρίματι εἶ;
41 and we indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this [man] has done nothing amiss.
Καὶ ἡμεῖς μὲν δικαίως, ἄξια γὰρ ὧν ἐπράξαμεν ἀπολαμβάνομεν· οὗτος δὲ οὐδὲν ἄτοπον ἔπραξεν.”
42 And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [Lord, ] when thou comest in thy kingdom.
Καὶ ἔλεγεν, “˚Ἰησοῦ, Μνήσθητί μου, ὅταν ἔλθῃς εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν σου!”
43 And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Ἀμήν, σοι λέγω, σήμερον μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἔσῃ ἐν τῷ Παραδείσῳ.”
44 And it was about [the] sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour.
Καὶ ἦν ἤδη ὡσεὶ ὥρα ἕκτη, καὶ σκότος ἐγένετο ἐφʼ ὅλην τὴν γῆν ἕως ὥρας ἐνάτης.
45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple rent in the midst.
Τοῦ ἡλίου ἐκλιπόντος, ἐσχίσθη δὲ τὸ καταπέτασμα τοῦ ναοῦ μέσον.
46 And Jesus, having cried with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, he expired.
Καὶ φωνήσας φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, “Πάτερ, ‘εἰς χεῖράς σου παρατίθεμαι τὸ ˚Πνεῦμά μου’.” Τοῦτο δὲ εἰπὼν, ἐξέπνευσεν.
47 Now the centurion, seeing what took place, glorified God, saying, In very deed this man was just.
Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ ἑκατοντάρχης τὸ γενόμενον, ἐδόξασεν τὸν ˚Θεὸν λέγων, “Ὄντως ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος δίκαιος ἦν.”
48 And all the crowds who had come together to that sight, having seen the things that took place, returned, beating [their] breasts.
Καὶ πάντες οἱ συμπαραγενόμενοι ὄχλοι ἐπὶ τὴν θεωρίαν ταύτην, θεωρήσαντες τὰ γενόμενα, τύπτοντες τὰ στήθη ὑπέστρεφον.
49 And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.
Εἱστήκεισαν δὲ πάντες οἱ γνωστοὶ αὐτῷ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν, καὶ γυναῖκες αἱ συνακολουθοῦσαι αὐτῷ ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, ὁρῶσαι ταῦτα.
50 And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good man and a just
Καὶ ἰδοὺ, ἀνὴρ ὀνόματι Ἰωσὴφ, βουλευτὴς ὑπάρχων, καὶ ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς καὶ δίκαιος
51 (this [man] had not assented to their counsel and deed), of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who also waited, [himself also, ] for the kingdom of God
(οὗτος οὐκ ἦν συγκατατεθειμένος τῇ βουλῇ καὶ τῇ πράξει αὐτῶν), ἀπὸ Ἁριμαθαίας, πόλεως τῶν Ἰουδαίων, ὃς προσεδέχετο τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.
52 — he having gone to Pilate begged the body of Jesus;
Οὗτος προσελθὼν τῷ Πιλάτῳ, ᾐτήσατο τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦ.
53 and having taken it down, wrapped it in fine linen and placed him in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no one had ever been laid.
Καὶ καθελὼν, ἐνετύλιξεν αὐτὸ σινδόνι καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὸν ἐν μνήματι λαξευτῷ, οὗ οὐκ ἦν οὐδεὶς οὔπω κείμενος.
54 And it was preparation day, and [the] sabbath twilight was coming on.
Καὶ ἡμέρα ἦν παρασκευῆς, καὶ Σάββατον ἐπέφωσκεν.
55 And women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed, saw the sepulchre and how his body was placed.
Κατακολουθήσασαι δὲ, αἱ γυναῖκες, αἵτινες ἦσαν συνεληλυθυῖαι ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας αὐτῷ, ἐθεάσαντο τὸ μνημεῖον καὶ ὡς ἐτέθη τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ.
56 And having returned they prepared aromatic spices and ointments, and remained quiet on the sabbath, according to the commandment.
Ὑποστρέψασαι δὲ, ἡτοίμασαν ἀρώματα καὶ μύρα. Καὶ τὸ μὲν Σάββατον ἡσύχασαν κατὰ τὴν ἐντολήν.
