Luke 23
1 The whole council rose and took him to Pilate.

2 There they started to accuse him. “We found this man deceiving our nation, telling people not to pay taxes to Caesar, and claiming he is Messiah, a king,” they said.

3 “Are you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked him. “So you say,” replied Jesus.

4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I don't find this man guilty of any crime.”

5 But they insisted, saying, “He is inciting rebellion all over Judea with his teachings, from Galilee to right here in Jerusalem.”

6 When he heard this, Pilate asked, “Is this man a Galilean?”

7 When he discovered that Jesus came under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod who was also in Jerusalem at the time.

8 Herod was very pleased to see Jesus since he had wanted to meet him for a long time. He had heard about Jesus and was hoping to see him perform a miracle.

9 He asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not answer him at all.

10 The chief priests and religious teachers stood there, angrily accusing him.

11 Herod and his soldiers treated Jesus with contempt and mocked him. Then they placed a royal robe on him and sent him back to Pilate.

12 From that day on Herod and Pilate were friends—before that they had been enemies.

13 Pilate called together the chief priests, rulers, and the people,

14 and told them, “You brought this man before me, accusing him of inciting the people to rebellion. I've carefully examined him in your presence, and do not find him guilty of the charges you have brought against him.

15 Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. He has done nothing that demands he should be put to death.

18 But they all shouted together, “Kill this man, and release Barabbas to us.”

19 (Barabbas had been put in prison for taking part in a rebellion in the city, and for murder.)

20 Pilate wanted to release Jesus, so spoke to them again.

22 Pilate asked them for the third time, “But why? What crime has he committed? I don't find any reason for executing him. So I will have him flogged and then release him.”

23 But they continued insisting with loud shouts, demanding that he be crucified. Their shouting succeeded,

25 He released the man imprisoned for rebellion and murder, but he sent Jesus to be put to death in accordance with their demands.

26 As the soldiers led him away, they seized a man called Simon of Cyrene, who had come in from the countryside. They put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.

33 When they reached the place called the Skull they crucified him together with the criminals, one on his right, and the other on his left.

34 Jesus said, “Father, please forgive them, for they don't know what they're doing.” They divided up his clothes by throwing dice for them.

35 The people stood and watched and the leaders sneered at Jesus. “He saved others, let him save himself, if he is really God's Messiah, the Chosen One,” they said.

36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming up to him and offering him wine vinegar, saying,

39 One of the criminals hanging there joined in the insults against Jesus. “Aren't you the Messiah?” he asked. “Then save yourself—and us too!”

40 But the other criminal disagreed and argued with him, “Don't you fear God even when you're suffering the same punishment?” he asked.

49 But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who'd followed him from Galilee, watched from a distance.

51 but he hadn't agreed with its decisions and actions. He came from the Jewish town of Arimathea, and was waiting expectantly for the kingdom of God.

52 Joseph went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.

53 Once he'd taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen cloth. He laid Jesus in an unused tomb cut into the rock.
