< Luke 23 >

1 The whole council rose and took him to Pilate.
And having risen up all the multitude of them (they led *N(k)O*) 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.
They began then to accuse Him saying; This [man] we found misleading the nation (of us *NO*) and forbidding tribute to Caesar to be given (and *no*) declaring Himself Christ a king to be.
3 “Are you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked him. “So you say,” replied Jesus.
And Pilate (asked *N(k)O*) Him saying; You yourself are the King of the Jews? And answering him He was saying; You yourself say.
4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I don't find this man guilty of any crime.”
And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds; No [thing] find I guilty in man this.
5 But they insisted, saying, “He is inciting rebellion all over Judea with his teachings, from Galilee to right here in Jerusalem.”
But they were insisting saying that He stirs up the people teaching throughout all of Judea (and *no*) He has begun from Galilee until here.
6 When he heard this, Pilate asked, “Is this man a Galilean?”
Pilate now having heard (Galilee *KO*) asked whether the man a Galilean is,
7 When he discovered that Jesus came under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod who was also in Jerusalem at the time.
and having learned that from the jurisdiction of Herod He is, he sent up Him to (*o*) Herod being also he himself in Jerusalem in those days.
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.
And Herod having seen Jesus [was] glad exceedingly; he was for of (long *N(k)O*) time wishing to see Him because of hearing (many things *K*) concerning Him and he was hoping some sign to see by Him done.
9 He asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not answer him at all.
He was questioning then Him in words many; He himself however no [thing] answered him.
10 The chief priests and religious teachers stood there, angrily accusing him.
Had been standing by now the chief priests and the scribes vehemently 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.
Having set at naught then Him (also *no*) Herod with the troops of him and having mocked [and] having put on (Him *ko*) apparel splendid, sent back Him to Pilate.
12 From that day on Herod and Pilate were friends—before that they had been enemies.
Became then friends both Herod and Pilate on that day with one another; they were formerly for at enmity they were between (them. *N(k)(o)*)
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, rulers, and the people,
Pilate then having called together the chief priests and the 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.
said to them; You brought to me man this as misleading the people; and behold I myself before you having examined [Him] no [thing] found in man this guilty of that accusation you are bringing 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.
But not even [did] Herod; (he sent back *N(K)O*) for Him to (us *N(K)O*) And behold no [thing] worthy of death is done by Him.
16 So I will have him flogged and then release him.”
Having chastised therefore Him I will release [Him].
(necessity *KO*) (now had to release to them according to feast one. *K*)
18 But they all shouted together, “Kill this man, and release Barabbas to us.”
(They cried out *N(k)O*) however all together saying; do remove this [man], do release now to us Barabbas;
19 (Barabbas had been put in prison for taking part in a rebellion in the city, and for murder.)
who was on account of insurrection a certain having been made in the city and murder (being cast into *N(k)O*) (the *no*) (prison. *N(k)O*)
20 Pilate wanted to release Jesus, so spoke to them again.
Again (therefore *N(k)O*) Pilate called to them wishing to release Jesus.
21 But they kept on shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
But they were crying out saying; (do crucify do crucify *N(k)O*) Him.
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.”
And a third [time] he said to them; What for evil did commit this [man]? No [thing] worthy of death found I in Him. Having chastised therefore Him I will release [Him].
23 But they continued insisting with loud shouts, demanding that he be crucified. Their shouting succeeded,
But they were urgent with voices loud asking for Him to be crucified, And were prevailing the voices of them (and of the chief priests. *KO*)
24 and Pilate gave the sentence they demanded.
(*k*) (and *N(k)O*) Pilate sentenced to be done the demand of them.
25 He released the man imprisoned for rebellion and murder, but he sent Jesus to be put to death in accordance with their demands.
He released then (to them *k*) the [one] on account of insurrection and murder cast into (*k*) prison whom they were asking for; and Jesus he delivered to the will of them.
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.
And as they led away Him, having laid hold on (Simon a certain from Cyrene *N(k)O*) (who *k*) (is coming *N(k)O*) from [the] country they put upon him the cross to carry behind Jesus.
27 A large crowd followed him, along with women who were mourning and lamenting him.
Were following now Him a great multitude of the people and of women who (also *k*) were mourning and they were lamenting for Him.
28 Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don't weep for me. Weep for yourselves and your children.
Having turned then to them Jesus said; Daughters of Jerusalem, not do weep for Me myself, but for yourselves do weep and for the children of you.
29 For the time is coming when they'll say, ‘Happy are those who are childless, and those who never had babies, and those who never nursed them.’
For behold are coming days in which they will say; Blessed [are] the barren and (the *no*) wombs that never did bear and breasts that never (they feed. *N(k)O*)
30 They'll say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’
Then They will begin to say to the mountains; do fall upon us; and to the hills; do cover us.
31 For if they do this to wood that is green, what will happen when it's dried out?”
For if in the green tree these things they do, in the dry what may happen?
32 They also took two others who were criminals to be executed with him.
Were being led away now also other criminals two with Him to be executed.
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.
And when (they came *N(k)O*) to the place which is being called [The] Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, the one on [the] right, another and on [the] 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.
And Jesus was saying; Father, do forgive them; not for they know what they do. Dividing then the garments of Him they cast (lots. *NK(o)*)
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.
And had stood the people beholding. Were deriding [Him] then also the rulers (with them *k*) saying; Others He saved, he should save Himself if this is the Christ (*ko*) of God (the *no*) Chosen [One].
36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming up to him and offering him wine vinegar, saying,
(Mocked *N(k)O*) then Him also the soldiers coming near, (and *k*) sour wine offering to Him
37 “If you're the King of the Jews, then save yourself.”
and saying; If You yourself are the King of the Jews, do save Yourself!
38 Above Jesus was a sign on which it was written, “This is the King of the Jews.”
There was now also an inscription (written *K(o)*) over Him (writings in Greek and in Latin and in Hebrew; is *K*) the King of the Jews This [is].
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!”
One now of those having been hanged criminals he was denigrating Him saying: (Surely *N(K)O*) you yourself are the Christ? do save Yourself and us!
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.
Answering now the other (rebuking *N(k)O*) him (was speaking; *N(k)O*) Not even do fear you yourself God that under the same judgment you are?
41 “For us the sentence is right since we're being punished for what we did, but this man didn't do anything wrong.”
and we ourselves indeed justly, Worthy for of what we did we are receiving; [this] man however no [thing] wrong did.
42 Then he said, “Jesus, please remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
And he was saying: (*k*) Jesus, do remember me (Lord *K*) when You may come (into *N(k)O*) (the kingdom *NK(o)*) of You!
43 Jesus replied, “I promise you today you will be with me in paradise.”
And He said to him (Jesus: *ko*) Amen to you I say: today with Me you will be in Paradise.
44 By this time it was around noon and darkness fell over the whole land until three in the afternoon.
(And *no*) it was (now *k*) (already *no*) about [the] hour sixth, and darkness came over all the land until [the] hour ninth
45 The sun's light was shut out, and the Temple veil was torn in two.
(and *ko*) (The sun darkened. *N(k)O*) (and *ko*) was torn (then *no*) the veil of the temple in [the] middle.
46 Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, I place myself in your hands.” Having said this he breathed his last.
And having called out in a voice loud Jesus said; Father, into [the] hands of You (I myself commit *N(k)O*) the Spirit of Mine. (This now *N(k)O*) having said He breathed His last.
47 When the centurion saw what had happened he praised God and said, “Surely this man was innocent.”
Having seen now the centurion that having taken place (he was glorifying *N(k)O*) God saying; Certainly man this righteous was.
48 When all the crowds that had come to watch saw what happened they went home beating their chests in grief.
And all the having come together crowds to spectacle this, (having seen *N(k)O*) the [things] having taken place, beating (their own *k*) breasts were returning [home].
49 But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who'd followed him from Galilee, watched from a distance.
Had stood now all those who knew (with Him *N(k)O*) (from *no*) afar off also women those (having followed *N(k)O*) Him from Galilee beholding these things.
50 There was a man called Joseph who was good and honest. He was a member of the council,
And behold a man named Joseph a Council member being (also *n*) a man good and righteous;
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.
he not was having consented to the counsel and to the deed of them; from Arimathea a city of the Jews, who (and *k*) he was waiting for (and himself *k*) the kingdom of God,
52 Joseph went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.
He having gone to Pilate asked [for] the body of Jesus.
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.
And having taken down (it *k*) he wrapped it in a linen cloth and placed (it *N(k)O*) in a tomb cut in a rock in which no were no [one] (not yet *N(k)O*) laid.
54 It was preparation day and the Sabbath would soon begin.
And [the] Day it was (of Preparation, *NK(o)*) and Sabbath was just beginning.
55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee had followed Joseph and had seen the tomb where Jesus' body had been laid.
Having followed then (and *k*) (the *no*) women who were having come from Galilee with Him saw the tomb and how was laid the body of Him.
56 They returned home and prepared spices and ointments. But on the Sabbath they rested, observing the commandment.
Having returned then they prepared spices and anointing oils And on the indeed Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
