< Luke 23 >
1 AND the whole multitude of them rising up, led him to Pilate,
Καὶ ἀναστὰν ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος αὐτῶν (ἤγαγον *N(k)O*) αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸν Πιλᾶτον.
2 and began to accuse him, saying, We have found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar; pretending that he himself is the King Messiah.
Ἤρξαντο δὲ κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· τοῦτον εὕραμεν διαστρέφοντα τὸ ἔθνος (ἡμῶν *NO*) καὶ κωλύοντα φόρους Καίσαρι διδόναι (καὶ *no*) λέγοντα ἑαυτὸν χριστὸν βασιλέα εἶναι.
3 Then Pilate interrogated him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said to him, Thou sayest so.
Ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος (ἠρώτησεν *N(k)O*) αὐτὸν λέγων· σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων; ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτῷ ἔφη· σὺ λέγεις.
4 Then said Pilate unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find nothing culpable in this man.
ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος εἶπεν πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ τοὺς ὄχλους· οὐδὲν εὑρίσκω αἴτιον ἐν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τούτῳ.
5 But they were urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching through all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.
οἱ δὲ ἐπίσχυον λέγοντες ὅτι ἀνασείει τὸν λαὸν διδάσκων καθ᾽ ὅλης τῆς Ἰουδαίας (καὶ *no*) ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἕως ὧδε.
6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean?
Πιλᾶτος δὲ ἀκούσας (Γαλιλαίαν *KO*) ἐπηρώτησεν εἰ ὁ ἄνθρωπος Γαλιλαῖός ἐστιν,
7 And when he knew that he came out of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself at Jerusalem in those days.
καὶ ἐπιγνοὺς ὅτι ἐκ τῆς ἐξουσίας Ἡρῴδου ἐστίν, ἀνέπεμψεν αὐτὸν πρὸς (τὸν *o*) Ἡρῴδην ὄντα καὶ αὐτὸν ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐν ταύταις ταῖς ἡμέραις.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was vastly delighted: for he had been long desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some miracle wrought by him.
Ὁ δὲ Ἡρῴδης ἰδὼν τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐχάρη λίαν· ἦν γὰρ ἐξ (ἱκανῶν *N(k)O*) χρόνων θέλων ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν διὰ τὸ ἀκούειν (πολλὰ *K*) περὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἤλπιζέν τι σημεῖον ἰδεῖν ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ γινόμενον.
9 And he put a variety of questions to him; but he made him no reply.
ἐπηρώτα δὲ αὐτὸν ἐν λόγοις ἱκανοῖς· αὐτὸς δὲ οὐδὲν ἀπεκρίνατο αὐτῷ.
10 And the chief priests and the scribes stood up vehemently accusing him.
εἱστήκεισαν δὲ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς εὐτόνως κατηγοροῦντες αὐτοῦ.
11 Then Herod with his guards treated him with contempt, and in derision clothed him in a splendid robe, and sent him back to Pilate.
ἐξουθενήσας δὲ αὐτὸν (καὶ *no*) ὁ Ἡρῴδης σὺν τοῖς στρατεύμασιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐμπαίξας, περιβαλὼν (αὐτὸν *ko*) ἐσθῆτα λαμπρὰν ἀνέπεμψεν αὐτὸν τῷ Πιλάτῳ.
12 And Pilate and Herod the same day became friends together: for they had previously been at enmity with each other.
ἐγένοντο δὲ φίλοι ὅ τε Ἡρῴδης καὶ ὁ Πιλᾶτος ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ μετ᾽ ἀλλήλων· προϋπῆρχον γὰρ ἐν ἔχθρᾳ ὄντες πρὸς (αὐτούς. *N(k)(o)*)
13 Then Pilate, convoking the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
Πιλᾶτος δὲ συγκαλεσάμενος τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ τὸν λαὸν
14 said unto them, Ye have brought this man to me, as one who perverteth the people: and lo! on examining him before you, I have found nothing culpable in this man, respecting the charges ye bring against 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 κατ᾽ αὐτοῦ·
15 nor Herod neither: for I referred you to him; and, lo, nothing is done to this man, as if he deserved death.
ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲ Ἡρῴδης· (ἀνέπεμψεν *N(K)O*) γὰρ αὐτὸν πρὸς (ἡμᾶς, *N(K)O*) καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐδὲν ἄξιον θανάτου ἐστὶν πεπραγμένον αὐτῷ.
16 I will therefore, after scourging, discharge him.
παιδεύσας οὖν αὐτὸν ἀπολύσω.
17 (Now he held it necessary to release one to them at the feast.)
(ἀνάγκην *KO*) (δέ εἶχεν ἀπολύειν αὐτοῖς κατὰ ἑορτὴν ἕνα. *K*)
18 Then the whole multitude set up a cry, saying, Away with this fellow, and release unto us Barabbas!
(ἀνέκραγον *N(k)O*) δὲ παμπληθεὶ λέγοντες· αἶρε τοῦτον, ἀπόλυσον δὲ ἡμῖν τὸν Βαραββᾶν·
19 (who for a certain sedition raised in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison.)
ὅστις ἦν διὰ στάσιν τινὰ γενομένην ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ φόνον (βληθεὶς ἐν *N(k)O*) (τῇ *no*) (φυλακῇ. *N(k)O*)
20 Again therefore Pilate called out to them, desirous to see Jesus at liberty.
Πάλιν (δὲ *N(k)O*) ὁ Πιλᾶτος προσεφώνησεν αὐτοῖς θέλων ἀπολῦσαι τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
21 But they clamoured the more, saying, Crucify, crucify him.
οἱ δὲ ἐπεφώνουν λέγοντες· (σταύρου σταύρου *N(k)O*) αὐτόν.
22 Then the third time he said to them, What evil hath this man done? I have found nothing deserving death in him: I will therefore, after scourging, discharge 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 instant with the most clamorous vociferations, soliciting that he might be crucified. And their clamours, and those of the chief priests, bore him down.
οἱ δὲ ἐπέκειντο φωναῖς μεγάλαις αἰτούμενοι αὐτὸν σταυρωθῆναι, καὶ κατίσχυον αἱ φωναὶ αὐτῶν (καὶ τῶν ἀρχιερέων. *KO*)
24 Then Pilate decreed that their petition should be granted.
(ὁ *k*) (καὶ *N(k)O*) Πιλᾶτος ἐπέκρινεν γενέσθαι τὸ αἴτημα αὐτῶν.
25 Then released he to them him who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison; but he gave up Jesus to their will.
ἀπέλυσεν δὲ (αὐτοῖς *k*) τὸν διὰ στάσιν καὶ φόνον βεβλημένον εἰς (τὴν *k*) φυλακὴν ὃν ᾐτοῦντο· τὸν δὲ Ἰησοῦν παρέδωκεν τῷ θελήματι αὐτῶν.
26 And as they led him out, laying hold on one Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, they laid on him the cross, to carry after Jesus.
Καὶ ὡς ἀπήγαγον αὐτόν, ἐπιλαβόμενοι (Σίμωνά τινα Κυρηναῖον *N(k)O*) (τοῦ *k*) (ἐρχόμενον *N(k)O*) ἀπ᾽ ἀγροῦ ἐπέθηκαν αὐτῷ τὸν σταυρὸν φέρειν ὄπισθεν τοῦ Ἰησοῦ.
27 And a great multitude of the people and of women followed him, who also beat their breasts and lamented him bitterly.
Ἠκολούθει δὲ αὐτῷ πολὺ πλῆθος τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ γυναικῶν αἳ (καὶ *k*) ἐκόπτοντο καὶ ἐθρήνουν αὐτόν.
28 But Jesus turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves, and for your children.
στραφεὶς δὲ πρὸς αὐτὰς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· θυγατέρες Ἰερουσαλήμ, μὴ κλαίετε ἐπ᾽ ἐμέ, πλὴν ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτὰς κλαίετε καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν.
29 For, behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs which have not borne, and the breasts which never suckled.
ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἔρχονται ἡμέραι ἐν αἷς ἐροῦσιν· μακάριαι αἱ στεῖραι καὶ (αἱ *no*) κοιλίαι αἳ οὐκ ἐγέννησαν καὶ μαστοὶ οἳ οὐκ (ἔθρεψαν. *N(k)O*)
30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the hills, Cover us!
τότε ἄρξονται λέγειν τοῖς ὄρεσιν· πέσετε ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς· καὶ τοῖς βουνοῖς· καλύψατε ἡμᾶς.
31 For if they do all these things with the green wood, what will be done with the dry?
ὅτι εἰ ἐν τῷ ὑγρῷ ξύλῳ ταῦτα ποιοῦσιν, ἐν τῷ ξηρῷ τί γένηται;
32 Now there were two other persons, malefactors, led out with him to be executed.
Ἤγοντο δὲ καὶ ἕτεροι κακοῦργοι δύο σὺν αὐτῷ ἀναιρεθῆναι.
33 And when they came to a place called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, the one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
καὶ ὅτε (ἦλθον *N(k)O*) 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. Then dividing his garments, they cast the lot.
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἔλεγεν· πάτερ, ἄφες αὐτοῖς· οὐ γὰρ οἴδασιν τί ποιοῦσιν. διαμεριζόμενοι δὲ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἔβαλον (κλήρους. *NK(o)*)
35 And the people stood looking on. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this fellow is the Messiah, the elect of God.
καὶ εἱστήκει ὁ λαὸς θεωρῶν. ἐξεμυκτήριζον δὲ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες (σὺν αὐτοῖς *k*) λέγοντες· ἄλλους ἔσωσεν, σωσάτω ἑαυτόν, εἰ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ χριστὸς (ὁ *ko*) τοῦ θεοῦ (ὁ *no*) ἐκλεκτός.
36 And the soldiers also insulted him, coming and offering him vinegar,
(ἐνέπαιξαν *N(k)O*) δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ οἱ στρατιῶται προσερχόμενοι, (καὶ *k*) ὄξος προσφέροντες αὐτῷ
37 and saying, if thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
καὶ λέγοντες· εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων, σῶσον σεαυτόν.
38 And there was an inscription written over him in Greek, Roman, and Hebrew characters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
ἦν δὲ καὶ ἐπιγραφὴ (γεγραμμένη *K(o)*) ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ (γράμμασιν Ἑλληνικοῖς καὶ Ῥωμαϊκοῖς καὶ Ἑβραϊκοῖς· ἐστιν *K*) ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων οὗτος.
39 Then one of the suspended malefactors blasphemed him, saying, If thou art the Messiah, save thyself and us.
Εἷς δὲ τῶν κρεμασθέντων κακούργων ἐβλασφήμει αὐτὸν λέγων· (οὐχὶ *N(K)O*) σὺ εἶ ὁ χριστός; σῶσον σεαυτὸν καὶ ἡμᾶς.
40 But the other addressing him, rebuked him, saying, Hast thou no fear of God, when thou art under the same condemnation?
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἕτερος (ἐπιτιμῶν *N(k)O*) αὐτῷ (ἔφη· *N(k)O*) οὐδὲ φοβῇ σὺ τὸν θεὸν ὅτι ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ κρίματι εἶ;
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive deserved punishment for the crimes we have committed: but this man hath 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· (τῷ *k*) Ἰησοῦ, μνήσθητί μου (κύριε *K*) ὅταν ἔλθῃς (εἰς *N(k)O*) (τὴν βασιλείαν *NK(o)*) σου.
43 And Jesus said to him. Verily I say unto thee, To-day thou shalt be with me in paradise.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ (ὁ Ἰησοῦς· *ko*) ἀμήν σοι λέγω· σήμερον μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἔσῃ ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ.
44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
(Καὶ *no*) ἦν (δὲ *k*) (ἤδη *no*) ὡσεὶ ὥρα ἕκτη, καὶ σκότος ἐγένετο ἐφ᾽ ὅλην τὴν γῆν ἕως ὥρας ἐνάτης
45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
(καὶ *ko*) (τοῦ ἡλίου ἐκλιπόντος. *N(k)O*) (καὶ *ko*) ἐσχίσθη (δὲ *no*) τὸ καταπέτασμα τοῦ ναοῦ μέσον.
46 And Jesus crying 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 *N(k)O*) τὸ πνεῦμά μου. (τοῦτο δὲ *N(k)O*) εἰπὼν ἐξέπνευσεν.
47 And the centurion observing what had come to pass, glorified God, saying, Verily this man was a righteous person.
Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ ἑκατοντάρχης τὸ γενόμενον (ἐδόξαζεν *N(k)O*) τὸν θεὸν λέγων· ὄντως ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος δίκαιος ἦν.
48 And all the multitudes who had come together for this spectacle, when they saw the things which were done, beating their breasts, returned.
καὶ πάντες οἱ συμπαραγενόμενοι ὄχλοι ἐπὶ τὴν θεωρίαν ταύτην, (θεωρήσαντες *N(k)O*) τὰ γενόμενα, τύπτοντες (ἑαυτῶν *k*) τὰ στήθη ὑπέστρεφον.
49 And all his acquaintance stood afar off, and the women which followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.
Εἱστήκεισαν δὲ πάντες οἱ γνωστοὶ (αὐτῷ *N(k)O*) (ἀπὸ *no*) μακρόθεν καὶ γυναῖκες αἱ (συνακολουθοῦσαι *N(k)O*) αὐτῷ ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ὁρῶσαι ταῦτα.
50 And lo! a man named Joseph, being a member of the council, a good man, and a just;
Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ὀνόματι Ἰωσὴφ βουλευτὴς ὑπάρχων, (καὶ *n*) ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς καὶ δίκαιος·
51 (who had not given his assent to their determination and deed; ) being of Arimathea, a city of the Jews: who himself also expected the coming of the kingdom of God.
οὗτος οὐκ ἦν συγκατατεθειμένος τῇ βουλῇ καὶ τῇ πράξει αὐτῶν· ἀπὸ Ἁριμαθαίας πόλεως τῶν Ἰουδαίων, ὃς (καὶ *k*) προσεδέχετο (καὶ αὐτὸς *k*) τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ,
52 He went in to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
οὗτος προσελθὼν τῷ Πιλάτῳ ᾐτήσατο τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ.
53 And taking it down from the cross, he wrapped it in linen cloth, and laid it in a sepulchre hewn out of a rock, where none had ever yet lain.
καὶ καθελὼν (αὐτὸ *k*) ἐνετύλιξεν αὐτὸ σινδόνι καὶ ἔθηκεν (αὐτὸν *N(k)O*) ἐν μνήματι λαξευτῷ οὗ οὐκ ἦν οὐδεὶς (οὔπω *N(k)O*) κείμενος.
54 And that was the preparation-day, and the sabbath’s twilight was approaching.
Καὶ ἡμέρα ἦν (παρασκευῆς, *NK(o)*) καὶ σάββατον ἐπέφωσκεν.
55 Then the women also, his attendants, who had followed him out of Galilee, observed the sepulchre, and how his corpse was laid out.
κατακολουθήσασαι δὲ (καὶ *k*) (αἱ *no*) γυναῖκες αἵτινες ἦσαν συνεληλυθυῖαι ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας αὐτῷ, ἐθεάσαντο τὸ μνημεῖον καὶ ὡς ἐτέθη τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ.
56 And returning, they made preparation of aromatics and unguents; and they rested the sabbath-day, according to the commandment.
ὑποστρέψασαι δὲ ἡτοίμασαν ἀρώματα καὶ μύρα καὶ τὸ μὲν σάββατον ἡσύχασαν κατὰ τὴν ἐντολήν.
