Luke 23
1 And one and all the throng of them, arising, led him unto Pilate.
And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him to Pilate.
2 And they began to accuse him, saying—This one, found we, perverting our nation, and forbidding to give, tribute unto Caesar, —and affirming himself to be, an anointed king.
And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
3 And, Pilate, questioned him, saying—Art, thou, the king of the Jews? And, he, answering him, said—Thou, sayest.
And Pilate asked him, saying, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, You say it.
4 And, Pilate, said unto the High-priests and the multitudes, Nothing, find I, worthy of blame, in this man.
Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
5 But, they, began to be urgent, saying—He is stirring up the people, teaching along all Judaea, even beginning from Galilee unto this place.
And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
6 Now, Pilate, hearing [that], questioned whether the man was, a Galilaean.
When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
7 And, getting to know that he was of the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he also, being in Jerusalem in these days.
And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
8 And, Herod, seeing Jesus, rejoiced exceedingly; for he had been, a considerable number of times, wishing to see him, —because he had heard concerning him, and was hoping, some sign, to behold, by him, brought to pass.
And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
9 And he went on to question him in a good many words; but, he, answered him, nothing.
Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
10 And the High-priests and the Scribes stood vehemently accusing him.
And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
11 And Herod with his soldiery, having set him at nought, and mocked him, threw about him a gorgeous robe, and sent him back unto Pilate.
And Herod with his men of war set him at nothing, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
12 And they became friends—both Herod and Pilate—on the self-same day, one with another; for they had previously been at enmity between themselves.
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
13 And, Pilate, calling together the High-priests, and the Rulers, and the people,
And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 said unto them—Ye brought unto me this man, as one turning away the people, and lo! I, in your presence, examining him, found, nothing, in this man worthy of blame, in respect of the things whereof ye were making accusation against him.
Said to them, You have brought this man to me, as one that perverts the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof you accuse him:
15 Nay! nor Herod; for he hath sent him back unto you, —and lo! nothing worthy of death, hath been done by him.
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, see, nothing worthy of death is done to him.
16 So, then, chastising him, I will release him.
I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
(For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.)
18 But they cried aloud, with the whole throng, saying—Away with this man! and release unto us Barabbas: —
And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas:
19 who indeed, because of a certain revolt which had occurred in the city, and of murder, had been thrown into prison.
(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
20 Again, however, Pilate, called out unto them, wishing to release Jesus.
Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them.
21 But, they, called out in return, saying—Crucify! crucify him!
But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
22 But, he, the third time, said unto them—Why! what base thing hath this man done? Nothing worthy of death, found I in him. Chastising him, then, I will release him!
And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil has he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
23 But they became urgent with loud voices, claiming to have him crucified; and their voices began to prevail.
And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
24 And, Pilate, consented, that their request should be granted;
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
25 and released him who, for revolt and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they claimed, —whereas, Jesus, delivered he up unto their will.
And he released to them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
26 And, as they led him away, they laid hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the country, —they laid on him the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
And as they led him away, they laid hold on one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
27 And there was following him a great throng of the people, and of women, who were smiting themselves and lamenting him.
And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
28 But, turning towards them, Jesus said—Daughters of Jerusalem! Do not weep for me; but, for yourselves, be weeping, and for your children.
But Jesus turning to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
29 For lo! days are coming, in which they will say—Happy the barren! even the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.
For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which never gave suck.
30 Then, will they begin to say—unto the mountains, Fall upon us! and unto the hills, Cover us!
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
31 Because if, in moist wood, these things, they are doing, —in, the dry, what shall happen?
For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
32 And there were being led, two other evil-doers also, to be lifted up.
And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
33 And, when they came into the place which was called Skull, there, they crucified him; and the evil-doers, one indeed on the right hand, and the other on the left.
And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34 But, Jesus, was saying—Father! forgive them; for they know not what they do. And, when they were parting his garments, they cast lots.
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
35 And the people were standing, looking on. But the rulers were sneering, saying—Others, he saved, let him save himself, —if, this, is, the Christ of God, the Chosen.
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
36 Moreover the soldiers also mocked him, —coming near, offering, vinegar, unto him,
And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
37 and saying—If, thou, art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
And saying, If you be the king of the Jews, save yourself.
38 Now there was an inscription also, over him—THE KING OF THE JEWS, THIS!
And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 And, one of the suspended evil-doers, began to defame him—Art not, thou, the Christ? Save thyself and us!
And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If you be Christ, save yourself and us.
40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, and said—Neither fearest, thou, God, in that thou art, in the same judgment?
But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Do not you fear God, seeing you are in the same condemnation?
41 And, we, indeed, justly, —for, things worthy of what we have done, are we duly receiving, but, this man, nothing amiss, hath done.
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man has done nothing amiss.
42 And he went on to say—Jesus! remember me, whensoever thou shalt come into thy kingdom.
And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.
43 And he said unto him—Verily, I say unto thee this day: With me, shalt thou be in Paradise.
And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, To day shall you be with me in paradise.
44 And it was already about the sixth hour, and, darkness, came upon the whole land, until the ninth hour, —
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45 the sun failing; and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the middle.
46 And, calling out with a loud voice, Jesus said—Father! into thy hands, I commend my spirit. And, this, saying, he ceased to breathe.
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
47 And the centurion, beholding that which came to pass, began to glorify God, saying—In very deed, this man, was, righteous.
Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
48 And, all the multitudes who had been drawn together unto this spectacle, having looked upon the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts, began to return.
And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
49 But all they who were acquainted with him, were standing afar off, women also who had followed with him from Galilee, —beholding these things.
And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
50 And lo! a man, by name Joseph, being, a councillor, —a good and righteous man
And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor; and he was a good man, and a just:
51 (the same had not consented unto their plan and deed), —from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was awaiting the kingdom of God,
(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them; ) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
52 the same, going unto Pilate, claimed the body of Jesus.
This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
53 And, taking it down, he wrapped it in a fine Indian cloth, and laid him in a tomb hewn in stone, —where no one as yet was lying.
And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
54 And it was a day of preparation, and, a Sabbath, was about to dawn.
And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
55 And the women, they who had come out of Galilee with him, following after, observed the tomb, and how his body was laid.
And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.
56 And, returning, they made ready spices and perfumes. And, on the Sabbath, indeed, they were quiet, according to the commandment;
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
