Luke 23
1 And one and all the throng of them, arising, led him unto Pilate.
And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead 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 began to accuse him, saying, 'This one we found perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be 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 questioned him, saying, 'Thou art the king of the Jews?' and he answering him, said, 'Thou dost say [it].'
4 And, Pilate, said unto the High-priests and the multitudes, Nothing, find I, worthy of blame, in this man.
And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, '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 urgent, saying — 'He doth stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea — having begun from Galilee — unto this place.'
6 Now, Pilate, hearing [that], questioned whether the man was, a Galilaean.
And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean,
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 having known that he is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he being also in Jerusalem in those days.
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 Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long [time] to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done by him,
9 And he went on to question him in a good many words; but, he, answered him, nothing.
and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.
10 And the High-priests and the Scribes stood vehemently accusing him.
And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing 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 soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back 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 both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with one another, for they were before at enmity between themselves.
13 And, Pilate, calling together the High-priests, and the Rulers, and the people,
And Pilate having 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 unto them, 'Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against 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 back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;
16 So, then, chastising him, I will release him.
having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'
for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast,
18 But they cried aloud, with the whole throng, saying—Away with this man! and release unto us Barabbas: —
and they cried out — the whole multitude — saying, 'Away with this one, 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 had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison.
20 Again, however, Pilate, called out unto them, wishing to release Jesus.
Pilate again then — wishing to release Jesus — called to them,
21 But, they, called out in return, saying—Crucify! crucify him!
but they were calling out, saying, 'Crucify, 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 a third time said unto them, 'Why, what evil did he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will release [him].'
23 But they became urgent with loud voices, claiming to have him crucified; and their voices began to prevail.
And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,
24 And, Pilate, consented, that their request should be granted;
and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,
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 him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave up 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, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put on him the cross, to bear [it] behind 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 was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting 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.
and Jesus having turned unto them, said, 'Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, 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, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give suck;
30 Then, will they begin to say—unto the mountains, Fall upon us! and unto the hills, Cover us!
then they shall 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 in the green tree they do these things — in the dry what may happen?'
32 And there were being led, two other evil-doers also, to be lifted up.
And there were also others — two evil-doers — 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 came to the place that is called Skull, there they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right hand and one 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.
And Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot.
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 were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, 'Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.'
36 Moreover the soldiers also mocked him, —coming near, offering, vinegar, unto him,
And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him,
37 and saying—If, thou, art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
and saying, 'If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.'
38 Now there was an inscription also, over him—THE KING OF THE JEWS, THIS!
And there was also a superscription written over him, in letters of Greek, and Roman, 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 evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of him, saying, 'If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.'
40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, and said—Neither fearest, thou, God, in that thou art, in the same judgment?
And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, 'Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment?
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 righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;'
42 And he went on to say—Jesus! remember me, whensoever thou shalt come into thy kingdom.
and he said to Jesus, 'Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;'
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, 'Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.'
44 And it was already about the sixth hour, and, darkness, came upon the whole land, until the ninth hour, —
And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till 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 vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst,
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 having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, 'Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;' and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit.
47 And the centurion, beholding that which came to pass, began to glorify God, saying—In very deed, this man, was, righteous.
And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, 'Really this man was righteous;'
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 multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back;
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 acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.
50 And lo! a man, by name Joseph, being, a councillor, —a good and righteous man
And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous,
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,
— he was not consenting to their counsel and deed — from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God,
52 the same, going unto Pilate, claimed the body of Jesus.
he, having gone near to Pilate, asked 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 having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid.
54 And it was a day of preparation, and, a Sabbath, was about to dawn.
And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching,
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 who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed,
56 And, returning, they made ready spices and perfumes. And, on the Sabbath, indeed, they were quiet, according to the commandment;
and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.
