< Luke 23 >
1 And the whole assembly of them arose, and brought him to Pilatos.
And all the multitude of them rising up, lead Him to Pilate.
2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this who deludeth our people, and forbiddeth that tribute unto Caesar we should give, saying of himself that he is the King Meshicha.
And they began to accuse Him, saying, We found Him perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that He is Christ, a King.
3 But Pilatos asked him, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jihudoyee? He saith to him, Thou hast said.
And Pilate asked Him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And responding to him, He said, Thou sayest it.
4 And Pilatos said to the chief priests and to the assembly, I find no occasion against this man.
And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, I find nothing criminal in this man.
5 But they cried out and said, He commoveth our people while he teacheth throughout all Jihud, beginning from Galila unto this place.
And they became stronger and stronger, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee unto this place.
6 Pilatos, however, when he heard the name of Galila, asked if the man were a Galiloya.
And Pilate hearing, asked if He is a Galilean man.
7 And when he knew that he was from the limit of the jurisdiction of Herodes, he sent him unto Herodes, because that in Urishlem he was in those days.
And learning that He is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent Him up to Herod, being himself in Jerusalem in those days.
8 And Herodes, when he saw Jeshu, was very glad; for he had desired to see him of a great time: for he had heard concerning him many things, and hoped that some sign he should see from him.
And Herod seeing Jesus, rejoiced exceedingly: for from a long time, wishing to see Him, because He was hearing about Him; and he was hoping to see some miracle wrought by Him.
9 And many words he asked him; but Jeshu gave him no answer whatever.
And he asked Him with many words; and He responded to him nothing.
10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and strenuously accused him.
But the high priest and scribes stood by, accusing Him vehemently.
11 Then Herodes and his soldiers treated him as a fool; and when he had derided him, he dressed him in a robe of crimson, and sent him to Pilatos.
But Herod along with his soldiers having indeed treated Him with contempt, and mocked Him, putting on Him a scarlet robe, sent Him back to Pilate.
12 And in that day Pilatos and Herodes were friends with each other; for before there had been enmity between them.
And both Herod and Pilate on that day became friends with one another: for they were hitherto in enmity either to other.
13 And Pilatos called the chief priests and the rulers of the people,
Pilate having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 and said to them, You have brought to me this man as a perverter of your people; and, behold, I have examined him in your sight, and have found no cause in this man of all that you accuse him:
said to them, You have brought to me this man, as revolutionizing the people: and behold, I, judging Him before you, found nothing in this man criminal of those things which you accuse against Him.
15 nor also Herodes; for I sent him unto him, and, behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him:
But Herod did not: for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing worthy of death has been done by Him.
16 I will therefore chastise him, and dismiss him.
Therefore having scourged Him, I will release Him.
17 For a custom had he to release to them one at the festival.
18 But all the multitude cried out, saying, Take this, and release to us Baraba;
And they unanimously cried out, saying, Take Him away, and release unto us Barabbas:
19 he who, for insurrection and murder which had been done in the city, had been thrown into the house of the chained.
who had been cast into prison on account of certain sedition made in the city, and murder.
20 But Pilatos spake with them again, being willing to release Jeshu.
Then Pilate again called to them, wishing to release Jesus.
21 But they cried out, saying, Crucify him! Crucify him!
And they continued to shout aloud, saying, Crucify Him, crucify Him.
22 He the third time also said to them, Why, what evil hath this done? Cause whatever that is worthy of death, I find not in him: I will therefore chastise him, and dismiss him.
And he spoke to them the third time, For what evil hath He done? I found nothing in Him worthy of death: therefore having scourged Him, I will release Him.
23 But they were urgent with a high voice, demanding that they might crucify him; and theirs and the voices of the high priests prevailed.
And they continued to lay on with great voices, demanding that He should be crucified: and the voices of them and the high priests continued to grow stronger.
24 And Pilatos commanded that their requirement should be done.
And Pilate decided that their request should be granted.
25 And he released to them him who, for insurrection and murder, had been thrown into the house of the chained, whom they had asked: but Jeshu he delivered to their will.
And released him who on account of sedition and murder had been cast into prison, and delivered up Jesus according to their wish.
26 AND as they led him away, they laid hold on Shemun Kurinoya, who was coming from the country, and they laid on him the cross, that he might bear (it) after Jeshu.
And when they were leading Him away, taking a certain Simon, a Cyrenean, coming from the country, they placed the cross on him, to carry it after Jesus.
27 And there followed him much people, and those women who mourned and wailed for him.
And a great multitude of people followed Him, and of women who were both weeping and bewailing Him.
28 And Jeshu turned to them, and said, Daughters of Urishlem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep, and for your children.
And Jesus turning to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and your children.
29 For, behold, coming are the days in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs which have not borne, and the breasts that have not suckled.
Because behold, the days are coming, in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that did not bring forth, and the breasts that did not nurse.
30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the heights, Cover us!
Then they will begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Hide us.
31 For if to the tree which is good they do these things, unto the dry what shall be?
Because if they do these things in the green tree, what may be done in the dry?
32 And there went with him two others, workers of evil, to be put to death.
And two malefactors were also led away with Him, to be executed.
33 And when they came to a certain place called Karkaphtha, there they crucified him, and those workers of evil, one on his right hand, and one on his left.
And when they came to the place called Calvary. There they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right and one on the left.
34 BUT Jeshu himself said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they divided his garments, and cast for them lots.
And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. And dividing His garments, they were casting the lots.
35 But the people stood beholding, and the rulers also, mocking him, and saying, He saved others, let him save himself, if he be the Meshicha, the Chosen of God.
The people stood looking: and the rulers were even mocking with themselves, saying, He saved others; let Him save Himself, if He is the Christ, the elect of God.
36 And the soldiers also, deriding him, approaching him, and offering to him vinegar,
And the soldiers were also mocking, coming and bringing the vinegar to Him,
37 said to him, If thou art the King of the Jihudoyee, save thyself.
and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
38 And there was also an inscription which was written over him in Greek and Roman and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JIHUDOYEE.
And the superscription was also over Him: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 And one of those workers of evil who were hanged with him, blasphemed against him, saying, If thou art the Meshicha, deliver thyself, and deliver us also.
And one of the malefactors having been hung up, continued to blaspheme Him, saying, If thou art the Christ, save thyself and us.
40 And his companion rebuked him, and said to him, Dost thou not fear (even) Aloha? for thou also art in this judgment.
But the other one responding, rebuked him saying, Do you not fear God, because you are in the same condemnation?
41 And we righteously, forasmuch as we have been deserving, and as we are punished for that which we have done;
and we indeed justly; for we are receiving the deservings of the things we did: but this one has done nothing amiss.
42 but this hath done nothing that is abominable. And he said to Jeshu, Remember me, my Lord, when thou art come into thy kingdom!
And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou mayest come in thy kingdom.
43 Jeshu saith to him, Amen I say to thee, That to-day with me thou shalt be in Paradise.
And Jesus said to him, Truly I say unto thee, This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.
44 NOW it was about six hours, and there was darkness over all the earth until nine hours.
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45 And the sun darkened, and rent was the vail of the temple through the midst of it.
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the middle.
46 And Jeshu cried with a high voice, and said, My Father, in thy hands I place my spirit. This he said, and completed.
And calling with a loud voice, Jesus said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, He expired.
47 But when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified Aloha, saying, Assuredly this was a just man.
And the centurion seeing that which took place, glorified God, saying, Surely this was a righteous man.
48 And all the multitude, they who were assembled to see this, when they saw what was done, returned, smiting upon their breasts.
And all the multitudes being present at that scene, seeing those things which took place, were going away beating their breasts.
49 And there were standing afar off all the acquaintances of Jeshu, and those women who came with him from Galila; and they saw these things.
And all His acquaintances stood a great way off and the women who having followed along with Him from Galilee, seeing these things.
50 BUT a certain man, whose name was Jauseph, a senator from Rometha, a city of Jehud, a man (who) was good and just:
And behold, there was a man by name Joseph, being a councilor, a good and righteous man,
51 (this had not consented to the counsel and deed of them; and he was waiting for the kingdom of Aloha: )
(for he was not consenting unto their counsel and deed), from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God.
52 this approached Pilatos, and begged the body of Jeshu;
He having come to Pilate, begged the body of Jesus.
53 and he took it down, and wrapped it in a cloth of linen, and laid it in a hewn sepulchre, in which no one had hitherto been laid.
And having taken it down, he wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a hewn sepulcher, where no one ever was laid.
54 And it was the day of the preparation; and the shabath had lighted.
And it was Preparation day, and the Sabbath was drawing nigh.
55 And the women also drew near, they who had come with him from Galila; and they saw the sepulchre, and where the body was laid;
And the women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed down, saw the sepulcher, and where His body was placed.
56 and, returned, they prepared balsams and aromatics, and on the shabath rested, as it is commanded.
And having returned, they prepared aromatics and myrrh: and they kept the Sabbath according to the commandment.
