Luke 23
1 And the whole company of them arose, and carried him before Pilate.
AND the whole multitude of them rising up, led him to Pilate,
2 And they began to accuse him, and said: We have found this man seducing our people, and forbidding to pay the capitation money to Caesar, and declaring himself to be king Messiah.
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.
3 And Pilate interrogated him, and said to him: Art thou king of the Jews? He said to him: Thou hast said.
Then Pilate interrogated him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said to him, Thou sayest so.
4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and the company: I find no crime upon this man.
Then said Pilate unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find nothing culpable in this man.
5 And they vociferated, and said: He raiseth disturbance among our people, by teaching in all Judaea, commencing from Galilee, and quite to this place.
But they were urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching through all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.
6 And Pilate, when he heard the name Galilee, inquired if the man were a Galilean.
When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean?
7 And having learned that he was from under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod; for he was at Jerusalem on those days.
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.
8 And Herod rejoiced greatly when he saw Jesus, for he had been desirous to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things of him, and he hoped to see some sign from him.
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.
9 And he asked him many questions; but Jesus gave him no reply.
And he put a variety of questions to him; but he made him no reply.
10 And the chief priests and Scribes stood up, and accused him vehemently.
And the chief priests and the scribes stood up vehemently accusing him.
11 And Herod and his warriors contemned him. And when he had mocked him, he clothed him in a purple robe, and sent him to Pilate.
Then Herod with his guards treated him with contempt, and in derision clothed him in a splendid robe, and sent him back to Pilate.
12 And on that day, Pilate and Herod became friends to each other; for there had previously been enmity between them.
And Pilate and Herod the same day became friends together: for they had previously been at enmity with each other.
13 And Pilate called the chief priests and the rulers of the people,
Then Pilate, convoking the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 and said to them: Ye have brought this man before me, as a disturber of your people; and lo, I have examined him before you, and I find in the man no crime, among all that ye charge upon him.
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:
15 Neither yet Herod: for I sent him to him, and lo, nothing deserving death hath been done by him.
nor Herod neither: for I referred you to him; and, lo, nothing is done to this man, as if he deserved death.
16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
I will therefore, after scourging, discharge him.
17 For it was a custom, that he should release one at the festival.
(Now he held it necessary to release one to them at the feast.)
18 And all the company vociferated, and said: Away with this man; and release to us Barabbas.
Then the whole multitude set up a cry, saying, Away with this fellow, and release unto us Barabbas!
19 He was one who had been thrown into prison, on account of a sedition and murder which had occurred in the city.
(who for a certain sedition raised in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison.)
20 And Pilate, being disposed to release Jesus, conversed with them again.
Again therefore Pilate called out to them, desirous to see Jesus at liberty.
21 But they cried out, and said: Crucify him; crucify him.
But they clamoured the more, saying, Crucify, crucify him.
22 And he said to them the third time: But, what evil hath he done? I find no crime in him deserving of death. I will scourge him, therefore, and release him.
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.
23 But they were urgent, with a loud voice; and demanded of him, that they might crucify him.
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.
24 And Pilate decreed, that their request be granted.
Then Pilate decreed that their petition should be granted.
25 And he released to them him, who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, for whom they petitioned; and he delivered up Jesus to their pleasure.
Then released he to them him who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison; but he gave up Jesus to their will.
26 And as they led him away, they seized Simon the Cyrenian, coming from the fields. and laid upon him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.
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.
27 And there followed after him a great multitude of people; and those women also who wailed and lamented over him.
And a great multitude of the people and of women followed him, who also beat their breasts and lamented him bitterly.
28 And Jesus turned to them, and said to them: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me; but weep rather for yourselves, and for your children.
But Jesus turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves, and for your children.
29 For lo, the days are coming, in which they will say: Happy the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.
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.
30 Then will they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us! and to the hills, Cover us!
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the hills, Cover us!
31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what will be in the dry?
For if they do all these things with the green wood, what will be done with the dry?
32 And there went along with him two others, malefactors, to be crucified.
Now there were two other persons, malefactors, led out with him to be executed.
33 And when they came to a certain place which is called a Skull, they crucified him there; and the two malefactors, the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
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.
34 And Jesus said: Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they divided his garments, casting a lot upon them.
And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. Then dividing his garments, they cast the lot.
35 And the people stood and looked on; and the rulers also derided him, and said: He quickened others; let him quicken himself, if he is the Messiah, the chosen of God.
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.
36 And the soldiers like wise mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
And the soldiers also insulted him, coming and offering him vinegar,
37 and saying to him: If thou art the king of the Jews, quicken thyself.
and saying, if thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
38 And there was likewise a superscription over him, written in Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
And there was an inscription written over him in Greek, Roman, and Hebrew characters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 And one of the malefactors who were crucified with him, reproached him, and said: If thou art the Messiah, rescue thyself, and rescue us.
Then one of the suspended malefactors blasphemed him, saying, If thou art the Messiah, save thyself and us.
40 But his fellow Malefactor rebuked him, said to him: Art thou not afraid even of God, seeing thou art under the same sentence?
But the other addressing him, rebuked him, saying, Hast thou no fear of God, when thou art under the same condemnation?
41 And we justly; for we have a retribution according to our deserts, and according to our deeds; but nothing hateful hath been done by him.
And we indeed justly, for we receive deserved punishment for the crimes we have committed: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 And he said to Jesus: My Lord, remember me, when thou comest into thy kingdom.
And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou comest in thy kingdom.
43 Jesus said to him: Verily I say to you, That this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.
And Jesus said to him. Verily I say unto thee, To-day thou shalt be with me in paradise.
44 And it was about the sixth hour; and darkness was over all the land, until the ninth hour.

47 And when the centurion saw what occurred, he glorified God and said: Certainly, this was a righteous man.
And the centurion observing what had come to pass, glorified God, saying, Verily this man was a righteous person.
48 And all the multitudes who had assembled at this spectacle, on seeing what occurred, returned, smiting upon their breasts.
And all the multitudes who had come together for this spectacle, when they saw the things which were done, beating their breasts, returned.
49 And there were standing at a distance, all they that knew Jesus, and those women who came with him from Galilee; and they beheld these things.
And all his acquaintance stood afar off, and the women which followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.
50 And there was a certain man, whose name was Joseph, a counsellor, from Ramath a city of Judaea, who was a good man and righteous;
And lo! a man named Joseph, being a member of the council, a good man, and a just;
51 and he had not consented to their decision and deed; and he was waiting for the kingdom of God.
(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.
52 This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
He went in to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in a winding-sheet of linen; and laid it in an excavated sepulchre, in which no one had hitherto been laid.
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.
54 And it was the day of preparation, and the sabbath began to dawn.
And that was the preparation-day, and the sabbath’s twilight was approaching.
55 And those women who came with him from Galilee, approached, and viewed the sepulchre, and the manner in which the body was deposited.
Then the women also, his attendants, who had followed him out of Galilee, observed the sepulchre, and how his corpse was laid out.
56 And they returned, and prepared perfumes and aromatics; and they rested on the sabbath, as it is commanded.
And returning, they made preparation of aromatics and unguents; and they rested the sabbath-day, according to the commandment.
