< Luke 23 >

1 The whole company of them rose up and brought Jesus before Pilate.
και ανασταν απαν το πληθος αυτων ηγαγεν αυτον επι τον πιλατον
2 They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting our nation, forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
ηρξαντο δε κατηγορειν αυτου λεγοντες τουτον ευρομεν διαστρεφοντα το εθνος και κωλυοντα καισαρι φορους διδοναι λεγοντα εαυτον χριστον βασιλεα ειναι
3 Pilate asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered him and said, “You say so.”
ο δε πιλατος επηρωτησεν αυτον λεγων συ ει ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων ο δε αποκριθεις αυτω εφη συ λεγεις
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no fault in this man.”
ο δε πιλατος ειπεν προς τους αρχιερεις και τους οχλους ουδεν ευρισκω αιτιον εν τω ανθρωπω τουτω
5 But they were insisting, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
οι δε επισχυον λεγοντες οτι ανασειει τον λαον διδασκων καθ ολης της ιουδαιας αρξαμενος απο της γαλιλαιας εως ωδε
6 So when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.
πιλατος δε ακουσας γαλιλαιαν επηρωτησεν ει ο ανθρωπος γαλιλαιος εστιν
7 When he discovered that he was under Herod's authority, he sent Jesus to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.
και επιγνους οτι εκ της εξουσιας ηρωδου εστιν ανεπεμψεν αυτον προς ηρωδην οντα και αυτον εν ιεροσολυμοις εν ταυταις ταις ημεραις
8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, because he had wanted to see him for a long time. He had heard about him and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.
ο δε ηρωδης ιδων τον ιησουν εχαρη λιαν ην γαρ θελων εξ ικανου ιδειν αυτον δια το ακουειν πολλα περι αυτου και ηλπιζεν τι σημειον ιδειν υπ αυτου γινομενον
9 Herod questioned Jesus in many words, but Jesus answered him nothing.
επηρωτα δε αυτον εν λογοις ικανοις αυτος δε ουδεν απεκρινατο αυτω
10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, violently accusing him.
ειστηκεισαν δε οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις ευτονως κατηγορουντες αυτου
11 Herod with his soldiers insulted Jesus and they mocked him. Then they dressed him in elegant clothes and sent him back to Pilate.
εξουθενησας δε αυτον ο ηρωδης συν τοις στρατευμασιν αυτου και εμπαιξας περιβαλων αυτον εσθητα λαμπραν ανεπεμψεν αυτον τω πιλατω
12 For Herod and Pilate had become friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been enemies with each other.
εγενοντο δε φιλοι ο τε πιλατος και ο ηρωδης εν αυτη τη ημερα μετ αλληλων προυπηρχον γαρ εν εχθρα οντες προς εαυτους
13 Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the crowd of people,
πιλατος δε συγκαλεσαμενος τους αρχιερεις και τους αρχοντας και τον λαον
14 and said to them, “You brought to me this man like a man who is leading the people to act badly, and see, I, having questioned him before you, find no fault in this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
ειπεν προς αυτους προσηνεγκατε μοι τον ανθρωπον τουτον ως αποστρεφοντα τον λαον και ιδου εγω ενωπιον υμων ανακρινας ουδεν ευρον εν τω ανθρωπω τουτω αιτιον ων κατηγορειτε κατ αυτου
15 No, nor does Herod, for he sent him back to us, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
αλλ ουδε ηρωδης ανεπεμψα γαρ υμας προς αυτον και ιδου ουδεν αξιον θανατου εστιν πεπραγμενον αυτω
16 I will therefore punish him, and release him.”
παιδευσας ουν αυτον απολυσω
αναγκην δε ειχεν απολυειν αυτοις κατα εορτην ενα
18 But they cried out all together, saying, “Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas!”
ανεκραξαν δε παμπληθει λεγοντες αιρε τουτον απολυσον δε ημιν τον βαραββαν
19 Barabbas was a man who had been put into prison for a certain rebellion in the city and for murder.
οστις ην δια στασιν τινα γενομενην εν τη πολει και φονον βεβλημενος εις φυλακην
20 Pilate addressed them again, desiring to release Jesus.
παλιν ουν ο πιλατος προσεφωνησεν θελων απολυσαι τον ιησουν
21 But they shouted, saying, “Crucify him, crucify him.”
οι δε επεφωνουν λεγοντες σταυρωσον σταυρωσον αυτον
22 He said to them a third time, “Why, what evil has this man done? I have found nothing deserving the death penalty in him. Therefore after punishing him, I will release him.”
ο δε τριτον ειπεν προς αυτους τι γαρ κακον εποιησεν ουτος ουδεν αιτιον θανατου ευρον εν αυτω παιδευσας ουν αυτον απολυσω
23 But they were insistent with loud voices, demanding for him to be crucified. Their voices convinced Pilate.
οι δε επεκειντο φωναις μεγαλαις αιτουμενοι αυτον σταυρωθηναι και κατισχυον αι φωναι αυτων και των αρχιερεων
24 So Pilate decided to grant their demand.
ο δε πιλατος επεκρινεν γενεσθαι το αιτημα αυτων
25 He released the one they asked for who had been put in prison for rioting and murder. But he delivered up Jesus to their will.
απελυσεν δε αυτοις τον δια στασιν και φονον βεβλημενον εις την φυλακην ον ητουντο τον δε ιησουν παρεδωκεν τω θεληματι αυτων
26 As they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and they laid the cross on him to carry, following Jesus.
και ως απηγαγον αυτον επιλαβομενοι σιμωνος τινος κυρηναιου του ερχομενου απ αγρου επεθηκαν αυτω τον σταυρον φερειν οπισθεν του ιησου
27 A great crowd of the people, and of women who grieved and mourned for him, were following him.
ηκολουθει δε αυτω πολυ πληθος του λαου και γυναικων αι και εκοπτοντο και εθρηνουν αυτον
28 But turning to them, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
στραφεις δε προς αυτας ο ιησους ειπεν θυγατερες ιερουσαλημ μη κλαιετε επ εμε πλην εφ εαυτας κλαιετε και επι τα τεκνα υμων
29 For see, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren and the wombs that did not bear, and the breasts that did not nurse.'
οτι ιδου ερχονται ημεραι εν αις ερουσιν μακαριαι αι στειραι και κοιλιαι αι ουκ εγεννησαν και μαστοι οι ουκ εθηλασαν
30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us,' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'
τοτε αρξονται λεγειν τοις ορεσιν πεσετε εφ ημας και τοις βουνοις καλυψατε ημας
31 For if they do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
οτι ει εν τω υγρω ξυλω ταυτα ποιουσιν εν τω ξηρω τι γενηται
32 Other men, two criminals, were led away with him to be put to death.
ηγοντο δε και ετεροι δυο κακουργοι συν αυτω αναιρεθηναι
33 When they came to the place that is called “The Skull,” there they crucified him, and the criminals—one on his right and one on his left.
και οτε απηλθον επι τον τοπον τον καλουμενον κρανιον εκει εσταυρωσαν αυτον και τους κακουργους ον μεν εκ δεξιων ον δε εξ αριστερων
34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Then they cast lots, dividing up his garments.
ο δε ιησους ελεγεν πατερ αφες αυτοις ου γαρ οιδασιν τι ποιουσιν διαμεριζομενοι δε τα ιματια αυτου εβαλον κληρον
35 The people stood watching while the rulers also were mocking him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, the chosen one.”
και ειστηκει ο λαος θεωρων εξεμυκτηριζον δε και οι αρχοντες συν αυτοις λεγοντες αλλους εσωσεν σωσατω εαυτον ει ουτος εστιν ο χριστος ο του θεου εκλεκτος
36 The soldiers also ridiculed him, approaching him, offering him vinegar,
ενεπαιζον δε αυτω και οι στρατιωται προσερχομενοι και οξος προσφεροντες αυτω
37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself.”
και λεγοντες ει συ ει ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων σωσον σεαυτον
38 There was also a sign over him, “This is the King of the Jews.”
ην δε και επιγραφη γεγραμμενη επ αυτω γραμμασιν ελληνικοις και ρωμαικοις και εβραικοις ουτος εστιν ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων
39 One of the criminals who was hanging there insulted him by saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us.”
εις δε των κρεμασθεντων κακουργων εβλασφημει αυτον λεγων ει συ ει ο χριστος σωσον σεαυτον και ημας
40 But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence?
αποκριθεις δε ο ετερος επετιμα αυτω λεγων ουδε φοβη συ τον θεον οτι εν τω αυτω κριματι ει
41 We indeed are here justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds. But this man did nothing wrong.”
και ημεις μεν δικαιως αξια γαρ ων επραξαμεν απολαμβανομεν ουτος δε ουδεν ατοπον επραξεν
42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
και ελεγεν τω ιησου μνησθητι μου κυριε οταν ελθης εν τη βασιλεια σου
43 Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
και ειπεν αυτω ο ιησους αμην λεγω σοι σημερον μετ εμου εση εν τω παραδεισω
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour
ην δε ωσει ωρα εκτη και σκοτος εγενετο εφ ολην την γην εως ωρας εννατης
45 as the sun's light failed. Then the curtain of the temple was split in two.
και εσκοτισθη ο ηλιος και εσχισθη το καταπετασμα του ναου μεσον
46 Crying with a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” Having said this, he died.
και φωνησας φωνη μεγαλη ο ιησους ειπεν πατερ εις χειρας σου παραθησομαι το πνευμα μου και ταυτα ειπων εξεπνευσεν
47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”
ιδων δε ο εκατονταρχος το γενομενον εδοξασεν τον θεον λεγων οντως ο ανθρωπος ουτος δικαιος ην
48 When all the multitudes who came together to witness this sight saw the things that were done, they returned beating their breasts.
και παντες οι συμπαραγενομενοι οχλοι επι την θεωριαν ταυτην θεωρουντες τα γενομενα τυπτοντες εαυτων τα στηθη υπεστρεφον
49 But all those who knew him, and the women who followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
ειστηκεισαν δε παντες οι γνωστοι αυτου μακροθεν και γυναικες αι συνακολουθησασαι αυτω απο της γαλιλαιας ορωσαι ταυτα
50 Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the Council. He was a good and righteous man.
και ιδου ανηρ ονοματι ιωσηφ βουλευτης υπαρχων ανηρ αγαθος και δικαιος
51 This man had not agreed with the decision of the Council and their action. He was from the Judean town of Arimathea; and he was looking for the kingdom of God.
ουτος ουκ ην συγκατατεθειμενος τη βουλη και τη πραξει αυτων απο αριμαθαιας πολεως των ιουδαιων ος και προσεδεχετο και αυτος την βασιλειαν του θεου
52 This man, approaching Pilate, asked for the body of Jesus.
ουτος προσελθων τω πιλατω ητησατο το σωμα του ιησου
53 He took it down, wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
και καθελων αυτο ενετυλιξεν αυτο σινδονι και εθηκεν αυτο εν μνηματι λαξευτω ου ουκ ην ουδεπω ουδεις κειμενος
54 It was the Day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was about to begin.
και ημερα ην παρασκευη και σαββατον επεφωσκεν
55 The women who had come with Jesus out of Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
κατακολουθησασαι δε και γυναικες αιτινες ησαν συνεληλυθυιαι αυτω εκ της γαλιλαιας εθεασαντο το μνημειον και ως ετεθη το σωμα αυτου
56 They returned, and prepared spices and ointments. Then on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
υποστρεψασαι δε ητοιμασαν αρωματα και μυρα και το μεν σαββατον ησυχασαν κατα την εντολην
