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