Luke 23
1 Then the whole assembly rose and brought Him to Pilate, and began to accuse Him.
και ανασταν απαν το πληθος αυτων ηγαγεν αυτον επι τον πιλατον
2 "We have found this man," they said, "an agitator among our nation, forbidding the payment of tribute to Caesar, and claiming to be himself an anointed king."
ηρξαντο δε κατηγορειν αυτου λεγοντες τουτον ευρομεν διαστρεφοντα το εθνος και κωλυοντα καισαρι φορους διδοναι λεγοντα εαυτον χριστον βασιλεα ειναι
3 Then Pilate asked Him, "You, then, are the King of the Jews?" "It is as you say," He replied.
ο δε πιλατος επηρωτησεν αυτον λεγων συ ει ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων ο δε αποκριθεις αυτω εφη συ λεγεις
4 Pilate said to the High Priests and to the crowd, "I can find no crime in this man."
ο δε πιλατος ειπεν προς τους αρχιερεις και τους οχλους ουδεν ευρισκω αιτιον εν τω ανθρωπω τουτω
5 But they violently insisted. "He stirs up the people," they said, "throughout all Judaea with His teaching--even from Galilee (where He first started) to this city."
οι δε επισχυον λεγοντες οτι ανασειει τον λαον διδασκων καθ ολης της ιουδαιας αρξαμενος απο της γαλιλαιας εως ωδε
6 On hearing this, Pilate inquired, "Is this man a Galilaean?"
πιλατος δε ακουσας γαλιλαιαν επηρωτησεν ει ο ανθρωπος γαλιλαιος εστιν
7 And learning that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction he sent Him to Herod, for he too was in Jerusalem at that time.
και επιγνους οτι εκ της εξουσιας ηρωδου εστιν ανεπεμψεν αυτον προς ηρωδην οντα και αυτον εν ιεροσολυμοις εν ταυταις ταις ημεραις
8 To Herod the sight of Jesus was a great gratification, for, for a long time, he had been wanting to see Him, because he had heard so much about Him. He hoped also to see some miracle performed 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 So he put a number of questions to Him, but Jesus gave him no reply.
επηρωτα δε αυτον εν λογοις ικανοις αυτος δε ουδεν απεκρινατο αυτω
10 Meanwhile the High Priests and the Scribes were standing there and vehemently accusing Him.
ειστηκεισαν δε οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις ευτονως κατηγορουντες αυτου
11 Then, laughing to scorn the claims of Jesus, Herod (and his soldiers with him) made sport of Him, dressed Him in a gorgeous costume, 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 And on that very day Herod and Pilate became friends again, for they had been for some time at enmity.
εγενοντο δε φιλοι ο τε πιλατος και ο ηρωδης εν αυτη τη ημερα μετ αλληλων προυπηρχον γαρ εν εχθρα οντες προς εαυτους
13 Then calling together the High Priests and the Rulers and the people, Pilate said,
πιλατος δε συγκαλεσαμενος τους αρχιερεις και τους αρχοντας και τον λαον
14 "You have brought this man to me on a charge of corrupting the loyalty of the people. But, you see, I have examined him in your presence and have discovered in the man no ground for the accusations which you bring against 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 has sent him back to us; and, you see, there is nothing he has done that deserves death.
αλλ ουδε ηρωδης ανεπεμψα γαρ υμας προς αυτον και ιδου ουδεν αξιον θανατου εστιν πεπραγμενον αυτω
16 I will therefore give him a light punishment and release him."
παιδευσας ουν αυτον απολυσω
αναγκην δε ειχεν απολυειν αυτοις κατα εορτην ενα
18 Then the whole multitude burst out into a shout. "Away with this man," they said, "and release Barabbas to us"
ανεκραξαν δε παμπληθει λεγοντες αιρε τουτον απολυσον δε ημιν τον βαραββαν
19 --Barabbas! who had been lodged in jail for some time in connexion with a riot which had occurred in the city, and for murder.
οστις ην δια στασιν τινα γενομενην εν τη πολει και φονον βεβλημενος εις φυλακην
20 But Pilate once more addressed them, wishing to set Jesus free.
παλιν ουν ο πιλατος προσεφωνησεν θελων απολυσαι τον ιησουν
21 They, however, persistently shouted, "Crucify, crucify him!"
οι δε επεφωνουν λεγοντες σταυρωσον σταυρωσον αυτον
22 A third time he appealed to them: "Why, what crime has the man committed? I have discovered in him nothing that deserves death. I will therefore give him a light punishment and 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 urgently insisted, demanding with frantic outcries that He should be crucified; and their clamour prevailed.
οι δε επεκειντο φωναις μεγαλαις αιτουμενοι αυτον σταυρωθηναι και κατισχυον αι φωναι αυτων και των αρχιερεων
24 So Pilate gave judgement, yielding to their demand.
ο δε πιλατος επεκρινεν γενεσθαι το αιτημα αυτων
25 The man who was lying in prison charged with riot and murder and for whom they clamoured he set free, but Jesus he gave up to be dealt with as they desired.
απελυσεν δε αυτοις τον δια στασιν και φονον βεβλημενον εις την φυλακην ον ητουντο τον δε ιησουν παρεδωκεν τω θεληματι αυτων
26 As soon as they led Him away, they laid hold on one Simon, a Cyrenaean, who was coming in from the country, and on his shoulders they put the cross, for him to carry it behind Jesus.
και ως απηγαγον αυτον επιλαβομενοι σιμωνος τινος κυρηναιου του ερχομενου απ αγρου επεθηκαν αυτω τον σταυρον φερειν οπισθεν του ιησου
27 A vast crowd of the people also followed Him, and of women who were beating their breasts and wailing for Him.
ηκολουθει δε αυτω πολυ πληθος του λαου και γυναικων αι και εκοπτοντο και εθρηνουν αυτον
28 But Jesus turned towards them and said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not 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 a time is coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the women who never bore children, and the breasts which have never given nourishment.'
οτι ιδου ερχονται ημεραι εν αις ερουσιν μακαριαι αι στειραι και κοιλιαι αι ουκ εγεννησαν και μαστοι οι ουκ εθηλασαν
30 Then will they 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 are doing these things in the case of the green tree, what will be done in that of the dry?"
οτι ει εν τω υγρω ξυλω ταυτα ποιουσιν εν τω ξηρω τι γενηται
32 They brought also two others, criminals, to put them to death with Him.
ηγοντο δε και ετεροι δυο κακουργοι συν αυτω αναιρεθηναι
33 When they reached the place called 'The Skull,' there they nailed Him to the cross, and the criminals also, one at His right hand and one at 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 prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing." And they divided His garments among them, drawing lots for them;
ο δε ιησους ελεγεν πατερ αφες αυτοις ου γαρ οιδασιν τι ποιουσιν διαμεριζομενοι δε τα ιματια αυτου εβαλον κληρον
35 and the people stood looking on. The Rulers, too, repeatedly uttered their bitter taunts. "This fellow," they said, "saved others: let him save himself, if he is God's Anointed, 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 And the soldiers also made sport of Him, coming and offering Him sour wine and saying,
ενεπαιζον δε αυτω και οι στρατιωται προσερχομενοι και οξος προσφεροντες αυτω
37 "Are you the King of the Jews? Save yourself, then!"
και λεγοντες ει συ ει ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων σωσον σεαυτον
38 There was moreover a writing over His head: 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 Now one of the criminals who had been crucified insulted Him, saying, "Are not you 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, answering, reproved him. "Do you also not fear God," he said, "when you are actually suffering the same punishment?
αποκριθεις δε ο ετερος επετιμα αυτω λεγων ουδε φοβη συ τον θεον οτι εν τω αυτω κριματι ει
41 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving due requital for what we have done. But He has done nothing amiss."
και ημεις μεν δικαιως αξια γαρ ων επραξαμεν απολαμβανομεν ουτος δε ουδεν ατοπον επραξεν
42 And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come in your Kingdom."
και ελεγεν τω ιησου μνησθητι μου κυριε οταν ελθης εν τη βασιλεια σου
43 "I tell you in solemn truth," replied Jesus, "that this very day you shall 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 noon, and a darkness came over the whole country till three o'clock in the afternoon.
ην δε ωσει ωρα εκτη και σκοτος εγενετο εφ ολην την γην εως ωρας εννατης
45 The sun was darkened, and the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn down the middle,
και εσκοτισθη ο ηλιος και εσχισθη το καταπετασμα του ναου μεσον
46 and Jesus cried out in a loud voice, and said, "Father, to Thy hands I entrust my spirit." And after uttering these words He yielded up His spirit.
και φωνησας φωνη μεγαλη ο ιησους ειπεν πατερ εις χειρας σου παραθησομαι το πνευμα μου και ταυτα ειπων εξεπνευσεν
47 The Captain, seeing what had happened, gave glory to God, saying, "Beyond question this man was innocent."
ιδων δε ο εκατονταρχος το γενομενον εδοξασεν τον θεον λεγων οντως ο ανθρωπος ουτος δικαιος ην
48 And all the crowds that had come together to this sight, after seeing all that had occurred, returned to the city beating their breasts.
και παντες οι συμπαραγενομενοι οχλοι επι την θεωριαν ταυτην θεωρουντες τα γενομενα τυπτοντες εαυτων τα στηθη υπεστρεφον
49 But all His acquaintances, and the women who had been His followers after leaving Galilee, continued standing at a distance and looking on.
ειστηκεισαν δε παντες οι γνωστοι αυτου μακροθεν και γυναικες αι συνακολουθησασαι αυτω απο της γαλιλαιας ορωσαι ταυτα
50 There was a member of the Council of the name of Joseph, a kind-hearted and upright man,
και ιδου ανηρ ονοματι ιωσηφ βουλευτης υπαρχων ανηρ αγαθος και δικαιος
51 who came from the Jewish town of Arimathaea and was awaiting the coming of the Kingdom of God. He had not concurred in the design or action of the Council,
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 and now he went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
ουτος προσελθων τω πιλατω ητησατο το σωμα του ιησου
53 Then, taking it down, he wrapped it in a linen sheet and laid it in a tomb in the rock, where no one else had yet been put.
και καθελων αυτο ενετυλιξεν αυτο σινδονι και εθηκεν αυτο εν μνηματι λαξευτω ου ουκ ην ουδεπω ουδεις κειμενος
54 It was the Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was near at hand.
και ημερα ην παρασκευη και σαββατον επεφωσκεν
55 The women--those who had come with Jesus from Galilee--followed close behind, and saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
κατακολουθησασαι δε και γυναικες αιτινες ησαν συνεληλυθυιαι αυτω εκ της γαλιλαιας εθεασαντο το μνημειον και ως ετεθη το σωμα αυτου
56 Then they returned, and prepared spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested in obedience to the Commandment.
υποστρεψασαι δε ητοιμασαν αρωματα και μυρα και το μεν σαββατον ησυχασαν κατα την εντολην
