Κατα Λουκαν 23
1 και ανασταν απαν το πληθος αυτων ηγαγον αυτον επι τον πιλατον
Then the whole company rose up and brought him to Pilate,
2 ηρξαντο δε κατηγορειν αυτου λεγοντες τουτον ευραμεν διαστρεφοντα το εθνος ημων και κωλυοντα φορους καισαρι διδοναι και λεγοντα εαυτον χριστον βασιλεα ειναι
and began to accuse him. "We have found this fellow perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and proclaiming that he is the Messiah and King."
3 ο δε πιλατος ηρωτησεν αυτον λεγων συ ει ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων ο δε αποκριθεις αυτω εφη συ λεγεις
Then Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him saying, "Certainly I am."
4 ο δε πιλατος ειπεν προς τους αρχιερεις και τους οχλους ουδεν ευρισκω αιτιον εν τω ανθρωπω τουτω
And Pilate said to the chief priest and the crowd, "I find no harm in this man."
5 οι δε επισχυον λεγοντες οτι ανασειει τον λαον διδασκων καθ ολης της ιουδαιας και αρξαμενος απο της γαλιλαιας εως ωδε
But they repeatedly insisted, "He is stirring up the people throughout all Judea with his teaching which started from Galilee."
6 πιλατος δε ακουσας επηρωτησεν ει {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ανθρωπος γαλιλαιος εστιν
When Pilate heard the word "Galilee" he asked if the man were a Galilean,
7 και επιγνους οτι εκ της εξουσιας ηρωδου εστιν ανεπεμψεν αυτον προς ηρωδην οντα και αυτον εν ιεροσολυμοις εν ταυταις ταις ημεραις
and when he learned that he belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction he sent him to Herod, who himself happened to be in Jerusalem during those days.
8 ο δε ηρωδης ιδων τον ιησουν εχαρη λιαν ην γαρ εξ ικανων χρονων θελων ιδειν αυτον δια το ακουειν περι αυτου και ηλπιζεν τι σημειον ιδειν υπ αυτου γινομενον
Now when Herod saw Jesus he was exceedingly glad. He had long been wanting to see him, because he had heard so much about him, and was hoping to see some miracles performed by him.
9 επηρωτα δε αυτον εν λογοις ικανοις αυτος δε ουδεν απεκρινατο αυτω
So he had been asking him many questions, but Jesus made no answers.
10 ειστηκεισαν δε οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις ευτονως κατηγορουντες αυτου
Meanwhile the high priests and Scribes were standing around, and continually making accusations to him against him.
11 εξουθενησας δε αυτον {VAR2: [και] } ο ηρωδης συν τοις στρατευμασιν αυτου και εμπαιξας περιβαλων εσθητα λαμπραν ανεπεμψεν αυτον τω πιλατω
Then Herod and his soldiers set him at naught, and mocked him, and throwing about him a gorgeous robe, sent him back to Pilate.
12 εγενοντο δε φιλοι ο τε ηρωδης και ο πιλατος εν αυτη τη ημερα μετ αλληλων προυπηρχον γαρ εν εχθρα οντες προς αυτους
Herod and Pilate became friends again from that very day; for before they had been at enmity between themselves.
13 πιλατος δε συγκαλεσαμενος τους αρχιερεις και τους αρχοντας και τον λαον
So Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 ειπεν προς αυτους προσηνεγκατε μοι τον ανθρωπον τουτον ως αποστρεφοντα τον λαον και ιδου εγω ενωπιον υμων ανακρινας ουθεν ευρον εν τω ανθρωπω τουτω αιτιον ων κατηγορειτε κατ αυτου
and said to them. "You brought before me this man as one who incited the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence, and I find no fault in this man regarding the charges that you brought against him.
15 αλλ ουδε ηρωδης ανεπεμψεν γαρ αυτον προς ημας και ιδου ουδεν αξιον θανατου εστιν πεπραγμενον αυτω
Neither does Herod; for he sent him back to us. You see that he has done nothing worthy of death.
16 παιδευσας ουν αυτον απολυσω
I will therefore, after flogging him, release him."
"Now he had to release to them at the feast one prisoner."
18 ανεκραγον δε παμπληθει λεγοντες αιρε τουτον απολυσον δε ημιν τον βαραββαν
Then the whole crowd shouted out, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas."
19 οστις ην δια στασιν τινα γενομενην εν τη πολει και φονον βληθεις εν τη φυλακη
(This was a man who had been thrown in prison on account of a riot which had occurred in the city, and for murder.)
20 παλιν δε ο πιλατος προσεφωνησεν αυτοις θελων απολυσαι τον ιησουν
Then Pilate spoke to them again, because he wished to release Jesus;
21 οι δε επεφωνουν λεγοντες σταυρου σταυρου αυτον
but they continued to shout out and say, "Crucify! Crucify him!"
22 ο δε τριτον ειπεν προς αυτους τι γαρ κακον εποιησεν ουτος ουδεν αιτιον θανατου ευρον εν αυτω παιδευσας ουν αυτον απολυσω
For the third time he appealed to them. "But what crime has he committed? I have found in him nothing that deserves death. I will therefore flog him, and let him go."
23 οι δε επεκειντο φωναις μεγαλαις αιτουμενοι αυτον σταυρωθηναι και κατισχυον αι φωναι αυτων
But they kept shouting the more insistently, demanding that he should be crucified, and their shouts won the day.
24 και πιλατος επεκρινεν γενεσθαι το αιτημα αυτων
So Pilate gave sentence what they wished should be done.
25 απελυσεν δε τον δια στασιν και φονον βεβλημενον εις φυλακην ον ητουντο τον δε ιησουν παρεδωκεν τω θεληματι αυτων
He released the man who had been put in prison for riot and murder, the man whom they asked for; but Jesus he handed over to their will.
26 και ως απηγαγον αυτον επιλαβομενοι σιμωνα τινα κυρηναιον ερχομενον απ αγρου επεθηκαν αυτω τον σταυρον φερειν οπισθεν του ιησου
And when they led him away they took hold of Simon, a Cyrenean, who was coming in from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it behind Jesus.
27 ηκολουθει δε αυτω πολυ πληθος του λαου και γυναικων αι εκοπτοντο και εθρηνουν αυτον
He was also followed by a great crowd of people, and of women too, who were beating their breast and lamenting him.
28 στραφεις δε προς αυτας {VAR2: [ο] } ιησους ειπεν θυγατερες ιερουσαλημ μη κλαιετε επ εμε πλην εφ εαυτας κλαιετε και επι τα τεκνα υμων
But Jesus turned to and said. "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me;
29 οτι ιδου ερχονται ημεραι εν αις ερουσιν μακαριαι αι στειραι και αι κοιλιαι αι ουκ εγεννησαν και μαστοι οι ουκ εθρεψαν
"but weep for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming when they shall say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have never bore children, and the breasts that never suckled.’
30 τοτε αρξονται λεγειν τοις ορεσιν πεσετε εφ ημας και τοις βουνοις καλυψατε ημας
"Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
31 οτι ει εν {VAR2: τω } υγρω ξυλω ταυτα ποιουσιν εν τω ξηρω τι γενηται
"For if this is what they do in the green tree, what will they do in the dry?"
32 ηγοντο δε και ετεροι κακουργοι δυο συν αυτω αναιρεθηναι
And there were led out with him to be executed, two criminals also.
33 και οτε ηλθον επι τον τοπον τον καλουμενον κρανιον εκει εσταυρωσαν αυτον και τους κακουργους ον μεν εκ δεξιων ον δε εξ αριστερων
When they came to the place called "The Skull," there they crucified him and the criminals also, one upon his right hand, and one upon his left.
34 [[ο δε ιησους ελεγεν πατερ αφες αυτοις ου γαρ οιδασιν τι ποιουσιν]] διαμεριζομενοι δε τα ιματια αυτου εβαλον {VAR1: κληρον } {VAR2: κληρους }
Jesus kept saying, "Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided his garments among them, casting lots for them,
35 και ειστηκει ο λαος θεωρων εξεμυκτηριζον δε και οι αρχοντες λεγοντες αλλους εσωσεν σωσατω εαυτον ει ουτος εστιν ο χριστος του θεου ο εκλεκτος
and the people stood looking on. Even the rulers repeatedly taunted him, saying, "He saved others, let him save himself, if this fellow is indeed the Christ of God, His Chosen One!"
36 ενεπαιξαν δε αυτω και οι στρατιωται προσερχομενοι οξος προσφεροντες αυτω
Even the soldiers made sport of him by coming up and offering him sour wine,
37 και λεγοντες ει συ ει ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων σωσον σεαυτον
saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself."
38 ην δε και επιγραφη επ αυτω ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων ουτος
For there was an inscription over his head, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 εις δε των κρεμασθεντων κακουργων εβλασφημει αυτον {VAR2: λεγων } ουχι συ ει ο χριστος σωσον σεαυτον και ημας
And one of the criminals who had been hung there kept reviling him, saying. "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us."
40 αποκριθεις δε ο ετερος επιτιμων αυτω εφη ουδε φοβη συ τον θεον οτι εν τω αυτω κριματι ει
But the other, answering, reproved him, saying. "Have you no fear of God even? When you are suffering the same punishment as he?
41 και ημεις μεν δικαιως αξια γαρ ων επραξαμεν απολαμβανομεν ουτος δε ουδεν ατοπον επραξεν
"We indeed justly, for we are receiving due retribution for what we have done. But he has done no wrong."
42 και ελεγεν ιησου μνησθητι μου οταν ελθης εις την βασιλειαν σου
Then he added, "Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingdom."
43 και ειπεν αυτω αμην σοι λεγω σημερον μετ εμου εση εν τω παραδεισω
"In solemn truth I tell you," said Jesus, "that this day you shall be with me in Paradise."
44 και ην ηδη ωσει ωρα εκτη και σκοτος εγενετο εφ ολην την γην εως ωρας ενατης
It was now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
45 του ηλιου {VAR1: εκλειποντος } {VAR2: εκλιποντος } εσχισθη δε το καταπετασμα του ναου μεσον
And the sun was darkened, and the curtain of the sanctuary was torn in two in the Temple.
46 και φωνησας φωνη μεγαλη ο ιησους ειπεν πατερ εις χειρας σου παρατιθεμαι το πνευμα μου τουτο δε ειπων εξεπνευσεν
Then with a loud cry, Jesus said, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit!" And after uttering these words, he yielded up his spirit.
47 ιδων δε ο εκατονταρχης το γενομενον εδοξαζεν τον θεον λεγων οντως ο ανθρωπος ουτος δικαιος ην
When the army captain saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, "This man was really innocent!"
48 και παντες οι συμπαραγενομενοι οχλοι επι την θεωριαν ταυτην θεωρησαντες τα γενομενα τυπτοντες τα στηθη υπεστρεφον
And all the crowds who had assembled to see this spectacle, after witnessing what had been done, were returning beating upon their breast.
49 ειστηκεισαν δε παντες οι γνωστοι αυτω απο μακροθεν και γυναικες αι συνακολουθουσαι αυτω απο της γαλιλαιας ορωσαι ταυτα
But all his acquaintances and the women who had been his followers continued to stand at a distance, looking on.
50 και ιδου ανηρ ονοματι ιωσηφ βουλευτης υπαρχων {VAR2: [και] } ανηρ αγαθος και δικαιος
Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good man and a righteous,
51 ουτος ουκ ην συγκατατεθειμενος τη βουλη και τη πραξει αυτων απο αριμαθαιας πολεως των ιουδαιων ος προσεδεχετο την βασιλειαν του θεου
he who came from the Jewish town of Arimathea, and who was on the watch for the kingdom of God. He had not concurred in the designs and deed of the council.
52 ουτος προσελθων τω πιλατω ητησατο το σωμα του ιησου
This man went to Pilate, and begged for the body of Jesus.
53 και καθελων ενετυλιξεν αυτο σινδονι και εθηκεν αυτον εν μνηματι λαξευτω ου ουκ ην ουδεις ουπω κειμενος
Then taking it down, he wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no man has ever been laid.
54 και ημερα ην παρασκευης και σαββατον επεφωσκεν
And it was the day of preparation and the Sabbath was near at hand.
55 κατακολουθησασαι δε αι γυναικες αιτινες ησαν συνεληλυθυιαι εκ της γαλιλαιας αυτω εθεασαντο το μνημειον και ως ετεθη το σωμα αυτου
Then the women who had accompanied him out of Galilee followed after, and noted the tomb, and how his body was placed.
56 υποστρεψασαι δε ητοιμασαν αρωματα και μυρα και το μεν σαββατον ησυχασαν κατα την εντολην
Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes.
