Luke 23

Jesus before Pilate

1

Theng2532 the wholeg537a bodyg4128 of them gotg450 up and  abroughtg71 Him beforeg1909 Pilateg4091.

2

 aAnd they begang757 to accuseg2723 Him, sayingg3004, "We foundg2147 thisg3778 mang3778  bmisleadingg1294 our nationg1484 and  cforbiddingg2967 to payg1325 taxesg5411 to Caesarg2541, and sayingg3004 that He Himselfg1438 is  1Christg5547, a Kingg935."

3

Sog1161 Pilateg4091 askedg2065 Him, sayingg3004, "Are You the Kingg935 of the Jewsg2453?" And He answeredg611 him and saidg5346, aIt is as you sayg3004."

4

Theng2532 Pilateg4091 saidg3004 to the chiefg749 priestsg749 and the crowdsg3793, " aI findg2147 nog3762 guiltg159a in thisg3778 mang444."

5

But they kept on insistingg2001, sayingg3004, "He stirsg383 up the peopleg2992, teachingg1321 allg3650 overg2596 Judeag2453,  astartingg757 from Galileeg1056 even as farg2193 as thisg5602 placeg5602."

6

Wheng1161 Pilateg4091 heardg191 it, he askedg1905 whetherg1487 the mang444 was a Galileang1057.

7

And when he learnedg1921 that He belongedg1510g1537 to Herod'sg2264 jurisdictiong1849, he sentg375 Him to  aHerodg2264, who himselfg846 alsog2532 was in Jerusalemg2414  1at that timeg2250.

Jesus before Herod

8

Nowg1161 Herodg2264 was veryg3029 gladg5463 when he sawg3708 Jesusg2424; for  ahe hadg1510 wantedg2309 to seeg3708 Him for a longg2425 timeg5550, becauseg1223 he had been hearingg191 aboutg4012 Him and was hopingg1679 to seeg3708 someg5100  1signg4592 performedg1096 by Him.

9

And he questionedg1905 Him  1at someg2425 lengthg3056g2425; but  aHe answeredg611 him nothingg3762.

10

And the chiefg749 priestsg749 and the scribesg1122 were standingg2476 there, accusingg2723 Him vehementlyg2159.

11

And Herodg2264 with his soldiersg4753, after treatingg1848 Him with contemptg1848 and mockingg1702 Him,  adressedg4016 Him in a gorgeousg2986 robeg2066 and sentg375 Him backg375 to Pilateg4091.

12

Nowg1161  aHerodg2264 and Pilateg4091 becameg1096 friendsg5384 with oneg240 anotherg240 that veryg846 dayg2250; for beforeg4391 they had beeng4391g1510 enemiesg2189b with eachg848 otherg848.

Pilate Seeks Jesus' Release

13

Pilateg4091 summonedg4779 the chiefg749 priestsg749 and the  arulersg758 and the peopleg2992,

14

and saidg3004 to them, "You broughtg4374 thisg3778 mang444 to me as one who  aincitesg654 the peopleg2992 to rebelliong654, and beholdg2400, having examinedg350 Him beforeg1799 you, I  bhave foundg2147 nog3762 guiltg159a in thisg3778 mang444 regarding the chargesg2723 whichg3739 you makeg2723 againstg2596 Him.

15

"Nog235, norg3761 has  aHerodg2264, for he sentg375 Him backg375 to us; and beholdg2400, nothingg3762 deservingg514 deathg2288 has beeng1510 doneg4238 by Him.

16

"Thereforeg3767 I will  apunishg3811 Him and releaseg630 Him."

17

1Nowg1161 he was obligedg2192g318 to releaseg630 to them at the feastg1859 oneg1520 prisoner.]

18

But they criedg349 out allg3826 togetherg3826, sayingg3004, " aAwayg142 with thisg3778 mang3778, and releaseg630 for us Barabbasg912!"

19

(He was oneg3748 whog3748 had been throwng906 into prisong5438 for an insurrectiong4714b madeg1096 in the cityg4172, and for murderg5408.)

20

Pilateg4091, wantingg2309 to releaseg630 Jesusg2424, addressedg4377 them againg3825,

21

but they kept on callingg2019 out, sayingg3004, "Crucifyg4717, crucifyg4717 Him!"

22

And he saidg3004 to them the thirdg5154 timeg5154, "Whyg1063, whatg5101 evilg2556 has thisg3778 mang3778 doneg4160? I have foundg2147 in Him nog3762 guiltg159a demanding deathg2288; thereforeg3767 I will  apunishg3811 Him and releaseg630 Him."

23

But they were insistentg1945, with loudg3173 voicesg5456 askingg154 that He be crucifiedg4717. And their voicesg5456 began to prevailg2729.

24

And Pilateg4091 pronouncedg1948 sentenceg1948 that their demandg155 be grantedg1096.

25

And he releasedg630 the man they were askingg154 for who had been throwng906 into prisong5438 for insurrectiong4714b and murderg5408, but he deliveredg3860 Jesusg2424 to their willg2307.

Simon Bears the Cross

26

 aWheng5613 they ledg520 Him awayg520, they seizedg1949 a mang5100, Simong4613 of  bCyreneg2956, comingg2064 in from the countryg68, and placedg2007 on him the crossg4716 to carryg5342 behindg3693 Jesusg2424.

27

And followingg190 Him was a largeg4183 crowdg4128 of the peopleg2992, and of womeng1135 whog3739 were  1 amourningg2875 and lamentingg2354 Him.

28

But Jesusg2424 turningg4762 to them saidg3004, "Daughtersg2364 of Jerusalemg2419, stopg3361 weepingg2799 for Me, but weepg2799 for yourselvesg1438 and for your childreng5043.

29

"For beholdg2400, the daysg2250 are comingg2064 wheng1722g3739 they will sayg3004, ` aBlessedg3107 are the barreng4723, and the wombsg2836 that neverg3756 boreg1080, and the breastsg3149 that neverg3756 nursedg5142.'

30

"Theng5119 they will beging757 TO  aSAYg3004 TO THE MOUNTAINSg3735, `FALLg4098 ON US,' AND TO THE HILLSg1015, `COVERg2572 US.'

31

"For ifg1487 they dog4160 theseg3778 thingsg3778  1wheng1722 the treeg3586 is greeng5200, whatg5101 will happeng1096  2wheng1722 it is dryg3584?"

32

 aTwog1417 othersg2087 alsog2532, who were criminalsg2557, were being ledg71 awayg71 to be putg337 to deathg337 with Him.

The Crucifixion

33

 aWheng3753 they cameg2064 to the placeg5117 calledg2564  1The Skullg2898, thereg1563 they crucifiedg4717 Him and the criminalsg2557, oneg3739 on the rightg1188 and the otherg3739 on the leftg710.

34

 1But Jesusg2424 was sayingg3004, aFatherg3962, forgiveg863 them; for they do not knowg3609a whatg5101 they are doingg4160."  bAnd they castg906 lotsg2819, dividingg1266 up His garmentsg2440 amongg1266 themselves.

35

And the peopleg2992 stoodg2476 by, lookingg2334 on. And eveng2532 the  arulersg758 were sneeringg1592 at Him, sayingg3004, "He savedg4982 othersg243;  blet Him saveg4982 Himselfg1438 ifg1487 thisg3778 is the  1Christg5547 of Godg2316, His Choseng1588 Oneg1588."

36

The soldiersg4757 alsog2532 mockedg1702 Him, comingg4334 up to Him,  aofferingg4374 Him sourg3690 wineg3690,

37

and sayingg3004, " aIfg1487 You are the Kingg935 of the Jewsg2453, saveg4982 Yourselfg4572!"

38

Nowg1161 there was alsog2532 an inscriptiong1923 aboveg1909 Him, " aTHISg3778 IS THE KINGg935 OF THE JEWSg2453."

39

 aOneg1520 of the criminalsg2557 who were hangedg2910 there was  1hurlingg987 abuseg987 at Him, sayingg3004, "Are You not the  2Christg5547?  bSaveg4982 Yourselfg4572 and us!"

40

But the otherg2087 answeredg611, and rebukingg2008 him saidg5346, "Do you not eveng3761 fearg5399 Godg2316, sinceg3754 you are underg1722 the sameg846 sentenceg2917 of condemnationg2917?

41

"And we indeedg3303a are suffering justlyg1346, for we are receivingg618  1whatg3739 we deserveg514 for our deedsg3739g4238; but thisg3778 mang3778 has doneg4238 nothingg3762 wrongg824."

42

And he was sayingg3004, "Jesusg2424, rememberg3403 me wheng3752 You comeg2064  1in Your kingdomg932!"

43

And He saidg3004 to him, "Trulyg281 I sayg3004 to you, todayg4594 you shall be with Me in  aParadiseg3857."

44

 aIt was nowg2235 aboutg5616  1 bthe sixthg1623 hourg5610, and darknessg4655  2fellg1096 overg1909 the wholeg3650 landg1093 untilg2193  3the ninthg1729a hourg5610,

45

 1because the sung2246 was obscuredg1587; and  athe veilg2665 of the templeg3485 was torng4977  2in twog3319.

46

And Jesusg2424,  acryingg5455 out with a loudg3173 voiceg5456, saidg3004, "Fatherg3962,  bINTO YOUR HANDSg5495 I COMMITg3908 MY SPIRITg4151." Having saidg3004 thisg3778, He breathedg1606 His lastg1606.

47

 aNowg1161 when the centuriong1543 sawg3708 what had happenedg1096, he began  bpraisingg1392 Godg2316, sayingg3004, "Certainlyg3689 thisg3778 mang444 was  1innocentg1342."

48

And allg3956 the crowdsg3793 who cameg4836 togetherg4836 for thisg3778 spectacleg2335, when they observedg2334 what had happenedg1096, began to returng5290,  1 abeatingg5180 their breastsg4738.

49

 aAnd allg3956 His acquaintancesg1110 and  athe womeng1135 who accompaniedg4870 Him from Galileeg1056 were standingg2476 at a distanceg3113, seeingg3708 theseg3778 thingsg3778.

Jesus Is Buried

50

 aAnd a mang435 namedg3686 Josephg2501, who was a  bmemberg1010 of the Councilg1010, a goodg18 and righteousg1342 mang435

51

(he had not consentedg4784 to their plang1012 and actiong4234), a man from Arimatheag707, a cityg4172 of the Jewsg2453, whog3739 was  awaitingg4327 for the kingdomg932 of Godg2316;

52

thisg3778 mang3778 wentg4334 to Pilateg4091 and askedg154 for the bodyg4983 of Jesusg2424.

53

And he tookg2507 it downg2507 and wrappedg1794 it in a lineng4616 clothg4616, and laidg5087 Him in a tombg3418 cutg2991 into the rockg2991, whereg3757 nog3756 oneg3762 had everg3768 laing2749.

54

It was  athe  1preparationg3904 dayg2250, and the Sabbathg4521 was aboutg2020 to  2beging2020.

55

Nowg1161  athe womeng1135 whog3748 had comeg4905 with Him out of Galileeg1056 followedg2628, and sawg2300 the tombg3419 and howg5613 His bodyg4983 was laidg5087.

56

Theng2532 they returnedg5290 and  apreparedg2090 spicesg759 and perfumesg3464.

And  bon the Sabbathg4521 they restedg2270 accordingg2596 to the commandmentg1785.
