Luke 23
1 Jesus is accused before Pilate, and sent to Herod. 8 Herod mocketh him. 12 Herod and Pilate are made friends. 18 Barabbas is desired of the people, and is loosed by Pilate, and Jesus is given to be crucified. 27 He telleth the women, that lament him, the destruction of Jerusalem: 34 prayeth for his enemies. 39 Two evildoers are crucified with him. 46 His death. 50 His burial.
23:1
Then 2532 the whole 537a body 4128 of them got 450 up and brought 71 Him before 1909 Pilate 4091.
23:2
And they began 757 to accuse 2723 Him, saying 3004, “We found 2147 this 3778 man 3778 misleading 1294 our nation 1484 and forbidding 2967 to pay 1325 taxes 5411 to Caesar 2541, and saying 3004 that He Himself 1438 is Christ 5547, a King 935.”
23:3
So 1161 Pilate 4091 asked 2065 Him, saying 3004, “Are You the King 935 of the Jews 2453?” And He answered 611 him and said 5346, “[It is as] you say 3004.”
23:4
Then 2532 Pilate 4091 said 3004 to the chief 749 priests 749 and the crowds 3793, “I find 2147 no 3762 guilt 159a in this 3778 man 444.”
23:5
But they kept on insisting 2001, saying 3004, “He stirs 383 up the people 2992, teaching 1321 all 3650 over 2596 Judea 2453, starting 757 from Galilee 1056 even as far 2193 as this 5602 place 5602.”
23:6
¶ When 1161 Pilate 4091 heard 191 it, he asked 1905 whether 1487 the man 444 was a Galilean 1057.
23:7
And when he learned 1921 that He belonged 1510 1537 to Herod’s 2264 jurisdiction 1849, he sent 375 Him to Herod 2264, who himself 846 also 2532 was in Jerusalem 2414 at that time 2250.
23:8
¶ Now 1161 Herod 2264 was very 3029 glad 5463 when he saw 3708 Jesus 2424; for he had 1510 wanted 2309 to see 3708 Him for a long 2425 time 5550, because 1223 he had been hearing 191 about 4012 Him and was hoping 1679 to see 3708 some 5100 sign 4592 performed 1096 by Him.
23:9
And he questioned 1905 Him at some 2425 length 3056 2425; but He answered 611 him nothing 3762.
23:10
And the chief 749 priests 749 and the scribes 1122 were standing 2476 there, accusing 2723 Him vehemently 2159.
23:11
And Herod 2264 with his soldiers 4753, after treating 1848 Him with contempt 1848 and mocking 1702 Him, dressed 4016 Him in a gorgeous 2986 robe 2066 and sent 375 Him back 375 to Pilate 4091.
23:12
Now 1161 Herod 2264 and Pilate 4091 became 1096 friends 5384 with one 240 another 240 that very 846 day 2250; for before 4391 they had been 4391 1510 enemies 2189b with each 848 other 848.
23:13
¶ Pilate 4091 summoned 4779 the chief 749 priests 749 and the rulers 758 and the people 2992,
23:14
and said 3004 to them, “You brought 4374 this 3778 man 444 to me as one who incites 654 the people 2992 to rebellion 654, and behold 2400, having examined 350 Him before 1799 you, I have found 2147 no 3762 guilt 159a in this 3778 man 444 regarding the charges 2723 which 3739 you make 2723 against 2596 Him.
23:15
“No 235, nor 3761 has Herod 2264, for he sent 375 Him back 375 to us; and behold 2400, nothing 3762 deserving 514 death 2288 has been 1510 done 4238 by Him.
23:16
“Therefore 3767 I will punish 3811 Him and release 630 Him.”
23:17
[[Now 1161 he was obliged 2192 318 to release 630 to them at the feast 1859 one 1520 prisoner.]]
23:18
¶ But they cried 349 out all 3826 together 3826, saying 3004, “Away 142 with this 3778 man 3778, and release 630 for us Barabbas 912!”
23:19
(He was one 3748 who 3748 had been thrown 906 into prison 5438 for an insurrection 4714b made 1096 in the city 4172, and for murder 5408.)
23:20
Pilate 4091, wanting 2309 to release 630 Jesus 2424, addressed 4377 them again 3825,
23:21
but they kept on calling 2019 out, saying 3004, “Crucify 4717, crucify 4717 Him!”
23:22
And he said 3004 to them the third 5154 time 5154, “Why 1063, what 5101 evil 2556 has this 3778 man 3778 done 4160? I have found 2147 in Him no 3762 guilt 159a [demanding] death 2288; therefore 3767 I will punish 3811 Him and release 630 Him.”
23:23
But they were insistent 1945, with loud 3173 voices 5456 asking 154 that He be crucified 4717. And their voices 5456 [began] to prevail 2729.
23:24
And Pilate 4091 pronounced 1948 sentence 1948 that their demand 155 be granted 1096.
23:25
And he released 630 the man they were asking 154 for who had been thrown 906 into prison 5438 for insurrection 4714b and murder 5408, but he delivered 3860 Jesus 2424 to their will 2307.
23:26
¶ When 5613 they led 520 Him away 520, they seized 1949 a man 5100, Simon 4613 of Cyrene 2956, coming 2064 in from the country 68, and placed 2007 on him the cross 4716 to carry 5342 behind 3693 Jesus 2424.
23:27
¶ And following 190 Him was a large 4183 crowd 4128 of the people 2992, and of women 1135 who 3739 were mourning 2875 and lamenting 2354 Him.
23:28
But Jesus 2424 turning 4762 to them said 3004, “Daughters 2364 of Jerusalem 2419, stop 3361 weeping 2799 for Me, but weep 2799 for yourselves 1438 and for your children 5043.
23:29
“For behold 2400, the days 2250 are coming 2064 when 1722 3739 they will say 3004, ‘Blessed 3107 are the barren 4723, and the wombs 2836 that never 3756 bore 1080, and the breasts 3149 that never 3756 nursed 5142.’
23:30
“Then 5119 they will begin 757 TO SAY 3004 TO THE MOUNTAINS 3735, ‘FALL 4098 ON US,’ AND TO THE HILLS 1015, ‘COVER 2572 US.’
23:31
“For if 1487 they do 4160 these 3778 things 3778 when 1722 the tree 3586 is green 5200, what 5101 will happen 1096 when 1722 it is dry 3584?”
23:32
¶ Two 1417 others 2087 also 2532, who were criminals 2557, were being led 71 away 71 to be put 337 to death 337 with Him.
23:33
¶ When 3753 they came 2064 to the place 5117 called 2564 The Skull 2898, there 1563 they crucified 4717 Him and the criminals 2557, one 3739 on the right 1188 and the other 3739 on the left 710.
23:34
But Jesus 2424 was saying 3004, “Father 3962, forgive 863 them; for they do not know 3609a what 5101 they are doing 4160.” And they cast 906 lots 2819, dividing 1266 up His garments 2440 among 1266 themselves.
23:35
And the people 2992 stood 2476 by, looking 2334 on. And even 2532 the rulers 758 were sneering 1592 at Him, saying 3004, “He saved 4982 others 243; let Him save 4982 Himself 1438 if 1487 this 3778 is the Christ 5547 of God 2316, His Chosen 1588 One 1588.”
23:36
The soldiers 4757 also 2532 mocked 1702 Him, coming 4334 up to Him, offering 4374 Him sour 3690 wine 3690,
23:37
and saying 3004, “If 1487 You are the King 935 of the Jews 2453, save 4982 Yourself 4572!”
23:38
Now 1161 there was also 2532 an inscription 1923 above 1909 Him, “THIS 3778 IS THE KING 935 OF THE JEWS 2453.”
23:39
¶ One 1520 of the criminals 2557 who were hanged 2910 [there] was hurling 987 abuse 987 at Him, saying 3004, “Are You not the Christ 5547? Save 4982 Yourself 4572 and us!”
23:40
But the other 2087 answered 611, and rebuking 2008 him said 5346, “Do you not even 3761 fear 5399 God 2316, since 3754 you are under 1722 the same 846 sentence 2917 of condemnation 2917?
23:41
“And we indeed 3303a [are suffering] justly 1346, for we are receiving 618 what 3739 we deserve 514 for our deeds 3739 4238; but this 3778 man 3778 has done 4238 nothing 3762 wrong 824.”
23:42
And he was saying 3004, “Jesus 2424, remember 3403 me when 3752 You come 2064 in Your kingdom 932!”
23:43
And He said 3004 to him, “Truly 281 I say 3004 to you, today 4594 you shall be with Me in Paradise 3857.”
23:44
¶ It was now 2235 about 5616 the sixth 1623 hour 5610, and darkness 4655 fell 1096 over 1909 the whole 3650 land 1093 until 2193 the ninth 1729a hour 5610,
23:45
because the sun 2246 was obscured 1587; and the veil 2665 of the temple 3485 was torn 4977 in two 3319.
23:46
And Jesus 2424, crying 5455 out with a loud 3173 voice 5456, said 3004, “Father 3962, INTO YOUR HANDS 5495 I COMMIT 3908 MY SPIRIT 4151.” Having said 3004 this 3778, He breathed 1606 His last 1606.
23:47
Now 1161 when the centurion 1543 saw 3708 what had happened 1096, he [began] praising 1392 God 2316, saying 3004, “Certainly 3689 this 3778 man 444 was innocent 1342.”
23:48
And all 3956 the crowds 3793 who came 4836 together 4836 for this 3778 spectacle 2335, when they observed 2334 what had happened 1096, [began] to return 5290, beating 5180 their breasts 4738.
23:49
And all 3956 His acquaintances 1110 and the women 1135 who accompanied 4870 Him from Galilee 1056 were standing 2476 at a distance 3113, seeing 3708 these 3778 things 3778.
23:50
¶ And a man 435 named 3686 Joseph 2501, who was a member 1010 of the Council 1010, a good 18 and righteous 1342 man 435
23:51
(he had not consented 4784 to their plan 1012 and action 4234), [a man] from Arimathea 707, a city 4172 of the Jews 2453, who 3739 was waiting 4327 for the kingdom 932 of God 2316;
23:52
this 3778 man 3778 went 4334 to Pilate 4091 and asked 154 for the body 4983 of Jesus 2424.
23:53
And he took 2507 it down 2507 and wrapped 1794 it in a linen 4616 cloth 4616, and laid 5087 Him in a tomb 3418 cut 2991 into the rock 2991, where 3757 no 3756 one 3762 had ever 3768 lain 2749.
23:54
It was the preparation 3904 day 2250, and the Sabbath 4521 was about 2020 to begin 2020.
23:55
Now 1161 the women 1135 who 3748 had come 4905 with Him out of Galilee 1056 followed 2628, and saw 2300 the tomb 3419 and how 5613 His body 4983 was laid 5087.
23:56
Then 2532 they returned 5290 and prepared 2090 spices 759 and perfumes 3464. ¶ And on the Sabbath 4521 they rested 2270 according 2596 to the commandment 1785.
