Luke 23

1And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.

1And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate,

2And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

2and began to accuse him, saying, `This one we found perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a king.'

3And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

3And Pilate questioned him, saying, `Thou art the king of the Jews?' and he answering him, said, `Thou dost say <FI>it<Fi> .'

4Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

4And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, `I find no fault in this man;'

5And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

5and they were the more urgent, saying--`He doth stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea--having begun from Galilee--unto this place.'

6When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.

6And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean,

7And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

7and having known that he is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he being also in Jerusalem in those days.

8And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

8And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long <FI>time<Fi> to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done by him,

9Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

9and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.

10And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

10And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing him,

11And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

11and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate,

12And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

12and both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with one another, for they were before at enmity between themselves.

13And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

13And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,

14Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto 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 whereof ye accuse him:

14said unto them, `Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him;

15No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

15no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;

16I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

16having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'

17(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

17for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast,

18And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

18and they cried out--the whole multitude--saying, `Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,'

19(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

19who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison.

20Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.

20Pilate again then--wishing to release Jesus--called to them,

21But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

21but they were calling out, saying, `Crucify, crucify him.'

22And he said unto 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.

22And he a third time said unto them, `Why, what evil did he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will release <FI>him<Fi> .'

23And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

23And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,

24And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

24and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,

25And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

25and he released him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave up to their will.

26And 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.

26And as they led him away, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put on him the cross, to bear <FI>it<Fi> behind Jesus.

27And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

27And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,

28But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

28and Jesus having turned unto them, said, `Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children;

29For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

29for, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give suck;

30Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

30then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us; --

31For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

31for, if in the green tree they do these things--in the dry what may happen?'

32And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

32And there were also others--two evil-doers--with him, to be put to death;

33And when they were 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.

33and when they came to the place that is called Skull, there they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

34Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

34And Jesus said, `Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot.

35And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

35And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, `Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.'

36And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

36And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him,

37And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

37and saying, `If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.'

38And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38And there was also a superscription written over him, in letters of Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew, `This is the King of the Jews.'

39And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

39And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of him, saying, `If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.'

40But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

40And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, `Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment?

41And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

41and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;'

42And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

42and he said to Jesus, `Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;'

43And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

43and Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.'

44And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

44And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour,

45And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

45and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst,

46And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

46and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, `Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;' and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit.

47Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

47And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, `Really this man was righteous;'

48And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

48and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back;

49And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

49and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.

50And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:

50And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous,

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.

51--he was not consenting to their counsel and deed--from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God,

52This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

52he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus,

53And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

53and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid.

54And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

54And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching,

55And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

55and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed,

56And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

56and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command.
