Luke 23
1 And having risen, the whole company of them led him to Pilate.
And one and all the throng of them, arising, led him unto Pilate.
2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ, a king.
And they began to accuse him, saying—This one, found we, perverting our nation, and forbidding to give, tribute unto Caesar, —and affirming himself to be, an anointed king.
3 And Pilate questioned him, saying, Are thou the king of the Jews? And having answered him, he said, Thou say.
And, Pilate, questioned him, saying—Art, thou, the king of the Jews? And, he, answering him, said—Thou, sayest.
4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, I find nothing guilty in this man.
And, Pilate, said unto the High-priests and the multitudes, Nothing, find I, worthy of blame, in this man.
5 But they were emphatic, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee as far as here.
But, they, began to be urgent, saying—He is stirring up the people, teaching along all Judaea, even beginning from Galilee unto this place.
6 And when Pilate heard Galilee, he questioned if the man is a Galilean.
Now, Pilate, hearing [that], questioned whether the man was, a Galilaean.
7 And when he perceived that he is from Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself also in Jerusalem in these days.
And, getting to know that he was of the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he also, being in Jerusalem in these days.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he was wanting of a considerable time to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he hoped to see some sign happening by him.
And, Herod, seeing Jesus, rejoiced exceedingly; for he had been, a considerable number of times, wishing to see him, —because he had heard concerning him, and was hoping, some sign, to behold, by him, brought to pass.
9 And he interrogated him in considerable words, but he answered him nothing.
And he went on to question him in a good many words; but, he, answered him, nothing.
10 And the chief priests and the scholars had stood, vehemently accusing him.
And the High-priests and the Scribes stood vehemently accusing him.
11 But Herod having disdained him with his soldiers, and having mocked him, having arraying him in a bright robe, he sent him back to Pilate.
And Herod with his soldiery, having set him at nought, and mocked him, threw about him a gorgeous robe, and sent him back unto Pilate.
12 And both Pilate and Herod became friends with each other on the same day, for they were formerly being at enmity toward themselves.
And they became friends—both Herod and Pilate—on the self-same day, one with another; for they had previously been at enmity between themselves.
13 And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,
And, Pilate, calling together the High-priests, and the Rulers, and the people,
14 said to them, Ye brought this man to me as turning away the people. And behold, I, having examined him before you, found nothing guilty in this man of what ye accuse against him.
said unto them—Ye brought unto me this man, as one turning away the people, and lo! I, in your presence, examining him, found, nothing, in this man worthy of blame, in respect of the things whereof ye were making accusation against him.
15 But not even Herod, for I sent you back to him, and lo, nothing having been done by him is worthy of death.
Nay! nor Herod; for he hath sent him back unto you, —and lo! nothing worthy of death, hath been done by him.
16 Therefore, having scourged I will release him.
So, then, chastising him, I will release him.
17 Now he had need to release one man to them at every feast.
18 But they cried out all together, saying, Take away this man, and release to us Barabbas
But they cried aloud, with the whole throng, saying—Away with this man! and release unto us Barabbas: —
19 (a man who was cast into prison because of a certain insurrection that occurred in the city, and for murder).

20 Again therefore Pilate called out wanting to release Jesus,

21 but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.
But, they, called out in return, saying—Crucify! crucify him!
22 And he said to them a third time, For what evil did this man do? I have found nothing guilty of death in him. I will therefore, having scourged, release him.
But, he, the third time, said unto them—Why! what base thing hath this man done? Nothing worthy of death, found I in him. Chastising him, then, I will release him!
23 But they were relentless with loud voices demanding him to be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.
But they became urgent with loud voices, claiming to have him crucified; and their voices began to prevail.
24 And Pilate decreed their request to happen.
And, Pilate, consented, that their request should be granted;
25 And he released the man who had been cast into prison because of insurrection and murder, whom they asked for, but he delivered Jesus to their will.
and released him who, for revolt and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they claimed, —whereas, Jesus, delivered he up unto their will.
26 And when they led him away, having taken hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian coming from the countryside, they laid the cross on him to bring behind Jesus.
And, as they led him away, they laid hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the country, —they laid on him the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
27 And a great multitude of the people followed him, and also of women who bewailed and lamented him.
And there was following him a great throng of the people, and of women, who were smiting themselves and lamenting him.
28 But having turning to them, Jesus said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, instead weep for yourselves and for your children.
But, turning towards them, Jesus said—Daughters of Jerusalem! Do not weep for me; but, for yourselves, be weeping, and for your children.
29 Because, behold, the days are coming, during which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the bellies that gave no birth, and the breasts that did not suckle.
For lo! days are coming, in which they will say—Happy the barren! even the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.
30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us.
Then, will they begin to say—unto the mountains, Fall upon us! and unto the hills, Cover us!
31 Because if they do these things in the green tree, what will happen in the dry?
Because if, in moist wood, these things, they are doing, —in, the dry, what shall happen?
32 And two other men, malefactors, were also led with him to be executed.
And there were being led, two other evil-doers also, to be lifted up.
33 And when they came to the place called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one at the right hand and the other at the left.
And, when they came into the place which was called Skull, there, they crucified him; and the evil-doers, one indeed on the right hand, and the other on the left.

But, Jesus, was saying—Father! forgive them; for they know not what they do. And, when they were parting his garments, they cast lots.
35 And the people had stood watching. And also the rulers with them sneered, saying, He saved others. He should save himself, if this is the Christ, the chosen of God.

39 And one of the malefactors who were hanged railed him, saying, If thou are the Christ, save thyself and us.
And, one of the suspended evil-doers, began to defame him—Art not, thou, the Christ? Save thyself and us!
40 But the other man having answered, rebuking him, saying, Thou fear not even God, since thou are in the same condemnation?
But the other, answering, rebuked him, and said—Neither fearest, thou, God, in that thou art, in the same judgment?
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive worthy of what we did, but this man did nothing amiss.
And, we, indeed, justly, —for, things worthy of what we have done, are we duly receiving, but, this man, nothing amiss, hath done.
42 And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou come into thy kingdom.
And he went on to say—Jesus! remember me, whensoever thou shalt come into thy kingdom.

53 And having taken it down, he wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher cut in rock, of which no man was yet lain.
And, taking it down, he wrapped it in a fine Indian cloth, and laid him in a tomb hewn in stone, —where no one as yet was lying.
54 And the day was Preparation; sabbath was beginning.
