Luke 23
1 Then they all rose in a body and led Jesus before Pilate.
και ανασταν απαν το πληθος αυτων ηγαγον αυτον επι τον πιλατον
2 And they began to accuse him, ‘This is a man whom we found misleading our people, preventing them from paying taxes to the Emperor, and giving out that he himself is “Christ, a king.”’
ηρξαντο δε κατηγορειν αυτου λεγοντες τουτον ευραμεν διαστρεφοντα το εθνος ημων και κωλυοντα φορους καισαρι διδοναι και λεγοντα εαυτον χριστον βασιλεα ειναι
3 ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ Pilate asked him. ‘It is true,’ replied Jesus.
ο δε πιλατος ηρωτησεν αυτον λεγων συ ει ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων ο δε αποκριθεις αυτω εφη συ λεγεις
4 But Pilate, turning to the chief priests and the people, said, ‘I do not see anything to find fault with in this man.’
ο δε πιλατος ειπεν προς τους αρχιερεις και τους οχλους ουδεν ευρισκω αιτιον εν τω ανθρωπω τουτω
5 But they insisted, ‘He is stirring up the people by his teaching all through Judea; he began with Galilee and has now come here.’
οι δε επισχυον λεγοντες οτι ανασειει τον λαον διδασκων καθ ολης της ιουδαιας και αρξαμενος απο της γαλιλαιας εως ωδε
6 Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;
πιλατος δε ακουσας επηρωτησεν ει {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } ανθρωπος γαλιλαιος εστιν
7 and, having satisfied himself that Jesus came under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who also was at Jerusalem at the time.
και επιγνους οτι εκ της εξουσιας ηρωδου εστιν ανεπεμψεν αυτον προς ηρωδην οντα και αυτον εν ιεροσολυμοις εν ταυταις ταις ημεραις
8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly pleased, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, having heard a great deal about him; and he was hoping to see some sign given by him.
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
9 So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.
επηρωτα δε αυτον εν λογοις ικανοις αυτος δε ουδεν απεκρινατο αυτω
10 Meanwhile the chief priests and the teachers of the Law stood by and vehemently accused him.
ειστηκεισαν δε οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις ευτονως κατηγορουντες αυτου
11 And Herod, with his soldiers, treated Jesus with scorn; he mocked him by throwing a gorgeous robe round him, and then sent him back to Pilate.
εξουθενησας δε αυτον {VAR2: [και] } ο ηρωδης συν τοις στρατευμασιν αυτου και εμπαιξας περιβαλων εσθητα λαμπραν ανεπεμψεν αυτον τω πιλατω
12 And Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, for before that there had been ill-will between them.
εγενοντο δε φιλοι ο τε ηρωδης και ο πιλατος εν αυτη τη ημερα μετ αλληλων προυπηρχον γαρ εν εχθρα οντες προς αυτους
13 So Pilate summoned the chief priests, and the leading men, and the people,
πιλατος δε συγκαλεσαμενος τους αρχιερεις και τους αρχοντας και τον λαον
14 and said to them, ‘You brought this man before me charged with misleading the people; and yet, for my part, though I examined him before you, I did not find this man to blame for any of the things of which you accuse him;
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
15 nor did Herod either; for he has sent him back to us. And, as a fact, he has not done anything deserving death;
αλλ ουδε ηρωδης ανεπεμψεν γαρ αυτον προς ημας και ιδου ουδεν αξιον θανατου εστιν πεπραγμενον αυτω
16 so I will have him scourged, and then release him.’
παιδευσας ουν αυτον απολυσω
18 But they began to shout as one man, ‘Kill this fellow, but release Barabbas for us.’
ανεκραγον δε παμπληθει λεγοντες αιρε τουτον απολυσον δε ημιν τον βαραββαν
19 (Barabbas was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had broken out in the city and for murder.)
οστις ην δια στασιν τινα γενομενην εν τη πολει και φονον βληθεις εν τη φυλακη
20 Pilate, however, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again;
παλιν δε ο πιλατος προσεφωνησεν αυτοις θελων απολυσαι τον ιησουν
21 but they kept calling out, ‘Crucify, crucify him!’
οι δε επεφωνουν λεγοντες σταυρου σταυρου αυτον
22 ‘Why, what harm has this man done?’ Pilate said to them for the third time. ‘I have found nothing in him for which he could be condemned to death. So I will have him scourged, and then release him.’
ο δε τριτον ειπεν προς αυτους τι γαρ κακον εποιησεν ουτος ουδεν αιτιον θανατου ευρον εν αυτω παιδευσας ουν αυτον απολυσω
23 But they persisted in loudly demanding his crucifixion; and their clamour gained the day.
οι δε επεκειντο φωναις μεγαλαις αιτουμενοι αυτον σταυρωθηναι και κατισχυον αι φωναι αυτων
24 Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
και πιλατος επεκρινεν γενεσθαι το αιτημα αυτων
25 He released the man who had been put in prison for riot and murder, as they demanded, and gave Jesus up to be dealt with as they pleased.
απελυσεν δε τον δια στασιν και φονον βεβλημενον εις φυλακην ον ητουντο τον δε ιησουν παρεδωκεν τω θεληματι αυτων
26 And, as they were leading Jesus away, they laid hold of Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on his shoulders, for him to carry it behind Jesus.
και ως απηγαγον αυτον επιλαβομενοι σιμωνα τινα κυρηναιον ερχομενον απ αγρου επεθηκαν αυτω τον σταυρον φερειν οπισθεν του ιησου
27 There was a great crowd of people following him, many being women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.
ηκολουθει δε αυτω πολυ πληθος του λαου και γυναικων αι εκοπτοντο και εθρηνουν αυτον
28 So Jesus turned and said to them, ‘Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
στραφεις δε προς αυτας {VAR2: [ο] } ιησους ειπεν θυγατερες ιερουσαλημ μη κλαιετε επ εμε πλην εφ εαυτας κλαιετε και επι τα τεκνα υμων
29 A time, I tell you, is coming, when it will be said – “Happy are the women who are barren, and those who have never borne children or nursed them!”
οτι ιδου ερχονται ημεραι εν αις ερουσιν μακαριαι αι στειραι και αι κοιλιαι αι ουκ εγεννησαν και μαστοι οι ουκ εθρεψαν
30 At that time people will begin to say to the mountains “Fall on us,” and to the hills “Cover us.”
τοτε αρξονται λεγειν τοις ορεσιν πεσετε εφ ημας και τοις βουνοις καλυψατε ημας
31 If what you see is done while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?’
οτι ει εν {VAR2: τω } υγρω ξυλω ταυτα ποιουσιν εν τω ξηρω τι γενηται
32 There were two others also, criminals, led out to be executed with Jesus.
ηγοντο δε και ετεροι κακουργοι δυο συν αυτω αναιρεθηναι
33 When they had reached the place called “The Skull,” there they crucified Jesus and the criminals, one on the right, and one on the left.
και οτε ηλθον επι τον τοπον τον καλουμενον κρανιον εκει εσταυρωσαν αυτον και τους κακουργους ον μεν εκ δεξιων ον δε εξ αριστερων
34 Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.’ His clothes they divided among them by casting lots.
[[ο δε ιησους ελεγεν πατερ αφες αυτοις ου γαρ οιδασιν τι ποιουσιν]] διαμεριζομενοι δε τα ιματια αυτου εβαλον {VAR1: κληρον } {VAR2: κληρους }
35 Meanwhile the people stood looking on. Even the leading men said with a sneer, ‘He saved others, let him save himself, if he is God’s Christ, his chosen one.’
και ειστηκει ο λαος θεωρων εξεμυκτηριζον δε και οι αρχοντες λεγοντες αλλους εσωσεν σωσατω εαυτον ει ουτος εστιν ο χριστος του θεου ο εκλεκτος
36 The soldiers, too, came up in mockery, bringing him common wine,
ενεπαιξαν δε αυτω και οι στρατιωται προσερχομενοι οξος προσφεροντες αυτω
37 and saying as they did so, ‘If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.’
και λεγοντες ει συ ει ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων σωσον σεαυτον
38 Above him were the words – “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
ην δε και επιγραφη επ αυτω ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων ουτος
39 One of the criminals who were hanging beside Jesus railed at him. ‘Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us,’ he said.
εις δε των κρεμασθεντων κακουργων εβλασφημει αυτον {VAR2: λεγων } ουχι συ ει ο χριστος σωσον σεαυτον και ημας
40 But the other rebuked him. ‘Haven’t you,’ he said, ‘any fear of God, now that you are under the same sentence?
αποκριθεις δε ο ετερος επιτιμων αυτω εφη ουδε φοβη συ τον θεον οτι εν τω αυτω κριματι ει
41 And we justly so, for we are only reaping our deserts, but this man has not done anything wrong.
και ημεις μεν δικαιως αξια γαρ ων επραξαμεν απολαμβανομεν ουτος δε ουδεν ατοπον επραξεν
42 Jesus,’ he went on, ‘do not forget me when you have come to your kingdom.’
και ελεγεν ιησου μνησθητι μου οταν ελθης εις την βασιλειαν σου
43 And Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, this very day you will be with me in Paradise.’
και ειπεν αυτω αμην σοι λεγω σημερον μετ εμου εση εν τω παραδεισω
44 It was nearly midday, when a darkness came over the whole country, lasting until three in the afternoon,
και ην ηδη ωσει ωρα εκτη και σκοτος εγενετο εφ ολην την γην εως ωρας ενατης
45 the sun being eclipsed; and the Temple curtain was torn down the middle.
του ηλιου {VAR1: εκλειποντος } {VAR2: εκλιποντος } εσχισθη δε το καταπετασμα του ναου μεσον
46 Then Jesus, with a loud cry, said, ‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.’ And with these words he expired.
και φωνησας φωνη μεγαλη ο ιησους ειπεν πατερ εις χειρας σου παρατιθεμαι το πνευμα μου τουτο δε ειπων εξεπνευσεν
47 The Roman centurion, on seeing what had happened, praised God, exclaiming, ‘This must have been a good man!’
ιδων δε ο εκατονταρχης το γενομενον εδοξαζεν τον θεον λεγων οντως ο ανθρωπος ουτος δικαιος ην
48 All the people who had collected to see the sight watched what occurred, and then went home beating their breasts.
και παντες οι συμπαραγενομενοι οχλοι επι την θεωριαν ταυτην θεωρησαντες τα γενομενα τυπτοντες τα στηθη υπεστρεφον
49 All the friends of Jesus had been standing at a distance, with the women who accompanied him from Galilee, watching all this.
ειστηκεισαν δε παντες οι γνωστοι αυτω απο μακροθεν και γυναικες αι συνακολουθουσαι αυτω απο της γαλιλαιας ορωσαι ταυτα
50 Now there was a man of the name of Joseph, who was a member of the Council, and who bore a good and upright character.
και ιδου ανηρ ονοματι ιωσηφ βουλευτης υπαρχων {VAR2: [και] } ανηρ αγαθος και δικαιος
51 (This man had not assented to the decision and action of the Council.) He belonged to Arimathea, a town in Judea, and lived in expectation of the kingdom of God.
ουτος ουκ ην συγκατατεθειμενος τη βουλη και τη πραξει αυτων απο αριμαθαιας πολεως των ιουδαιων ος προσεδεχετο την βασιλειαν του θεου
52 He now went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus;
ουτος προσελθων τω πιλατω ητησατο το σωμα του ιησου
53 and, when he had taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen sheet, and laid him in a tomb cut out of stone, in which no one had yet been buried.
και καθελων ενετυλιξεν αυτο σινδονι και εθηκεν αυτον εν μνηματι λαξευτω ου ουκ ην ουδεις ουπω κειμενος
54 It was the Preparation day, and just before the Sabbath began.
και ημερα ην παρασκευης και σαββατον επεφωσκεν
55 The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how the body of Jesus was laid,
κατακολουθησασαι δε αι γυναικες αιτινες ησαν συνεληλυθυιαι εκ της γαλιλαιας αυτω εθεασαντο το μνημειον και ως ετεθη το σωμα αυτου
56 and then went home, and prepared spices and perfumes. During the Sabbath they rested, as directed by the commandment.
υποστρεψασαι δε ητοιμασαν αρωματα και μυρα και το μεν σαββατον ησυχασαν κατα την εντολην
