< Luke 23 >

1 And having risen up all the multitude of them (they led *N+kO) Him to Pilate.
Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.
2 They began then to accuse Him saying; This [man] we found misleading the nation (of us *NO) and forbidding tribute to Caesar to be given (and *no) declaring Himself Christ a king to be.
And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”
3 And Pilate (asked *N+kO) Him saying; You yourself are the King of the Jews? And answering him He was saying; You yourself say.
So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds; No [thing] find I guilty in man this.
Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
5 But they were insisting saying that He stirs up the people teaching throughout all of Judea (and *no) He has begun from Galilee until here.
But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”
6 Pilate now having heard (Galilee *KO) asked whether the man a Galilean is,
When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7 and having learned that from the jurisdiction of Herod He is, he sent up Him to Herod being also he himself in Jerusalem in those days.
And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.
8 And Herod having seen Jesus [was] glad exceedingly; he was for of (long *N+kO) time wishing to see Him because of hearing (many things *K) concerning Him and he was hoping some sign to see by Him done.
When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.
9 He was questioning then Him in words many; He himself however no [thing] answered him.
Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.
10 Had been standing by now the chief priests and the scribes vehemently accusing Him.
Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.
11 Having set at naught then Him (also *no) Herod with the troops of him and having mocked [and] having put on (Him *ko) apparel splendid, sent back Him to Pilate.
And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.
12 Became then friends both Herod and Pilate on that day with one another; they were formerly for at enmity they were between (them. *N+k+o)
That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.
13 Pilate then having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people
Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
14 said to them; You brought to me man this as misleading the people; and behold I myself before you having examined [Him] no [thing] found in man this guilty of that accusation you are bringing against Him;
and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.
15 But not even [did] Herod; (he sent back *N+KO) for Him to (us *N+KO) And behold no [thing] worthy of death is done by Him.
Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.
16 Having chastised therefore Him I will release [Him].
Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”
17 (necessity *KO) (now had to release to them according to feast one. *K)
18 (They cried out *N+kO) however all together saying; do remove this [man], do release now to us Barabbas;
But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”
19 who was on account of insurrection a certain having been made in the city and murder (being cast into *N+kO) (the *no) (prison. *N+kO)
(Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
20 Again (therefore *N+kO) Pilate called to them wishing to release Jesus.
Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,
21 But they were crying out saying; (do crucify do crucify *N+kO) Him.
but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”
22 And a third [time] he said to them; What for evil did commit this [man]? No [thing] worthy of death found I in Him. Having chastised therefore Him I will release [Him].
A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”
23 But they were urgent with voices loud asking for Him to be crucified, And were prevailing the voices of them (and of the chief priests. *KO)
But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.
24 (and *N+kO) Pilate sentenced to be done the demand of them.
So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.
25 He released then (to them *k) the [one] on account of insurrection and murder cast into prison whom they were asking for; and Jesus he delivered to the will of them.
As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and handed Jesus over to their will.
26 And as they led away Him, having laid hold on (Simon a certain from Cyrene *N+kO) (who *k) (is coming *N+kO) from [the] country they put upon him the cross to carry behind Jesus.
As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.
27 Were following now Him a great multitude of the people and of women who (also *k) were mourning and they were lamenting for Him.
A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.
28 Having turned then to them Jesus said; Daughters of Jerusalem, not do weep for Me myself, but for yourselves do weep and for the children of you.
But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 For behold are coming days in which they will say; Blessed [are] the barren and (the *no) wombs that never did bear and breasts that never (they feed. *N+kO)
Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’
30 Then They will begin to say to the mountains; do fall upon us; and to the hills; do cover us.
At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’
31 For if in the green tree these things they do, in the dry what may happen?
For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
32 Were being led away now also other criminals two with Him to be executed.
Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.
33 And when (they came *N+kO) to the place which is being called [The] Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, the one on [the] right, another and on [the] left.
When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left.
34 And Jesus was saying; Father, do forgive them; not for they know what they do. Dividing then the garments of Him they cast (lots. *NK+o)
Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.
35 And had stood the people beholding. Were deriding [Him] then also the rulers (with them *k) saying; Others He saved, he should save Himself if this is the Christ of God (the *no) Chosen [One].
The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”
36 (Mocked *N+kO) then Him also the soldiers coming near, (and *k) sour wine offering to Him
The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.
37 and saying; If You yourself are the King of the Jews, do save Yourself!
“If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”
38 There was now also an inscription (written *K+o) over Him (writings in Greek and in Latin and in Hebrew; is *K) the King of the Jews This [is].
Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 One now of those having been hanged criminals he was denigrating Him saying: (Surely *N+KO) you yourself are the Christ? do save Yourself and us!
One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”
40 Answering now the other (rebuking *N+kO) him (was speaking; *N+kO) Not even do fear you yourself God that under the same judgment you are?
But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?
41 and we ourselves indeed justly, Worthy for of what we did we are receiving; [this] man however no [thing] wrong did.
We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
42 And he was saying: Jesus, do remember me (Lord *K) when You may come (into *N+kO) (the kingdom *NK+o) of You!
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”
43 And He said to him (Jesus: *ko) Amen to you I say: today with Me you will be in Paradise.
And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.
47 Having seen now the centurion that having taken place (he was glorifying *N+kO) God saying; Certainly man this righteous was.
When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”
48 And all the having come together crowds to spectacle this, (having seen *N+kO) the [things] having taken place, beating (their own *k) breasts were returning [home].
And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.
