Luke 23:27-49

27

A greatG4183 numberG4128 of peopleG2992 followedG190 HimG846, includingG2532 womenG1135 whoG3739 kept mourningG2875 andG2532 wailingG2354 for HimG846. 28ButG1161 JesusG2424 turnedG4762 toG4314 themG846 and saidG2036, “DaughtersG2364 of JerusalemG2419, do notG3361 weepG2799 forG1909 MeG1473, butG4133 weepG2799 forG1909 yourselvesG1438 andG2532 forG1909 yourG4771 childrenG5043. 29LookG2400, the daysG2250 are comingG2064 whenG1722G3739 people will sayG2046, ‘BlessedG3107 are theG3588 barrenG4723 women, theG3588 wombsG2836 thatG3739 neverG3756 boreG1080, andG2532 breastsG3149 thatG3739 neverG3756 nursedG5142!’ 30At that timeG5119

31ForG3754 ifG1487 men doG4160 these thingsG3778 while theG3588 treeG3586 is greenG5200, whatG5101 will happenG1096 when it is dryG3584?”

32

TwoG1417 othersG2087, who were criminalsG2557, were also led awayG2532G71 to be executedG337 withG4862 Jesus.

33

WhenG3753 they cameG2064 toG1909 theG3588 placeG5117 calledG2564 The SkullG2898,2 they crucifiedG4717 HimG846 thereG1563, along withG2532 theG3588 criminalsG2557, oneG3739 onG1537 His rightG1188 andG1161 the other onG1537 His leftG710.

34ThenG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036, “FatherG3962, forgiveG863 themG846, forG1063 they do not knowG3756G1492 whatG5101 they are doingG4160.”3 AndG1161 they divided upG1266 HisG846 garmentsG2440 by castingG906 lotsG2819.4

35

TheG3588 peopleG2992 stoodG2476 watchingG2334, andG1161 theG3588 rulersG758 sneered atG1592 Him,5 sayingG3004, “He savedG4982 othersG243; let Him saveG4982 HimselfG1438 ifG1487 He isG1510 theG3588 ChristG5547 of GodG2316, theG3588 ChosenG1588 One.”

36

TheG3588 soldiersG4757 alsoG2532 mockedG1702 HimG846 and came upG4334 to offerG4374 HimG846 sour wineG3690.6 37“IfG1487 YouG4771 areG1510 theG3588 KingG935 of theG3588 JewsG2453,” they saidG3004, “saveG4982 YourselfG4572!”

38

AboveG1909 HimG846 wasG1510 posted an inscriptionG1923:7

THISG3778 IS THEG3588 KINGG935 OF THEG3588 JEWSG2453.

39

OneG1520 of theG3588 criminalsG2557 who hungG2910 there heaped abuse onG987 HimG846. “Are YouG1510G4771 notG3780 theG3588 ChristG5547?” he saidG3004. “SaveG4982 YourselfG4572 andG2532 usG1473!”

40ButG1161 theG3588 otherG2087 one rebukedG611G2008 himG846, sayingG5346, “Do youG4771 not evenG3761 fearG5399 GodG2316, sinceG3754 you areG1510 underG1722 theG3588 sameG846 judgmentG2917? 41WeG1473 are punished justlyG1346, forG1063 we are receivingG618 whatG3739 our actionsG4238 deserveG514. ButG1161 this manG3778 has doneG4238 nothingG3762 wrongG824.” 42ThenG2532 he saidG2036, “JesusG2424, rememberG3403 meG14738 whenG3752 You comeG2064 intoG1519 YourG4771 kingdomG932!”

43AndG2532 Jesus saidG2036 to himG846, “TrulyG281 I tellG3004 youG4771, todayG4594 you will beG1510 withG3326 MeG1473 inG1722 ParadiseG3857.”

44

It was nowG2235G1510 aboutG5616 the sixthG1623 hourG5610, andG2532 darknessG4655 cameG1096 overG1909 allG3650 theG3588 landG1093 untilG2193 the ninthG1766 hourG5610.9 45TheG3588 sunG2246 was darkenedG1587,10 andG1161 theG3588 veilG2665 of theG3588 templeG3485 was tornG4977 down the middleG3319.

46ThenG2532 JesusG2424 called outG5455 in a loud voiceG3173G5456G2036, “FatherG3962, intoG1519 YourG4771 handsG5495 I commitG3908 MyG1473 SpiritG4151.”11 And whenG1161 He had saidG2036 thisG3778, He breathed His lastG1606.

47WhenG1161 theG3588 centurionG1543 sawG3708 whatG3588 had happenedG1096, he gave gloryG1392 to GodG2316, sayingG3004, “SurelyG3689 thisG3778 wasG1510 a righteousG1342 manG444.12” 48AndG2532 when allG3956 theG3588 peopleG3793 who had gatheredG4836 forG1909 thisG3778 spectacleG2335 sawG2334 whatG3588 had happenedG1096, they returnedG5290 home beatingG5180 their breastsG4738. 49ButG1161 allG3956G575 those whoG3588 knewG1110 Jesus, includingG2532 the womenG1135 whoG3588 had followedG4870 HimG846 fromG575 GalileeG1056, stoodG2476 at a distanceG3113 watchingG3708 these thingsG3778.
