Luke 23:1-35

1And the whole multitudeG4128 of them, risingG450 up, ledG71 him to PilateG4091.

2And they beganG757 to accuseG2723 him, sayingG3004, We have foundG2147 this [manG3778] perverting our nationG1484, and forbiddingG2967 to giveG1325 tribute to CaesarG2541, sayingG3004 that he himself isG1510 ChristG5547, a kingG935.

3And PilateG4091 demanded of him sayingG3004, Art thou the kingG935 of the JewsG2453? And he answeringG611 him saidG3004, Thou sayest.

4And PilateG4091 saidG3004 to the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the crowdsG3793, I findG2147 no guilt in this manG444.

5But they insisted, sayingG3004, He stirs up the peopleG2992, teachingG1321 throughout all Judaea, beginningG757 from GalileeG1056 evenG2532 on to hereG5602.

6But PilateG4091, having heardG191 Galilee [named], demanded if the manG444 wereG1510 a Galilaean;

7and having learned that he wasG1510 of Herod's jurisdiction, remitted him to HerodG2264, who himself alsoG2532 wasG1510 at JerusalemG2414 in those daysG2250.

8And when HerodG2264 sawG3708 JesusG2424 he greatlyG3029 rejoicedG5463, for he had beenG1510 a long while desirous of seeingG3708 him, because of hearingG191 manyG2425 things concerningG4012 him, and he hopedG1679 to seeG3708 some signG4592 done by him;

9and he questionedG1905 him in manyG2425 wordsG3056, but he answeredG611 him nothing.

10And the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the scribesG1122 stoodG2476 and accusedG2723 him violently.

11And HerodG2264 with his troopsG4753 having set him at nought and mockedG1702 him, having put a splendidG2986 robe upon him, sent him backG375 to PilateG4091.

12And PilateG4091 and HerodG2264 becameG1096 friendsG5384 with oneG240 another the sameG846 dayG2250, for they had beenG1510 at enmity before between themselves.

13And PilateG4091, having calledG4779 togetherG4779 the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the rulersG758 and the peopleG2992,

14saidG3004 to them, Ye have broughtG4374 to me this manG444 as turningG654 awayG654 the peopleG2992 [to rebellion], and beholdG2400, I, having examined him before you, have foundG2147 nothing criminal in this manG444 as to the thingsG3778 of which ye accuseG2723 him;

15nor HerodG2264 either, for I remitted you to him, and beholdG2400, nothing worthyG514 of deathG2288 isG1510 done by him.

16Having chastised him thereforeG3767, I will releaseG630 him.

17(Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.)

18But they cried out in a mass sayingG3004, AwayG142 with this [manG3778] and releaseG630 BarabbasG912 to us;

19who wasG1510 oneG5100 who, for a certainG5100 tumult which had taken placeG1096 in the cityG4172, and [for] murderG5408, had beenG1510 castG906 into prisonG5438.

20PilateG4091 therefore, desirous to releaseG630 JesusG2424, againG3825 addressed [them].

21But they cried out in reply sayingG3004, CrucifyG4717, crucifyG4717 him.

22And he saidG3004 the thirdG5154 timeG5154 to them, What evilG2556 thenG3767 has this [manG3778] done? I have foundG2147 no cause of deathG2288 in him: I will chastise him thereforeG3767 and releaseG630 him.

23But they were urgent with loudG3173 voicesG5456, begging that he might be crucifiedG4717. And their voicesG5456 [and those of the chief priests] prevailed.

24And PilateG4091 adjudged that what they begged should take placeG1096.

25And he releasedG630 him who, for tumult and murderG5408, had been castG906 into prisonG5438, whom they begged for, and JesusG2424 he deliveredG3860 up to their will.

26And as they ledG520 him awayG520, they laidG2007 holdG1949 on a certainG5100 SimonG4613, a Cyrenian, comingG2064 from the fieldG68, and putG2007 the crossG4716 upon him to bearG5342 it behind JesusG2424.

27And a greatG4183 multitudeG4128 of the peopleG2992, and of womenG1135 who wailed and lamented him, followedG190 him.

28And JesusG2424 turningG4762 round to them saidG3004, DaughtersG2364 of JerusalemG2419, do not weepG2799 over me, but weepG2799 over yourselves and over your childrenG5043;

29for beholdG2400, daysG2250 are comingG2064 in which they will sayG3004, Blessed [are] the barrenG4723, and wombsG2836 that have not borne, and breastsG3149 that have not given suck.

30Then shall they beginG757 to sayG3004 to the mountainsG3735, FallG4098 upon us; and to the hills, CoverG2572 us:

31for if these thingsG3778 are done in the green treeG3586, what shall take placeG1096 in the dryG3584?

32NowG1161 twoG1417 othersG2087 alsoG2532, malefactors, were ledG71 with him to be put to death.

33And whenG3753 they cameG2064 to the placeG5117 which is calledG2564 SkullG2898, there they crucifiedG4717 him, and the malefactors, oneG3739 on the rightG1188 handG1188, the other on the left.

34And JesusG2424 saidG3004, FatherG3962, forgiveG863 them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garmentsG2440, they castG906 lotsG2819.

35And the peopleG2992 stoodG2476 beholding, and the rulersG758 alsoG2532 [with them] sneered, sayingG3004, He has savedG4982 othersG243; let him saveG4982 himself if this isG1510 the ChristG5547, the chosen one of 1GodG2316.
