Luke 23:11-36

11And HerodG2264 with his soldiersG4753, after treatingG1848 Him with contemptG1848 and mockingG1702 Him, 1dressedG4016 Him in a gorgeousG2986 robeG2066 and sentG375 Him backG375 to PilateG4091. 12NowG1161 2HerodG2264 and PilateG4091 becameG1096 friendsG5384 with oneG240 anotherG240 that veryG846 dayG2250; for beforeG4391 they had beenG4391G1510 enemiesG2189 with eachG848 otherG848.

13PilateG4091 summonedG4779 the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the 3rulersG758 and the peopleG2992, 14and saidG3004 to them, “You broughtG4374 thisG3778 manG444 to me as one who 4incitesG654 the peopleG2992 to rebellionG654, and beholdG2400, having examinedG350 Him beforeG1799 you, I 5have foundG2147 noG3762 guiltG159 in thisG3778 manG444 regarding the chargesG2723 whichG3739 you makeG2723 againstG2596 Him. 15NoG235, norG3761 has 6HerodG2264, for he sentG375 Him backG375 to us; and beholdG2400, nothingG3762 deservingG514 deathG2288 has beenG1510 doneG4238 by Him. 16ThereforeG3767 I will 7punishG3811 Him and releaseG630 Him.” 17[8NowG1161 he was obligedG2192G318 to releaseG630 to them at the feastG1859 oneG1520 prisoner.]

18But they criedG349 out allG3826 togetherG3826, sayingG3004, “9AwayG142 with thisG3778 manG3778, and releaseG630 for us BarabbasG912!” 19(He was oneG3748 whoG3748 had been thrownG906 into prisonG5438 for an insurrectionG4714 madeG1096 in the cityG4172, and for murderG5408.) 20PilateG4091, wantingG2309 to releaseG630 JesusG2424, addressedG4377 them againG3825, 21but they kept on callingG2019 out, sayingG3004, “CrucifyG4717, crucifyG4717 Him!” 22And he saidG3004 to them the thirdG5154 timeG5154, “WhyG1063, whatG5101 evilG2556 has thisG3778 manG3778 doneG4160? I have foundG2147 in Him noG3762 guiltG159 demanding deathG2288; thereforeG3767 I will 10punishG3811 Him and releaseG630 Him.” 23But they were insistentG1945, with loudG3173 voicesG5456 askingG154 that He be crucifiedG4717. And their voicesG5456 began to prevailG2729. 24And PilateG4091 pronouncedG1948 sentenceG1948 that their demandG155 be grantedG1096. 25And he releasedG630 the man they were askingG154 for who had been thrownG906 into prisonG5438 for insurrectionG4714 and murderG5408, but he deliveredG3860 JesusG2424 to their willG2307.

2611WhenG5613 they ledG520 Him awayG520, they seizedG1949 a manG5100, SimonG4613 of 12CyreneG2956, comingG2064 in from the countryG68, and placedG2007 on him the crossG4716 to carryG5342 behindG3693 JesusG2424.

27And followingG190 Him was a largeG4183 crowdG4128 of the peopleG2992, and of womenG1135 whoG3739 were 1314mourningG2875 and lamentingG2354 Him. 28But JesusG2424 turningG4762 to them saidG3004, “DaughtersG2364 of JerusalemG2419, stopG3361 weepingG2799 for Me, but weepG2799 for yourselvesG1438 and for your childrenG5043. 29For beholdG2400, the daysG2250 are comingG2064 whenG1722G3739 they will sayG3004, ‘15BlessedG3107 are the barrenG4723, and the wombsG2836 that neverG3756 boreG1080, and the breastsG3149 that neverG3756 nursedG5142.’ 30ThenG5119 they will beginG757 to 16sayG3004 to the mountainsG3735, ‘FallG4098 on us,’ and to the hillsG1015, ‘CoverG2572 us.’ 31For ifG1487 they doG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778 17whenG1722 the treeG3586 is greenG5200, whatG5101 will happenG1096 18whenG1722 it is dryG3584?”

3219TwoG1417 othersG2087 alsoG2532, who were criminalsG2557, were being ledG71 awayG71 to be putG337 to deathG337 with Him.

3320WhenG3753 they cameG2064 to the placeG5117 calledG2564 21The SkullG2898, thereG1563 they crucifiedG4717 Him and the criminalsG2557, oneG3739 on the rightG1188 and the otherG3739 on the leftG710. 3422But JesusG2424 was sayingG3004, “23FatherG3962, forgiveG863 them; for they do not knowG3609 whatG5101 they are doingG4160.” 24And they castG906 lotsG2819, dividingG1266 up His garmentsG2440 amongG1266 themselves. 35And the peopleG2992 stoodG2476 by, lookingG2334 on. And evenG2532 the 25rulersG758 were sneeringG1592 at Him, sayingG3004, “He savedG4982 othersG243; 26let Him saveG4982 HimselfG1438 ifG1487 thisG3778 is the 27ChristG5547 of GodG2316, His ChosenG1588 OneG1588.” 36The soldiersG4757 alsoG2532 mockedG1702 Him, comingG4334 up to Him, 28offeringG4374 Him sourG3690 wineG3690,
