Luke 23:27-49

27And followingG190 Him was a largeG4183 crowdG4128 of the peopleG2992, and of womenG1135 whoG3739 were 12mourningG2875 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, ‘3BlessedG3107 are the barrenG4723, and the wombsG2836 that neverG3756 boreG1080, and the breastsG3149 that neverG3756 nursedG5142.’ 30ThenG5119 they will beginG757 to 4sayG3004 to the mountainsG3735, ‘FallG4098 on us,’ and to the hillsG1015, ‘CoverG2572 us.’ 31For ifG1487 they doG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778 5whenG1722 the treeG3586 is greenG5200, whatG5101 will happenG1096 6whenG1722 it is dryG3584?”

327TwoG1417 othersG2087 alsoG2532, who were criminalsG2557, were being ledG71 awayG71 to be putG337 to deathG337 with Him.

338WhenG3753 they cameG2064 to the placeG5117 calledG2564 9The SkullG2898, thereG1563 they crucifiedG4717 Him and the criminalsG2557, oneG3739 on the rightG1188 and the otherG3739 on the leftG710. 3410But JesusG2424 was sayingG3004, “11FatherG3962, forgiveG863 them; for they do not knowG3609 whatG5101 they are doingG4160.” 12And they castG906 lotsG2819, dividingG1266 up His garmentsG2440 amongG1266 themselves. 35And the peopleG2992 stoodG2476 by, lookingG2334 on. And evenG2532 the 13rulersG758 were sneeringG1592 at Him, sayingG3004, “He savedG4982 othersG243; 14let Him saveG4982 HimselfG1438 ifG1487 thisG3778 is the 15ChristG5547 of GodG2316, His ChosenG1588 OneG1588.” 36The soldiersG4757 alsoG2532 mockedG1702 Him, comingG4334 up to Him, 16offeringG4374 Him sourG3690 wineG3690, 37and sayingG3004, “17IfG1487 You are the KingG935 of the JewsG2453, saveG4982 YourselfG4572!” 38NowG1161 there was alsoG2532 an inscriptionG1923 aboveG1909 Him, “18THISG3778 IS THE KINGG935 OF THE JEWSG2453.”

3919OneG1520 of the criminalsG2557 who were hangedG2910 there was 20hurlingG987 abuseG987 at Him, sayingG3004, “Are You not the 21ChristG5547? 22SaveG4982 YourselfG4572 and us!” 40But the otherG2087 answeredG611, and rebukingG2008 him saidG5346, “Do you not evenG3761 fearG5399 GodG2316, sinceG3754 you are underG1722 the sameG846 sentenceG2917 of condemnationG2917? 41And we indeedG3303 are suffering justlyG1346, for we are receivingG618 23whatG3739 we deserveG514 for our deedsG3739G4238; but thisG3778 manG3778 has doneG4238 nothingG3762 wrongG824.” 42And he was sayingG3004, “JesusG2424, rememberG3403 me whenG3752 You comeG2064 24in Your kingdomG932!” 43And He saidG3004 to him, “TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, todayG4594 you shall be with Me in 25ParadiseG3857.”

4426It was nowG2235 aboutG5616 2728the sixthG1623 hourG5610, and darknessG4655 29fellG1096 overG1909 the wholeG3650 landG1093 untilG2193 30the ninthG1729 hourG5610, 4531because the sunG2246 was obscuredG1587; and 32the veilG2665 of the templeG3485 was tornG4977 33in twoG3319. 46And JesusG2424, 34cryingG5455 out with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, saidG3004, “FatherG3962, 35into Your handsG5495 I commitG3908 My spiritG4151.” Having saidG3004 thisG3778, He breathedG1606 His lastG1606. 4736NowG1161 when the centurionG1543 sawG3708 what had happenedG1096, he began 37praisingG1392 GodG2316, sayingG3004, “CertainlyG3689 thisG3778 manG444 was 38innocentG1342.” 48And allG3956 the crowdsG3793 who cameG4836 togetherG4836 for thisG3778 spectacleG2335, when they observedG2334 what had happenedG1096, began to returnG5290, 3940beatingG5180 their breastsG4738. 4941And allG3956 His acquaintancesG1110 and 42the womenG1135 who accompaniedG4870 Him from GalileeG1056 were standingG2476 at a distanceG3113, seeingG3708 theseG3778 thingsG3778.
