Luke 23:13-38
13NowG1161 PilateG4091 summonedG4779 to himself the chiefG749 priestsG749, the 12rulersG758, and the peopleG2992, 14and he saidG3004 to them, “You broughtG4374 thisG3778 ManG444 to me onG5613 theG5613 groundG5613 thatG5613 3He is incitingG654 the peopleG2992 to revoltG654; and beholdG2400, after examiningG350 Him beforeG1799 you, I 4have foundG2147 noG3762 basisG159 atG3762 allG3762 in the case of thisG3778 ManG444 for the chargesG2723 whichG3739 you are bringingG2723 againstG2596 Him. 15NoG235, norG3761 has 5HerodG2264, for he sentG375 Him backG375 to us; and beholdG2400, nothingG3762 deservingG514 deathG2288 has beenG1510 doneG4238 by Him. 16ThereforeG3767 I will 67punishG3811 Him and releaseG630 Him.” 17[8NowG1161 he was obligatedG2192G318 to releaseG630 to them at the feastG1859 oneG1520 prisoner.]
18But they criedG349 outG349 allG3826 togetherG3826, sayingG3004, “9AwayG142 with thisG3778 ManG3778, and releaseG630 to us BarabbasG912!” 19(He was oneG3748 whoG3748 had been thrownG906 into prisonG5438 for a revoltG4714 that tookG1096 placeG1096 in the cityG4172, and for murderG5408.) 20But PilateG4091, wantingG2309 to releaseG630 JesusG2424, addressedG4377 them againG3825, 21but they kept on cryingG2019 outG2019, sayingG3004, “CrucifyG4717, crucifyG4717 Him!” 22And he saidG3004 to them a thirdG5154 timeG5154, “WhyG1063, whatG5101 has thisG3778 ManG3778 doneG4160 wrongG2556? I have foundG2147 10in His case noG3762 groundsG159 for a sentence of deathG2288; thereforeG3767 I will 1112punishG3811 Him and releaseG630 Him.” 23But they were insistentG1945, with loudG3173 voicesG5456, demandingG154 that He be crucifiedG4717. And their voicesG5456 began to prevailG2729. 24And so PilateG4091 decidedG1948 to have their demandG155 carriedG1096 outG1096. 25And he releasedG630 the manG3588 for whomG3739 they were askingG154, who had been thrownG906 into prisonG5438 for a revoltG4714 and murderG5408; but he handedG3860 JesusG2424 overG3860 to their willG2307.
2613And whenG5613 they ledG520 Him awayG520, they seizedG1949 a manG5100, SimonG4613 ofG2956 14CyreneG2956, as he was comingG2064 in from the countryG68, and placedG2007 onG2007 him the crossG4716 to carryG5342 behindG3693 JesusG2424.
27NowG1161 followingG190 Him was a largeG4183 crowdG4128 of the peopleG2992, and of womenG1135 whoG3739 were 1516mourningG2875 and grievingG2354 for Him. 28But JesusG2424 turnedG4762 to them and saidG3004, “DaughtersG2364 of JerusalemG2419, stopG3361 weepingG2799 for Me, but weepG2799 for yourselvesG1438 and for your childrenG5043. 29For beholdG2400, daysG2250 are comingG2064 whenG1722G3739 they will sayG3004, ‘17BlessedG3107 are thoseG3588 who cannotG4723 bearG4723, and the wombsG2836 that have not givenG1080 birthG1080, and the breastsG3149 that have not nursedG5142.’ 30ThenG5119 they will beginG757 to 18sayG3004 to the mountainsG3735, ‘FallG4098 on us,’ and to the hillsG1015, ‘CoverG2572 us.’ 31For ifG1487 they doG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778 19whenG1722 the treeG3586 is greenG5200, whatG5101 will happenG1096 20whenG1722 it is dryG3584?”
3221NowG1161 twoG1417 othersG2087, who were criminalsG2557, were alsoG2532 being ledG71 awayG71 to be putG337 toG337 deathG337 with Him.
3322And whenG3753 they cameG2064 to the placeG5117 calledG2564 23The SkullG2898, thereG1563 they crucifiedG4717 Him and the criminalsG2557, oneG3739 on the rightG1188 and the otherG3739 on the leftG710. 34[24But JesusG2424 was sayingG3004, “25FatherG3962, forgiveG863 them; for they do not knowG3609 whatG5101 they are doingG4160.”] 26And they castG906 lotsG2819, dividingG1266 His garmentsG2440 amongG1266 themselves. 35And the peopleG2992 stoodG2476 by, watchingG2334. And evenG2532 the 27rulersG758 were sneeringG1592 at Him, sayingG3004, “He savedG4982 othersG243; 28let Him saveG4982 HimselfG1438 ifG1487 thisG3778 is the 29ChristG5547 of GodG2316, His ChosenG1588 OneG1588.” 36The soldiersG4757 alsoG2532 ridiculedG1702 Him, comingG4334 upG4334 to Him, 30offeringG4374 Him sourG3690 wineG3690, 37and sayingG3004, “31IfG1487 You are the KingG935 of the JewsG2453, saveG4982 YourselfG4572!” 38NowG1161 there was alsoG2532 an inscriptionG1923 aboveG1909 Him, “32THISG3778 IS THE KINGG935 OF THE JEWSG2453.”
