Luke 23:1-25

1AndG2532 the wholeG537 multitudeG3588G4128 of themG846 aroseG450, and ledG71 himG846 untoG1909 PilateG3588G4091. 2AndG1161 they beganG756 to accuseG2723 himG846, sayingG3004, We foundG2147 thisG3778 fellow pervertingG1294 the nationG3588G1484, andG2532 forbiddingG2967 to giveG1325 tributeG5411 to CæsarG2541, sayingG3004 that he himselfG1438 isG1510 ChristG5547 a KingG935. 3AndG1161 PilateG4091 askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, ArtG1510 thouG4771 the KingG3588G935 of the JewsG2453? AndG1161 he answeredG611 himG846 and saidG5346, ThouG4771 sayestG3004 it. 4ThenG1161 saidG3004 PilateG4091 toG4314 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 to the peopleG3588G3793, I findG2147 noG3762 faultG159 inG1722 thisG3778 manG3588G444. 5AndG1161 they were the more fierceG2001, sayingG3004, He stirreth upG383 the peopleG3588G2992, teachingG1321 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JewryG3588G2449, beginningG756 fromG575 GalileeG3588G1056 toG2193 this placeG5602. 6WhenG1161 PilateG4091 heardG191 of GalileeG1056, he askedG1905 whetherG1487 the manG3588G444 wereG1510 a GalilæanG1057. 7AndG2532 as soon as he knewG1921 thatG3754 he belongedG1510 untoG1537 Herod’sG2264 jurisdictionG3588G1849, he sentG375 himG846 toG4314 HerodG2264, who himselfG846 alsoG2532 wasG1510 atG1722 JerusalemG2414 atG1722 thatG3778 timeG3588G2250. 8

And whenG1161 HerodG2264 sawG3708 JesusG3588G2424, he wasG5463 exceedingG3029 gladG5463: forG1063 he wasG1510 desirousG2309 to seeG3708 himG846 ofG1537 a longG2425 season, becauseG1223 he had heardG191 many thingsG4183 ofG4012 himG846; andG2532 he hopedG1679 to have seenG3708 someG5100 miracleG4592 doneG1096 byG5259 himG846. 9ThenG1161 heG846 questionedG1905 with himG846 inG1722 manyG2425 wordsG3056; butG1161 he answeredG611 himG846 nothingG3762. 10AndG1161 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 scribesG3588G1122 stoodG2476 andG2723 vehementlyG2159 accusedG2723 himG846. 11AndG1161 HerodG3588G2264 withG4862 hisG846 men of warG3588G4753 setG1848 himG846 at noughtG1848, andG2532 mockedG1702 him, and arrayedG4016 himG846 in a gorgeousG2986 robeG2066, and sentG375 himG846 againG375 to PilateG3588G4091.

12AndG1161 the sameG846 dayG3588G2250 PilateG3588G4091 andG2532 HerodG3588G2264 were madeG1096 friendsG5384 togetherG3326G240: forG1063 beforeG4391 they wereG1510 atG1722 enmityG2189 betweenG4314 themselvesG1438.

13AndG1161 PilateG4091, when he had called togetherG4779 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 the rulersG3588G758 andG2532 the peopleG3588G2992, 14SaidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, Ye have broughtG4374 thisG3778 manG3588G444 unto meG1473, asG5613 one that pervertethG654 the peopleG3588G2992: andG2532, beholdG3708, IG1473, having examinedG350 him beforeG1799 youG4771, have foundG2147 noG3762 faultG159 inG1722 thisG3778 manG3588G444 touching those things whereofG3739 ye accuseG2723 himG846: 15NoG235, nor yetG3761 HerodG2264: forG1063 I sentG375 youG4771 toG4314 himG846; andG2532, loG3708, nothingG3762 worthyG514 of deathG2288 isG1510 doneG4238 unto himG846. 16I willG3811 thereforeG3767 chastiseG3811 himG846, and releaseG630 him. 17(ForG1161 of necessityG318 he mustG2192 releaseG630 oneG1520 unto themG846 atG2596 the feastG1859.) 18AndG1161 they cried outG349 all at onceG3826, sayingG3004, Away withG142 thisG3778 man, andG1161 releaseG630 unto usG1473 BarabbasG3588G912: 19(WhoG3748 forG1223 a certainG5100 seditionG4714 madeG1096 inG1722 the cityG3588G4172, andG2532 for murderG5408, was castG906 intoG1519 prisonG5438.) 20PilateG3588G4091 thereforeG3767, willingG2309 to releaseG630 JesusG3588G2424, spakeG4377 again to themG3825. 21ButG1161 they criedG2019, sayingG3004, CrucifyG4717 him, crucifyG4717 himG846. 22AndG1161 he saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846 the third timeG5154, WhyG5101, whatG1063 evilG2556 hathG4160 heG3778 doneG4160? I have foundG2147 noG3762 causeG159 of deathG2288 inG1722 himG846: I willG3811 thereforeG3767 chastiseG3811 himG846, and letG630 him goG630. 23AndG1161 they were instantG1945 with loudG3173 voicesG5456, requiringG154 thatG4717 heG846 might be crucifiedG4717. AndG2532 the voicesG3588G5456 of themG846 andG2532 of the chief priestsG3588G749 prevailedG2729. 24AndG1161 PilateG4091 gave sentenceG1948 that it should beG1096 as theyG846 requiredG3588G155. 25AndG1161 he releasedG630 unto themG846 him thatG3588 forG1223 seditionG4714 andG2532 murderG5408 was castG906 intoG1519 prisonG3588G5438, whomG3739 they had desiredG154; butG1161 he deliveredG3860 JesusG2424 to theirG846 willG3588G2307.
