Luke 23:1-35

1AndG2532 the wholeG537 multitudeG4128 of themG846 aroseG450, and ledG71 himG846 toG1909 PilateG4091. 2AndG1161 they beganG756 to accuseG2723 himG846, sayingG3004, We foundG2147 thisG5126 fellow pervertingG1294 the nationG1484, andG2532 forbiddingG2967 to giveG1325 tributeG5411 to CaesarG2541, sayingG3004 that he himselfG1438 isG1511 ChristG5547 a KingG935. 3AndG1161 PilateG4091 askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, ArtG1488 thouG4771 the KingG935 of the JewsG2453? AndG1161 he answeredG611 himG846 and saidG5346, ThouG4771 sayestG3004 it . 4ThenG1161 saidG2036 PilateG4091 toG4314 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 to the peopleG3793, I findG2147 noG3762 faultG158 inG1722 thisG5129 manG444. 5AndG1161 they were the more fierceG2001, sayingG3004G3754, He stirreth upG383 the peopleG2992, teachingG1321 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JudaeaG2449, beginningG756 fromG575 GalileeG1056 toG2193 this placeG5602. 6WhenG1161 PilateG4091 heardG191 of GalileeG1056, he askedG1905 whetherG1487 the manG444 wasG2076 a GalilaeanG1057. 7AndG2532 as soon as he knewG1921 thatG3754 he belongedG2076 toG1537 Herod’sG2264 jurisdictionG1849, he sentG375 himG846 toG4314 HerodG2264, whoG5607 himselfG846 wasG5607 alsoG2532 atG1722 JerusalemG2414 atG1722 thatG5025 timeG2250. 8AndG1161 when HerodG2264 sawG1492 JesusG2424, he was exceedingG3029 gladG5463: forG1063 he had beenG2258 forG1537 a long timeG2425, desirousG2309 to seeG1492 himG846, becauseG1223 he had heardG191 many thingsG4183 ofG4012 himG846; andG2532 he hopedG1679 to seeG1492 someG5100 miracleG4592 doneG1096 byG5259 himG846. 9ThenG1161 he questionedG1905 with himG846 inG1722 manyG2425 wordsG3056; butG1161 heG846 answeredG611 himG846 nothingG3762. 10AndG1161 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 scribesG1122 stoodG2476 and vehementlyG2159 accusedG2723 himG846. 11AndG1161 HerodG2264 withG4862 hisG846 soldiersG4753 treatedG1848 himG846 with contemptG1848, andG2532 mockedG1702 him, and arrayedG4016 himG846 in a gorgeousG2986 robeG2066, and sentG375 himG846 againG375 to PilateG4091. 12AndG1161G3739 the sameG1722G846 dayG2250 PilateG4091 andG2532 HerodG2264 were madeG1096 friendsG5384 togetherG3326G5037G240: forG1063 beforeG4391 they wereG5607 atG1722 enmityG2189 betweenG4314 themselvesG1438.

13AndG1161 PilateG4091, when he had called togetherG4779 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 the rulersG758 andG2532 the peopleG2992, 14SaidG2036 toG4314 themG846, Ye have broughtG4374 thisG5129 manG444 to meG3427, asG5613 one that pervertethG654 the peopleG2992: andG2532, beholdG2400, IG1473, having examinedG350 him beforeG1799 youG5216, have foundG2147 noG3762 faultG158 inG1722 thisG5126 manG444 concerning those thingsG3739 of whichG2596 ye accuseG2723 himG846: 15NoG235, nor yetG3761 HerodG2264: forG1063 I sentG375 youG5209 toG4314 himG846; andG2532, loG2400, nothingG3762 worthyG514 of deathG2288 isG2076 doneG4238 to himG846. 16I willG3811 thereforeG3767 chastiseG3811 himG846, and releaseG630 him . 17(ForG1161 of necessityG318 he mustG2192 releaseG630 oneG1520 to themG846 atG2596 the feastG1859.) 18AndG1161 they cried outG349 all at onceG3826, sayingG3004, Away withG142 thisG5126 man, andG1161 releaseG630 to usG2254 BarabbasG912: 19(WhoG3748 forG2258G1223 a certainG5100 seditionG4714 madeG1096 inG1722 the cityG4172, andG2532 for murderG5408, was castG906 intoG1519 prisonG5438.) 20PilateG4091 thereforeG3767, willingG2309 to releaseG630 JesusG2424, spokeG4377 againG3825 to themG4377. 21ButG1161 they criedG2019, sayingG3004, CrucifyG4717 him, crucifyG4717 himG846. 22AndG1161 he saidG2036 toG4314 themG846 the third timeG5154, WhyG1063, whatG5101 evilG2556 hathG4160 heG3778 doneG4160? I have foundG2147 noG3762 causeG158 of deathG2288 inG1722 himG846: I willG3811 thereforeG3767 chastiseG3811 himG846, and let him goG630. 23AndG1161 they were insistentG1945 with loudG3173 voicesG5456, requiringG154 that heG846 might be crucifiedG4717. AndG2532 the voicesG5456 of themG846 andG2532 of the chief priestsG749 prevailedG2729. 24AndG1161 PilateG4091 gave sentenceG1948 that it should be asG1096 theyG846 requiredG155.1 25AndG1161 he releasedG630 to themG846 him that forG1223 seditionG4714 andG2532 murderG5408 had been castG906 intoG1519 prisonG5438, whomG3739 they had desiredG154; butG1161 he deliveredG3860 JesusG2424 to theirG846 willG2307.

26AndG2532 asG5613 they ledG520 himG846 awayG520, they laid hold uponG1949 oneG5100 SimonG4613, a CyrenianG2956, comingG2064 out ofG575 the countryG68, and onG2007 himG846 they laidG2007 the crossG4716, that he might bearG5342 it afterG3693 JesusG2424. 27AndG1161 there followedG190 himG846 a greatG4183 companyG4128 of peopleG2992, andG2532 of womenG1135, whoG3739 alsoG2532 bewailedG2875 andG2532 lamentedG2354 himG846. 28ButG1161 JesusG2424 turningG4762 toG4314 themG846 saidG2036, DaughtersG2364 of JerusalemG2419, weepG2799 notG3361 forG1909 meG1691, butG4133 weepG2799 forG1909 yourselvesG1438, andG2532 forG1909 yourG5216 childrenG5043. 29ForG3754, beholdG2400, the daysG2250 are comingG2064, inG1722 whichG3739 they shall sayG2046, BlessedG3107 are the barrenG4723, andG2532 the wombsG2836 thatG3739 neverG3756 boreG1080, andG2532 the breastsG3149 whichG3739 neverG3756 nursedG2337. 30ThenG5119 shall they beginG756 to sayG3004 to the mountainsG3735, FallG4098 onG1909 usG2248; andG2532 to the hillsG1015, CoverG2572 usG2248. 31ForG3754 ifG1487 they doG4160 these thingsG5023 inG1722 a greenG5200 treeG3586, whatG5101 shall be doneG1096 inG1722 the dryG3584?

32AndG1161 twoG1417 othersG2087G2532, who were malefactorsG2557, were ledG71 withG4862 himG846 to be put to deathG337. 33AndG2532 whenG3753 they had comeG565 toG1909 the placeG5117, whichG3588 is calledG2564 CalvaryG2898, thereG1563 they crucifiedG4717 himG846, andG2532 the malefactorsG2557, oneG3739G3303 onG1537 the right handG1188, andG1161 the otherG3739 onG1537 the leftG710.2 34ThenG1161 saidG3004 JesusG2424, FatherG3962, forgiveG863 themG846; forG1063 they knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 they doG4160. AndG1161 they partedG1266 hisG846 raimentG2440, and castG906 lotsG2819. 35AndG2532 the peopleG2992 stoodG2476 beholdingG2334. AndG1161 the rulersG758 alsoG2532 withG4862 themG846 mockedG1592 him, sayingG3004, He savedG4982 othersG243; let him saveG4982 himselfG1438, ifG1487 heG3778 isG2076 ChristG5547, the chosenG1588 of GodG2316.
