Luke Chapter 23|#11 And the whole crowd of them arose, and led him to Pilate.#22 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he is Christ a King.#23 And Pilate asked him, saying, are you the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, you say it.#24 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.#25 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.|*26 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.#27 And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.#28 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: For he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.#29 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.#210 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.#211 And Herod with his men of war set him at nothing, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.#212 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: For before they were at enmity between themselves.|*213 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,#214 Said to them, you have brought this man to me, as one that perverts the people: And, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things of which you accuse him:#215 No, nor yet Herod: For I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him.#216 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.#217 (For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.)#218 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas:#219 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)#220 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them.#221 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.#222 And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil has he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.#223 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.#224 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.#225 And he released to them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.|+#226 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.|*227 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.#228 But Jesus turning to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.#229 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.#230 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.#231 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?|*232 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.#233 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.#234 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they do. And they parted his garment, and cast lots.|*235 And the people stood seeing. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.#236 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,#237 And saying, If you be the king of the Jews, save yourself.#238 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.|*239 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If you be Christ, save yourself and us.#240 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, do not you fear God, seeing you are in the same condemnation?#241 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: But this man has done nothing amiss.#242 And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when you came into your kingdom.#243 And Jesus said to him, truely I say to you, To day shall you be with me in paradise.|*244 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.#245 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.#246 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit: And having said thus, he gave up the ghost.#247 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.|*248 And all the people that came together to that sight, seeing the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.|+#249 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.#250 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counseller; and he was a good man, and a just:#251 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: Who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.#252 This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.#253 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.#254 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.|*255 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and saw the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.#256 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
