LUK-23:1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto
Pilate.
LUK-23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this
[fellow] perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute
to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
LUK-23:3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the
Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest [it].
LUK-23:4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and [to] the
people, I find no fault in this man.
LUK-23:5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up
the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from
Galilee to this place.
LUK-23:6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man
were a Galilaean.
LUK-23:7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's
jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at
Jerusalem at that time.
LUK-23:8 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.
LUK-23:9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he
answered him nothing.
LUK-23:10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently
accused him.
LUK-23:11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and
mocked [him], and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him
again to Pilate.
LUK-23:12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends
together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
LUK-23:13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief
priests and the rulers and the people,
LUK-23:14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as
one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined
[him] before you, have found no fault in this man touching those
things whereof ye accuse him:
LUK-23:15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo,
nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
LUK-23:16 I will therefore chastise him, and release [him].
LUK-23:17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the
feast.)
LUK-23:18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this
[man], and release unto us Barabbas:
LUK-23:19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for
murder, was cast into prison.)
LUK-23:20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake
again to them.
LUK-23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify [him], crucify him.
LUK-23:22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil
hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will
therefore chastise him, and let [him] go.
LUK-23:23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that
he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief
priests prevailed.
LUK-23:24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they
required.
LUK-23:25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and
murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he
delivered Jesus to their will.
LUK-23:26 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.
LUK-23:27 And there followed him a great company of people, and
of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
LUK-23:28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of
Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for
your children.
LUK-23:29 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.
LUK-23:30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on
us; and to the hills, Cover us.
LUK-23:31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what
shall be done in the dry?
LUK-23:32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with
him to be put to death.
LUK-23:33 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.
LUK-23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know
not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
LUK-23:35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also
with them derided [him], saying, He saved others; let him save
himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
LUK-23:36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and
offering him vinegar,
LUK-23:37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save
thyself.
LUK-23:38 And a superscription also was written over him in
letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE
JEWS.
LUK-23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on
him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
LUK-23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not
thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
LUK-23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of
our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
LUK-23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou
comest into thy kingdom.
LUK-23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To
day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
LUK-23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a
darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
LUK-23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple
was rent in the midst.
LUK-23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said,
Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus,
he gave up the ghost.
LUK-23:47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified
God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
LUK-23:48 And all the people that came together to that sight,
beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and
returned.
LUK-23:49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed
him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
LUK-23:50 And, behold, [there was] a man named Joseph, a
counsellor; [and he was] a good man, and a just:
LUK-23:51 (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.
LUK-23:52 This [man] went unto Pilate, and begged the body of
Jesus.
LUK-23:53 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.
LUK-23:54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew
on.
LUK-23:55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee,
followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was
laid.
LUK-23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments;
and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
