Luke
Luke 23
| 1 |
And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
|
| 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. |
| 3 |
And Pilate asked him, saying,
Art thou the King of the Jews?And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. |
| 4 |
Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people,
I find no fault in this man. |
| 5 |
And they were the more fierce, saying,
He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. |
| 6 |
When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 9 |
Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
|
| 10 |
And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
|
| 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.
|
| 12 |
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
|
| 13 |
And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
|
| 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: |
| 15 |
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. |
| 16 |
I will therefore chastise him, and release him. |
| 17 |
(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
|
| 18 |
And they cried out all at once, saying,
Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: |
| 19 |
(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
|
| 20 |
Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
|
| 21 |
But they cried, saying,
Crucify him, crucify him. |
| 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. |
| 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.
|
| 24 |
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 27 |
And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
|
| 28 |
But Jesus turning unto them said,
Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. |
| 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. |
| 30 |
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. |
| 31 |
For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? |
| 32 |
And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
|
| 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.
|
| 34 |
Then said Jesus,
Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. |
| 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. |
| 36 |
And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
|
| 37 |
And saying,
If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. |
| 38 |
And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew,
This Is The King Of The Jews. |
| 39 |
And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying,
If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. |
| 40 |
But the other answering rebuked him, saying,
Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? |
| 41 |
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. |
| 42 |
And he said unto Jesus,
Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. |
| 43 |
And Jesus said unto him,
Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. |
| 44 |
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
|
| 45 |
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
|
| 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. |
| 47 |
Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying,
Certainly this was a righteous man. |
| 48 |
And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
|
| 49 |
And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
|
| 50 |
And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:
|
| 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.
|
| 52 |
This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
|
| 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.
|
| 54 |
And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
|
| 55 |
And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
|
| 56 |
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
