Luke 23

JuliaSmith^{(i) 1} And all the multitude of them having risen, brought him to Pilate. ² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a King. ³ And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou King of the Jews? And he having answered, said to him, Thou sayest. ⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, I find nothing blameworthy in this man. ⁵ And they were strong, saying, That he stirs up the people, teaching through the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee to here. ⁶ And Pilate having heard of Galilee, asked if the man is a Galilean. ⁷ And having known that he is from Herod's authority, he sent him to Herod, he being in Jerusalem in those days. ⁸ And Herod having seen Jesus, rejoiced greatly: for he was wishing a long while since to see him, for hearing many things of him: and he hoped to see some sign done by him. ⁹ And he asked him in fitting words: and he answered him nothing. ¹⁰ And the chief priests and scribes stood zealously accusing him. ¹¹ And Herod having set him at nought with his troops, and having mocked, putting about him shining clothing, sent him out to Pilate. ¹² And also Pilate and Herod were friends in that day with one another: for they were before being in enmity with each other. ¹³ And Pilate having called together the chief priests and rulers and people, ¹⁴ Said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as perverting the people: and, behold, I having examined him before you, have found nothing blameworthy in this man, of what things ye bring an accusation against him: ¹⁵ But neither Herod: for I sent you forth to him; and, behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him. ¹⁶ Therefore, having chastised him, I will release. ¹⁷ (And he had necessity to loose one at the festival.) ¹⁸ And they cried out with the entire multitude, saying, Take this away, and loose to us Barabbas: ¹⁹ (Who was for a certain sedition having been in the city, and slaughter, cast into prison.) ²⁰ Again Pilate called, wishing to loose Jesus. ²¹ And they exclaimed, saying, Crucify, crucify him. ²² And he said to them the third time, For what evil has he done I have found no cause of death in him: therefore, having corrected him, I will loose. ²³ And they were urgent with great voices, asking for him to be crucified. And their voices and the chief priests' overcame. ²⁴ And Pilate sanctioned their asking to be done. ²⁵ And he loosed to them him cast into prison for sedition, and slaughter, which they demanded; and delivered Jesus to their will. ²⁶ And as they led him away, seizing upon Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they laid the cross upon him, to carry after Jesus. ²⁷ And a great multitude of people followed him, and of women, and who were lamenting bitterly, and bewailing him. ²⁸ And having turned towards them Jesus said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. ²⁹ For, behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and the wombs which never brought forth, and the breasts which gave not suck. ³⁰ Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us. ³¹ For if they do these in the moist tree, what should be in the dry ³² And two others who were led, evil doers, to be lifted up with him. ³³ And when they came to the place called Kranium, there they crucified him, and the evil doers, truly one from the right, and one from the left. ³⁴ And Jesus said, Father, let them go; for they know not what they do. And having divided his garments, they cast lots. ³⁵ And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also who with them were deriding, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he is Christ, the chosen of God. ³⁶ And the soldiers also mocked him, approaching, and bringing him vinegar. ³⁷ And saying, If thou art king of the Jews, save thyself. ³⁸ And there was also an inscription written upon him, in letters Greek, Roman, and Hebrew; THIS IS KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁹ And one of the evil doers hanged, blasphemed him, saying, If thou art Christ, save thyself and us. ⁴⁰ And the other having answered, censured him, saying, Shouldest thou not fear God, for thou art in the same judgment? ⁴¹ And truly we justly; for we receive things worthy of what we have done: and this has done nothing out of place. ⁴² And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou shouldest come into thy kingdom. ⁴³ And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, This day shalt thou be with me in paradise. ⁴⁴ And it was about the sixth hour, and darkness was upon all the earth till the ninth hour. ⁴⁵ And the sun was darkened, and the covering of the temple was split in the middle. ⁴⁶ And Jesus having cried with a great voice, said, Father, into thy hands will I commit my spirit: and having said these, he expired. ⁴⁷ And the centurion having seen that having been done, honoured God, saying, Surely this man was just. ⁴⁸ And all the crowds having been to this viewing, seeing the things done, striking their breasts, returned. ⁴⁹ And all his acquaintance stood afar off, and the women having followed him together from Galilee, seeing these. ⁵⁰ And, behold, a man Joseph by name, being a counsellor; good and just: ⁵¹ (The same was not set together in the counsel and deed of them;) from Arimathea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. ⁵² The same having come to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus. ⁵³ And having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and put it in a tomb cut in stone, where none was ever laid. ⁵⁴ And the day was the preparation, and the sabbath shone forth. ⁵⁵ And the women having followed, which had come to him out of Galilee, saw the tomb, and how his body was laid. ⁵⁶ And having returned, they prepared spices and perfumed oils; and truly the sabbath were they at rest according to the command.
