WEB·Luke 23
1The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
KJVAndG2532 the wholeG537 multitudeG4128 of themG846 aroseG450(G5631), and ledG71(G5627) himG846 untoG1909 PilateG4091.
2 They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
KJVAndG1161 they beganG756(G5662) to accuseG2723(G5721) himG846, sayingG3004(G5723), We foundG2147(G5627) thisG5126 fellow pervertingG1294(G5723) the nationG1484, andG2532 forbiddingG2967(G5723) to giveG1325(G5721) tributeG5411 to CaesarG2541, sayingG3004(G5723) that he himselfG1438 isG1511(G5750) ChristG5547 a KingG935.
3 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”
KJVAndG1161 PilateG4091 askedG1905(G5656) himG846, sayingG3004(G5723), ArtG1488(G5748) thouG4771 the KingG935 of the JewsG2453? AndG1161 he answeredG611(G5679) himG846 and saidG5346(G5713), ThouG4771 sayestG3004(G5719) it.
4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”
KJVThenG1161 saidG2036(G5627) PilateG4091 toG4314 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 to the peopleG3793, I findG2147(G5719) noG3762 faultG158 inG1722 thisG5129 manG444.
5 But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
KJVAndG1161 they were the more fierceG2001(G5707), sayingG3004(G5723)G3754, He stirreth upG383(G5719) the peopleG2992, teachingG1321(G5723) throughoutG2596 allG3650 JewryG2449, beginningG756(G5671) fromG575 GalileeG1056 toG2193 this placeG5602.
6 But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
KJVWhenG1161 PilateG4091 heardG191(G5660) of GalileeG1056, he askedG1905(G5656) whetherG1487 the manG444 wereG2076(G5748) a GalilaeanG1057.
7 When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.
KJVAndG2532 as soon as he knewG1921(G5631) thatG3754 he belongedG2076(G5748) untoG1537 Herod'sG2264 jurisdictionG1849, he sentG375(G5656) himG846 toG4314 HerodG2264, whoG5607 himselfG846 alsoG2532 wasG5607(G5752) atG1722 JerusalemG2414 atG1722 thatG5025 timeG2250.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.
KJVAndG1161 when HerodG2264 sawG1492(G5631) JesusG2424, he was exceedingG3029 gladG5463(G5644): forG1063 he wasG2258(G5713) desirousG2309(G5723) to seeG1492(G5629) himG846 ofG1537 a longG2425 season, becauseG1223 he had heardG191(G5721) many thingsG4183 ofG4012 himG846; andG2532 he hopedG1679(G5707) to have seenG1492(G5629) someG5100 miracleG4592 doneG1096(G5740) byG5259 himG846.
9 He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.
KJVThenG1161 he questionedG1905(G5707) with himG846 inG1722 manyG2425 wordsG3056; butG1161 heG846 answeredG611(G5662) himG846 nothingG3762.
10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
KJVAndG1161 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 scribesG1122 stoodG2476(G5715) and vehementlyG2159 accusedG2723(G5723) himG846.
11 Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.
KJVAndG1161 HerodG2264 withG4862 hisG846 men of warG4753 setG1848 himG846 at noughtG1848(G5660), andG2532 mockedG1702(G5660) him, and arrayedG4016(G5631) himG846 in a gorgeousG2986 robeG2066, and sentG375 himG846 againG375(G5656) to PilateG4091.
12 Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.
KJVAndG1161G3739 the sameG1722G846 dayG2250 PilateG4091 andG2532 HerodG2264 were madeG1096(G5633) friendsG5384 togetherG3326G5037G240: forG1063 beforeG4391(G5707) they wereG5607(G5752) atG1722 enmityG2189 betweenG4314 themselvesG1438.
13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
KJVAndG1161 PilateG4091, when he had called togetherG4779(G5671) the chief priestsG749 andG2532 the rulersG758 andG2532 the peopleG2992,
14 and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
KJVSaidG2036(G5627) untoG4314 themG846, Ye have broughtG4374(G5656) thisG5129 manG444 unto meG3427, asG5613 one that pervertethG654(G5723) the peopleG2992: andG2532, beholdG2400(G5628), IG1473, having examinedG350(G5660) him beforeG1799 youG5216, have foundG2147(G5627) noG3762 faultG158 inG1722 thisG5126 manG444 touching those thingsG3739 whereofG2596 ye accuseG2723(G5719) himG846:
15 Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
KJVNoG235, nor yetG3761 HerodG2264: forG1063 I sentG375(G5656) youG5209 toG4314 himG846; andG2532, loG2400(G5628), nothingG3762 worthyG514 of deathG2288 isG2076(G5748) doneG4238(G5772) unto himG846.
16 I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
KJVI willG3811 thereforeG3767 chastiseG3811(G5660) himG846, and releaseG630(G5692) him.
17 Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.
KJV(ForG1161 of necessityG318 he mustG2192(G5707) releaseG630(G5721) oneG1520 unto themG846 atG2596 the feastG1859.)
18 But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
KJVAndG1161 they cried outG349(G5656) all at onceG3826, sayingG3004(G5723), Away withG142(G5720) thisG5126 man, andG1161 releaseG630(G5657) unto usG2254 BarabbasG912:
19 one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
KJV(WhoG3748 forG2258(G5713)G1223 a certainG5100 seditionG4714 madeG1096(G5637) inG1722 the cityG4172, andG2532 for murderG5408, was castG906(G5772) intoG1519 prisonG5438.)
20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,
KJVPilateG4091 thereforeG3767, willingG2309(G5723) to releaseG630(G5658) JesusG2424, spakeG4377 againG3825 to themG4377(G5656).
21 but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
KJVButG1161 they criedG2019(G5707), sayingG3004(G5723), CrucifyG4717(G5657) him, crucifyG4717(G5657) himG846.
22 He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”
KJVAndG1161 he saidG2036(G5627) untoG4314 themG846 the third timeG5154, WhyG1063, whatG5101 evilG2556 hathG4160 heG3778 doneG4160(G5656)? I have foundG2147(G5627) noG3762 causeG158 of deathG2288 inG1722 himG846: I willG3811 thereforeG3767 chastiseG3811(G5660) himG846, and let him goG630(G5692).
23 But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.
KJVAndG1161 they were instantG1945(G5711) with loudG3173 voicesG5456, requiringG154(G5734) that heG846 might be crucifiedG4717(G5683). AndG2532 the voicesG5456 of themG846 andG2532 of the chief priestsG749 prevailedG2729(G5707).
24 Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.
KJVAndG1161 PilateG4091 gave sentenceG1948(G5656) that it should be asG1096(G5635) theyG846 requiredG155.
25 He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.
KJVAndG1161 he releasedG630(G5656) unto themG846 him that forG1223 seditionG4714 andG2532 murderG5408 was castG906(G5772) intoG1519 prisonG5438, whomG3739 they had desiredG154(G5710); butG1161 he deliveredG3860(G5656) JesusG2424 to theirG846 willG2307.
26 When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it after Jesus.
KJVAndG2532 asG5613 they ledG520 himG846 awayG520(G5627), they laid hold uponG1949(G5637) oneG5100 SimonG4613, a CyrenianG2956, comingG2064(G5740) out ofG575 the countryG68, and onG2007 himG846 they laidG2007(G5656) the crossG4716, that he might bearG5342(G5721) it afterG3693 JesusG2424.
27 A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.
KJVAndG1161 there followedG190(G5707) himG846 a greatG4183 companyG4128 of peopleG2992, andG2532 of womenG1135, whichG3739 alsoG2532 bewailedG2875(G5710) andG2532 lamentedG2354(G5707) himG846.
28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
KJVButG1161 JesusG2424 turningG4762(G5651) untoG4314 themG846 saidG2036(G5627), DaughtersG2364 of JerusalemG2419, weepG2799(G5720) notG3361 forG1909 meG1691, butG4133 weepG2799(G5720) forG1909 yourselvesG1438, andG2532 forG1909 yourG5216 childrenG5043.
29 For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
KJVForG3754, beholdG2400(G5628), the daysG2250 are comingG2064(G5736), inG1722 the whichG3739 they shall sayG2046(G5692), BlessedG3107 are the barrenG4723, andG2532 the wombsG2836 thatG3739 neverG3756 bareG1080(G5656), andG2532 the papsG3149 whichG3739 neverG3756 gave suckG2337(G5656).
30 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’
KJVThenG5119 shall they beginG756(G5698) to sayG3004(G5721) to the mountainsG3735, FallG4098(G5628) onG1909 usG2248; andG2532 to the hillsG1015, CoverG2572(G5657) usG2248.
31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”
KJVForG3754 ifG1487 they doG4160(G5719) these thingsG5023 inG1722 a greenG5200 treeG3586, whatG5101 shall be doneG1096(G5638) inG1722 the dryG3584?
32 There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.
KJVAndG1161 there were alsoG2532 twoG1417 otherG2087, malefactorsG2557, ledG71(G5712) withG4862 himG846 to be put to deathG337(G5683).
33 When they came to the place that is called “The Skull”, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
KJVAndG2532 whenG3753 they were comeG565(G5627) toG1909 the placeG5117, whichG3588 is calledG2564(G5746) CalvaryG2898, thereG1563 they crucifiedG4717(G5656) himG846, andG2532 the malefactorsG2557, oneG3739G3303 onG1537 the right handG1188, andG1161 the otherG3739 onG1537 the leftG710.
34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
KJVThenG1161 saidG3004(G5707) JesusG2424, FatherG3962, forgiveG863(G5628) themG846; forG1063 they knowG1492(G5758) notG3756 whatG5101 they doG4160(G5719). AndG1161 they partedG1266(G5734) hisG846 raimentG2440, and castG906(G5627) lotsG2819.
35 The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”
KJVAndG2532 the peopleG2992 stoodG2476(G5715) beholdingG2334(G5723). AndG1161 the rulersG758 alsoG2532 withG4862 themG846 deridedG1592(G5707) him, sayingG3004(G5723), He savedG4982(G5656) othersG243; let him saveG4982(G5657) himselfG1438, ifG1487 heG3778 beG2076(G5748) ChristG5547, the chosenG1588 of GodG2316.
36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,
KJVAndG1161 the soldiersG4757 alsoG2532 mockedG1702(G5707) himG846, comingG4334(G5740) to him, andG2532 offeringG4374(G5723) himG846 vinegarG3690,
37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
KJVAndG2532 sayingG3004(G5723), IfG1487 thouG4771 beG1488(G5748) the kingG935 of the JewsG2453, saveG4982(G5657) thyselfG4572.
38 An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
KJVAndG1161 a superscriptionG1923 alsoG2532 wasG2258(G5713) writtenG1125(G5772) overG1909 himG846 in lettersG1121 of GreekG1673, andG2532 LatinG4513, andG2532 HebrewG1444, THISG3778 ISG2076(G5748) THE KINGG935 OF THE JEWSG2453.
39 One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”
KJVAndG1161 oneG1520 of the malefactorsG2557 which were hangedG2910(G5685) railedG987(G5707) on himG846, sayingG3004(G5723), IfG1487 thouG4771 beG1488(G5748) ChristG5547, saveG4982(G5657) thyselfG4572 andG2532 usG2248.
40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
KJVButG1161 the otherG2087 answeringG611(G5679) rebukedG2008(G5707) himG846, sayingG3004(G5723), DostG5399 notG3761 thouG4771 fearG5399(G5736) GodG2316, seeingG3754 thou artG1488(G5748) inG1722 the sameG846 condemnationG2917?
41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
KJVAndG2532 weG2249 indeedG3303 justlyG1346; forG1063 we receiveG618(G5719) the due rewardG514 of ourG3739 deedsG4238(G5656): butG1161 this manG3778 hath doneG4238(G5656) nothingG3762 amissG824.
42 He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
KJVAndG2532 he saidG3004(G5707) unto JesusG2424, LordG2962, rememberG3415(G5682) meG3450 whenG3752 thou comestG2064(G5632) intoG1722 thyG4675 kingdomG932.
43 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
KJVAndG2532 JesusG2424 saidG2036(G5627) unto himG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004(G5719) unto theeG4671, To dayG4594 shalt thou beG2071(G5704) withG3326 meG1700 inG1722 paradiseG3857.
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
KJVAndG1161 it wasG2258(G5713) aboutG5616 the sixthG1623 hourG5610, andG2532 there wasG1096(G5633) a darknessG4655 overG1909 allG3650 the earthG1093 untilG2193 the ninthG1766 hourG5610.
45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
KJVAndG2532 the sunG2246 was darkenedG4654(G5681), andG2532 the veilG2665 of the templeG3485 was rentG4977(G5681) in the midstG3319.
46 Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.
KJVAndG2532 when JesusG2424 had criedG5455(G5660) with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, he saidG2036(G5627), FatherG3962, intoG1519 thyG4675 handsG5495 I commendG3908(G5695) myG3450 spiritG4151: andG2532 having saidG2036(G5631) thusG5023, he gave up the ghostG1606(G5656).
47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”
KJVNowG1161 when the centurionG1543 sawG1492(G5631) what was doneG1096(G5637), he glorifiedG1392(G5656) GodG2316, sayingG3004(G5723), CertainlyG3689 thisG3778 wasG2258(G5713) a righteousG1342 manG444.
48 All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their chests.
KJVAndG2532 allG3956 the peopleG3793 that came togetherG4836(G5637) toG1909 thatG5026 sightG2335, beholdingG2334(G5723) the things which were doneG1096(G5637), smoteG5180(G5723) theirG1438 breastsG4738, and returnedG5290(G5707).
49 All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.
KJVAndG1161 allG3956 hisG846 acquaintanceG1110, andG2532 the womenG1135 that followedG4870(G5660) himG846 fromG575 GalileeG1056, stoodG2476(G5715) afar offG3113, beholdingG3708(G5723) these thingsG5023.
50 Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
KJVAndG2532, beholdG2400(G5628), there was a manG435 namedG3686 JosephG2501, a counsellorG1010; and he was a goodG5225(G5723)G18 manG435, andG2532 a justG1342:
51 (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.
KJV(The sameG3778 hadG4784 notG3756 consentedG4784(G5768)G2258(G5713) to the counselG1012 andG2532 deedG4234 of themG846;) he was ofG575 ArimathaeaG707, a cityG4172 of the JewsG2453:G2532 whoG3739 alsoG2532 himselfG846 waited forG4327(G5711) the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
52 This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.
KJVThisG3778 man wentG4334(G5631) unto PilateG4091, and beggedG154(G5668) the bodyG4983 of JesusG2424.
53 He took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
KJVAndG2532 he tookG2507 itG846 downG2507(G5631), and wrappedG1794(G5656) itG846 in linenG4616, andG2532 laidG5087(G5656) itG846 inG1722 a sepulchreG3418 that was hewn in stoneG2991, whereinG3757 neverG3756 manG3764 beforeG3762 wasG2258(G5713) laidG2749(G5740).
54 It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.
