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,
To day 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.
