Chapter 23
Luke MKJV 23:1  And rising up, all the multitude of them led Him before Pilate.
Luke MKJV 23:2  And they began to accuse Him, saying, We have found this one perverting the nation and forbidding them to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be a king, Christ.
Luke MKJV 23:3  And Pilate asked Him, saying, Are you the king of the Jews? And He answered him and said, You say it.
Luke MKJV 23:4  And Pilate said to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
Luke MKJV 23:5  And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.
Luke MKJV 23:6  And hearing Galilee, Pilate asked if the man is a Galilean.
Luke MKJV 23:7  And knowing that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time.
Luke MKJV 23:8  And seeing Jesus, Herod greatly rejoiced, for he had desired to see Him for a long time, because he had heard many things about Him. And he hoped to see some miracle done by Him.
Luke MKJV 23:9  And he questioned Him in many words, but He answered him nothing.
Luke MKJV 23:10  And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him.
Luke MKJV 23:11  And humiliating Him with his guardsmen, and mocking Him by putting luxurious clothing around Him, Herod sent Him again to Pilate.
Luke MKJV 23:12  And that same day Pilate and Herod became friends with one another, for before they were at enmity between themselves.
Luke MKJV 23:13  And when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
Luke MKJV 23:14  Pilate said to them, You have brought this Man to me as perverting the people. And behold, having examined Him before you, I have found no fault in this Man regarding those things of which you accuse Him;
Luke MKJV 23:15  no, nor even Herod, for I sent you to him, and lo, nothing worthy of death has been done by Him.
Luke MKJV 23:17  (For it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast.)
Luke MKJV 23:18  And they all cried out at once, saying, Away with this One! And release to us Barabbas
Luke MKJV 23:19  (who was thrown into prison because of a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder).
Luke MKJV 23:20  And Pilate, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them.
Luke MKJV 23:22  And he said to them the third time, Why? What evil has He done? I have found no cause of death in Him, therefore I will chastise Him and let Him go.
Luke MKJV 23:23  But they pressed on him, with loud voices, requesting that He might be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.
Luke MKJV 23:24  And Pilate gave judgment that their request should be granted.
Luke MKJV 23:25  And he released to them the one who had been thrown into prison for sedition and murder, for whom they had asked. But he delivered up Jesus to their will.
Luke MKJV 23:26  And as they led Him away, they laid hold on one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country. And they laid the cross on him, that he might carry it after Jesus.
Luke MKJV 23:27  And a great multitude of people were following Him, and of women who also were bewailing and lamenting Him.
Luke MKJV 23:28  But turning to them, Jesus said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Luke MKJV 23:29  For behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which did not suckle.
Luke MKJV 23:30  And they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! And to the hills, Cover us!
Luke MKJV 23:31  For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
Luke MKJV 23:32  And two others, two criminals, were led with Him to be put to death.
Luke MKJV 23:33  And when they came to the place which is called Calvary, they crucified Him and the criminals there, one on the right, and one on the left.
Luke MKJV 23:34  And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do. And parting His clothing, they cast lots.
Luke MKJV 23:35  And the people stood watching. And also the rulers with them, scoffing, saying, He saved others, let Him save Himself, if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.
Luke MKJV 23:36  And coming near, the soldiers also mocked Him, and offering Him sour wine,
Luke MKJV 23:37  and saying, If You are the king of the Jews, save Yourself.
Luke MKJV 23:38  And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Luke MKJV 23:39  And one of the hanged criminals blasphemed Him, saying, If you are Christ, save Yourself and us.
Luke MKJV 23:40  But answering, the other rebuked him, saying, Do you not fear God, since you are in the same condemnation.
Luke MKJV 23:41  And we indeed justly so, for we receive the due reward of our deeds, but this Man has done nothing amiss.
Luke MKJV 23:42  And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.
Luke MKJV 23:43  And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you shall be with Me in Paradise.
Luke MKJV 23:44  And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
Luke MKJV 23:45  And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in the middle.
Luke MKJV 23:46  And crying with a loud voice, Jesus said, Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit. And when He had said this, He breathed out the spirit.
Luke MKJV 23:47  And when the centurion saw what had been done, he glorified God, saying, Truly this Man was righteous.
Luke MKJV 23:48  And all the crowd arriving together at this sight, beholding the things happening, struck their breasts and returned.
Luke MKJV 23:49  And all those known to Him stood at a distance; and the women, those accompanying Him from Galilee, were seeing these things.
Luke MKJV 23:50  And behold, a man named Joseph, a councillor, a good man and a just one,
Luke MKJV 23:51  this one was not assenting to their counsel and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews; and he also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
Luke MKJV 23:52  This man went to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.
Luke MKJV 23:53  And he took it down and wrapped it in linen. And he laid it in a tomb that had been cut in the stone, in which no man had before been laid.
Luke MKJV 23:54  And that day was the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
Luke MKJV 23:55  And also women were following, who were accompanying Him out of Galilee, who watched the tomb, and how His body was placed.
Luke MKJV 23:56  And they returned and they prepared spices and ointment. And they rested on the sabbath day according to the commandment.
