| The Book of Luke 23 | ||||||||||||||||
| The World English Online Bible (WLD) | ||||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:1 | The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:2 | 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." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:3 | Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "So you say." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:4 | Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, "I find no basis for a charge against this man." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:5 | But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:6 | But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:7 | When he found out that he was in Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem in those days. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:8 | 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:9 | He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:10 | The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:11 | Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:12 | Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:13 | Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:14 | and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:15 | Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:16 | I will therefore chastise him and release him." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:17 | Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:18 | But they all cried out together, saying, "Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!" | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:19 | one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:20 | Pilate spoke to them again, desiring to release Jesus, | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:21 | but they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify him!" | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:22 | 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." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:23 | But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:24 | Pilate adjudged that what they asked for should be done. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:25 | 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:26 | When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it after Jesus. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:27 | A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:28 | But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, don't weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:29 | 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.' | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:30 | Then will they begin to tell the mountains, 'Fall on us!' and to the hills, 'Cover us.' | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:31 | For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?" | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:32 | There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:33 | 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:34 | Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:35 | 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!" | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:36 | The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar, | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:37 | and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!" | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:38 | An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:39 | One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, "If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!" | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:40 | But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Don't you even fear God, seeing you are in the same condemnation? | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:41 | And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:42 | He said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:43 | He said to him, "Most assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:44 | It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:45 | The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:46 | Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" Having said this, he breathed his last. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:47 | When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous man." | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:48 | All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned beating their breasts. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:49 | All his acquaintances, and the women who followed with him from Galilee, stood far away, watching these things. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:50 | Behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:51 | (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for the kingdom of God: | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:52 | this man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:53 | He took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no man had ever yet lain. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:54 | It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was coming on. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:55 | The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid. | |||||||||||||||
| Luke 23:56 | They returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment. | |||||||||||||||
