Luke 23:17-33 in English

¹⁸ But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:—

¹⁹ one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.

²⁰ And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;

²¹ but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.

²² And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.

²⁴ And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.

²⁵ And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

²⁶ And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.

²⁷ And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who 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 which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that 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 the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

³² And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

³³ And when they came unto the place which is called The skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left.

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.

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.

¹⁹ one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.

²⁰ And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;

²¹ but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.

²² And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.

²⁵ And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

²⁶ And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.

²⁷ And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who 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 which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that 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 the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

³² And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

³³ And when they came unto the place which is called The skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left.

¹⁸ But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us (exc)!”

¹⁹ Barrabas was a man who had tried to persuade people in the city to rebel against the Roman government. While doing that, he had murdered someone. So he had been put {they had put him} in prison, where he was waiting to be executed.

²⁰ Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.

²¹ But they kept shouting, “ Command your soldiers to kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”

²² He spoke to them a third time and asked them, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have concluded that he has done nothing for which he deserves to die. So I will have my soldiers flog him and then release him.”

²³ But they kept insisting. They shouted loudly that Jesus should be nailed {that Pilate should have his soldiers nail Jesus} to a cross. Finally, because they continued to shout PRS so loudly,

²⁴ Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.

²⁵ The man who had been {whom they had} put in prison because he had rebelled against the government and who had murdered someone, he released! That was the man whom the crowd had asked him to release. He handed Jesus over to the soldiers, to do what the crowd wanted.

²⁶ As the soldiers were taking Jesus away, they seized a man named Simon, who was from Cyrene city in Africa. He was returning to Jerusalem from out in the countryside. They took from Jesus the cross that he had been carrying. Then they put it on Simon's shoulders, and told him to carry it behind Jesus.

²⁷ A large crowd followed Jesus. The crowd included many women who were beating their breasts to show how sad they were, and wailing for him.

²⁸ But Jesus turned to them and said, “You women of Jerusalem, do not cry for me! Instead, cry because of what is going to happen to yourselves and your children!

²⁹ I want you to know that there will soon be a time when people will say, ‘Women SYN who have never borne children or nursed babies are fortunate!’

³⁰ Then, in order that they will not have to suffer greatly when their enemies destroy this city, people who are left in the city will say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us!’ And people will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’

³¹ I am innocent MET. I am like a living tree that people do not try to burn. But the people of Jerusalem deserve that their enemies punish them. They are like dry wood that is ready to burn. So if they nail me to the cross, ◄ their enemies will certainly do much worse things to them!/what worse things will happen to them?► RHQ”

³² Two other men who were criminals were also being led away { The soldiers also led away two other men who were criminals}. They were going to be executed { The soldiers were going to execute them} with Jesus.

³³ When they came to the place which is called ❛The Skull❜, they nailed Jesus to a cross after removing his clothes. They did the same thing to the two criminals. They crucified one at the right side of Jesus and one at his left side.

¹⁷ Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—

¹⁹ one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.

²⁰ Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,

²¹ but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”

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.”

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

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.

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.

²⁷ A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.

²⁸ But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

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.’

³⁰ Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’

³¹ For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”

³² There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.

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.

¹⁷ Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—

¹⁹ one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.

²⁰ Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,

²¹ but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”

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.”

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

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.

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.

²⁷ A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.

²⁸ But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

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.’

³⁰ Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’

³¹ For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”

³² There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.

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.

¹⁷ Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—

¹⁹ one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.

²⁰ Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,

²¹ but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”

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.”

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

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.

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.

²⁷ A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.

²⁸ But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

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.’

³⁰ Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’

³¹ For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”

³² There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.

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.

¹⁸ But with loud voices they said all together, Put this man to death, and make Barabbas free.

¹⁹ Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life.

²⁰ And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free.

²¹ But crying out they said, To the cross with him!

²² And he said to them a third time, Why, what evil has he done? I see no reason for putting him to death: I will give him punishment and let him go.

²³ But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.

²⁴ And Pilate gave his decision for their desire to be put into effect.

²⁵ And in answer to their request, he let that man go free who had been in prison for acting against the government and causing death, and Jesus he gave up to their pleasure.

²⁶ And while they were taking him away, they put their hands on Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and made him take the cross after Jesus.

²⁷ And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him.

²⁸ But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.

²⁹ For the days are coming in which they will say, Happy are those who have had no children, whose bodies have never given birth, whose breasts have never given milk.

³⁰ And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.

³¹ For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will they do when it is dry?

³² And two others, evil-doers, were taken with him to be put to death.

³³ And when they came to the place which is named Golgotha, they put him on the cross, and the evil-doers, one on the right side, and the other on the left.

¹⁷ (Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.)

¹⁸ But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this man and release Barabbas to us;

¹⁹ who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison.

²⁰ Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed them.

²¹ But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.

²² And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ And Pilate adjudged that what they begged should take place.

²⁵ And he released him who, for tumult and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they begged for, and Jesus he delivered up to their will.

²⁶ And as they led him away, they laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, and put the cross upon him to bear it behind Jesus.

²⁷ And a great multitude of the people, and of women who wailed and lamented him, followed him.

²⁸ And Jesus turning round to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me, but weep over yourselves and over your children;

²⁹ for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck.

³⁰ Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us:

³¹ for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?

³² Now two others also, malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.

³³ And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.

¹⁷ Now of necessity he was to release unto them one upon the feast day.

¹⁸ But the whole multitude together cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

¹⁹ Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for a murder, was cast into prison.

²⁰ And Pilate again spoke to them, desiring to release Jesus.

²¹ But they cried again, saying: Crucify him, crucify him.

²² And he said to them the third time: Why, what evil hath this man done? I find no cause of death in him. I will chastise him therefore, and let him go.

²³ But they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified; and their voices prevailed.

²⁴ And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

²⁵ And he released unto them him who for murder and sedition, had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

²⁶ And as they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country; and they laid the cross on him to carry after Jesus.

²⁷ And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, who bewailed and lamented him.

²⁸ But Jesus turning to them, said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

²⁹ For behold, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the paps that have not given suck.

³⁰ Then shall they begin to say to the mountains: Fall upon us; and to the hills: Cover us.

³¹ For if in the green wood they do these things, 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, they crucified him there; and the robbers, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

¹⁷ (For it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast.)

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas”—

¹⁹ who because of a certain insurrection having occurred in the city had been thrown into prison, and for murder.

²⁰ Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them.

²¹ But they cried out, saying, “Crucify, crucify Him!”

²² Then he said to them the third time, “Why, what evil has He done? I have found no guilt deserving death in Him. Therefore when I have flogged Him, I will release Him.”

²³ But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ So Pilate decided that their request should be carried out.

²⁵ And he released whom they were requesting, who because of insurrection and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

²⁶ And as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, as he was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might carry it behind Jesus.

²⁷ And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also were mourning and lamenting Him.

²⁸ But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

²⁹ For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs which did not give birth, and breasts which did not nurse!’

³⁰ Then they will begin ‘to say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’

³¹ For if they do these things in the green tree, what will happen in the dry?”

³² And they also were leading two others with Him, evildoers, to be put to death.

³³ And when they came to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him and the evildoers, one on the right, and one on the left.

¹⁷ (It was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast.)

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying: “Away with this one! Release to us Barabbas!”—

¹⁹ who had been thrown into prison for a certain insurrection in the city, and for murder.

²⁰ Then Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again.

²¹ But they just kept shouting: “Crucify! Crucify him!”

²² For the third time he said to them: “But what evil has this man done? I have found no reason for death in him. I will therefore flog and release him.”

²³ But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified! And their voices, especially of the chief priests, prevailed.

²⁴ So Pilate decided to grant their demand.

²⁵ He released the one who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

²⁶ Now as they led Him away, they conscripted a certain Simon of Cyrene (coming in from a field), and put the cross on him to carry it behind Jesus.

²⁷ A considerable crowd of people followed Him, including women who were also mourning and lamenting Him.

²⁸ So Jesus turned to them and said: “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; rather weep for yourselves and for your children.

²⁹ Because indeed, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, even the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’

³⁰ Then they will begin ‘to say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’

³¹ For if they do these things in the ‘green tree’, what will happen in the ‘dry’?”

³² There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death.

³³ When they arrived at the place called ‘The Skull’, they crucified Him there; also the criminals, one on His right, the other on His left.

¹⁸ But they all shouted together, “Kill this man, and release Barabbas to us.”

¹⁹ (Barabbas had been put in prison for taking part in a rebellion in the city, and for murder.)

²⁰ Pilate wanted to release Jesus, so spoke to them again.

²¹ But they kept on shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”

²² Pilate asked them for the third time, “But why? What crime has he committed? I don't find any reason for executing him. So I will have him flogged and then release him.”

²³ But they continued insisting with loud shouts, demanding that he be crucified. Their shouting succeeded,

²⁴ and Pilate gave the sentence they demanded.

²⁵ He released the man imprisoned for rebellion and murder, but he sent Jesus to be put to death in accordance with their demands.

²⁶ As the soldiers led him away, they seized a man called Simon of Cyrene, who had come in from the countryside. They put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.

²⁷ A large crowd followed him, along with women who were mourning and lamenting him.

²⁸ Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don't weep for me. Weep for yourselves and your children.

²⁹ For the time is coming when they'll say, ‘Happy are those who are childless, and those who never had babies, and those who never nursed them.’

³⁰ They'll say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’

³¹ For if they do this to wood that is green, what will happen when it's dried out?”

³² They also took two others who were criminals to be executed with him.

³³ When they reached the place called the Skull they crucified him together with the criminals, one on his right, and the other on his left.

¹⁷ (For of necessitie hee must haue let one loose vnto them at the feast.)

¹⁸ Then all ye multitude cried at once, saying, Away with him, and deliuer vnto vs Barabbas:

¹⁹ Which for a certaine insurrection made in the citie, and murder, was cast in prison.

²⁰ Then Pilate spake againe to them, willing to let Iesus loose.

²¹ But they cried, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him.

²² And he sayd vnto them the third time, But what euill hath he done? I finde no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.

²³ But they were instant with loude voyces, and required that he might be crucified: and the voyces of them and of the hie Priests preuailed.

²⁴ So Pilate gaue sentence, that it should be as they required.

²⁵ And he let loose vnto them him that for insurrection and murder was cast into prison, whome they desired, and deliuered Iesus to doe with him what they would.

²⁶ And as they led him away, they caught one Simon of Cyrene, comming out of the fielde, and on him they layde the crosse, to beare it after Iesus.

²⁷ And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, which women bewailed and lamented him.

²⁸ But Iesus turned backe vnto them, and said, Daughters of Hierusalem, weepe not for me, but weepe for your selues, and for your children.

²⁹ For behold, the dayes wil come, when men shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombes that neuer bare, and the pappes which neuer gaue sucke.

³⁰ Then shall they begin to say to the mountaines, Fall on vs: and to the hilles, Couer vs.

³¹ For if they doe these things to a greene tree, what shalbe done to the drie?

³² And there were two others, which were euill doers, led with him to be slaine.

³³ And when they were come to the place, which is called Caluarie, there they crucified him, and the euill doers: one at the right hand, and the other at the left.

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.

¹⁷ Now it was necessary for him to release to them one at the feast.

¹⁸ And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas;

¹⁹ who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison.

²⁰ But Pilate again spoke to them, wishing to release Jesus.

²¹ But they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify him!

²² And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found him guilty of nothing deserving death; I will therefore chastise, and release him.

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, demanding that he should he crucified; and their voices prevailed.

²⁴ And Pilate gave sentence that what they demanded should be done.

²⁵ And he released him who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

²⁶ And when they had led him away, they laid hold on one Simon a Cyrenaean, coming out of the country, and laid on him the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

²⁷ And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who were bewailing and lamenting him.

²⁸ But Jesus turning to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me; but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

²⁹ For lo! the days are coming, in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave nourishment.

³⁰ Then will they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

³¹ For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?

³² And two others, who were malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.

³³ And when they had come to the place which is called the Skull, they there crucified him, and the malefactors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

¹⁸ But they began to shout as one man, “Kill this fellow, but release Barabbas for us.”

¹⁹ (Barabbas was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had broken out in the city and for murder.)

²⁰ Pilate, however, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again;

²¹ but they kept calling out, “Crucify, crucify him!”

²² “Why, what harm has this man done?” Pilate said to them for the third time. “I have found nothing in him for which he could be condemned to death. So I will have him scourged, and then release him.”

²³ But they persisted in loudly demanding his crucifixion; and their clamour gained the day.

²⁴ Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.

²⁵ He released the man who had been put in prison for riot and murder, as they demanded, and gave Jesus up to be dealt with as they pleased.

²⁶ And, as they were leading Jesus away, they laid hold of Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on his shoulders, for him to carry it behind Jesus.

²⁷ There was a great crowd of people following him, many being women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.

²⁸ So Jesus turned and said to them, “Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

²⁹ A time, I tell you, is coming, when it will be said — ‘Happy are the women who are barren, and those who have never borne children or nursed them!’

³⁰ At that time people will begin to say to the mountains ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills ‘Cover us.’

³¹ If what you see is done while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

³² There were two others also, criminals, led out to be executed with Jesus.

³³ When they had reached the place called ‘The Skull,’ there they crucified Jesus and the criminals, one on the right, and one on the left.

¹⁸ But they began to shout as one man, “Kill this fellow, but release Barabbas for us.”

¹⁹ (Barabbas was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had broken out in the city and for murder.)

²⁰ Pilate, however, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again;

²¹ but they kept calling out, “Crucify, crucify him!”

²² “Why, what harm has this man done?” Pilate said to them for the third time. “I have found nothing in him for which he could be condemned to death. So I will have him scourged, and then release him.”

²³ But they persisted in loudly demanding his crucifixion; and their clamor gained the day.

²⁴ Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.

²⁵ He released the man who had been put in prison for riot and murder, as they demanded, and gave Jesus up to be dealt with as they pleased.

²⁶ And, as they were leading Jesus away, they laid hold of Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on his shoulders, for him to carry it behind Jesus.

²⁷ There was a great crowd of people following him, many being women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.

²⁸ So Jesus turned and said to them, “Women of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

²⁹ A time, I tell you, is coming, when it will be said — ‘Happy are the women who are barren, and those who have never borne children or nursed them!’

³⁰ At that time people will begin to say to the mountains ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills ‘Cover us.’

³² There were two others also, criminals, led out to be executed with Jesus.

³³ When they had reached the place called ‘The Skull,’ there they crucified Jesus and the criminals, one on the right, and one on the left.

¹⁷ Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Bar-Abba Son Father!”—

¹⁹ one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.

²⁰ Then Pilate Armed with javelin spoke to them again, wanting to release Yeshua Salvation,

²¹ but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”

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.”

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be put to death on the stake. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ Pilate Armed with javelin decreed that what they asked for should be done.

²⁵ He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Yeshua Salvation up to their will.

²⁶ When they led him away, they grabbed one Simeon Hearing of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the execution-stake, to carry it after Yeshua Salvation.

²⁷ A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.

²⁸ But Yeshua Salvation, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem City of peace, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

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.’

³⁰ Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’

³¹ For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”

³² There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.

³³ When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they nailed him to a stake; and they nailed the criminals to stakes, one on the right and the other on the left.

²⁷ A big mob of people followed Jesus. There were a lot of women among them. They were really sad. They were crying really loud, and they were hitting themselves.

²⁸ So Jesus turned around and said to them, “You women that live here in Jerusalem, don’t cry for me, but cry for yourselves, and for your kids.

²⁹ Listen, soon bad things are going to happen to everybody. The time will come when people will say, ‘Those women that can’t have babies, and those that don’t have to feed babies, they are the lucky ones.’

³⁰ Things will be so bad that people will want to die, so they will ask the mountains to fall on top of them, and kill them. And they will ask the hills to bury them.

³¹ You see, I didn’t do anything wrong and they are hurting me. But you mob do wrong things, so they will hurt you a lot more.”

¹⁷ For of necessite he must have let one lowse vnto them at that feast.

¹⁸ And all the people cryed at once sayinge: awaye with him and delyvre to vs Barrabas:

¹⁹ which for insurreccion made in the cite and morther was cast into preson.

²⁰ Pylate spake agayne to them willynge to let Iesus lowse.

²¹ And they cryed sayinge: Crucify him Crucify him

²² He sayde vnto them the thyrde tyme. What evyll hath he done? I fynde no cause of deeth in him. I will therfore chasten him and let him lowse.

²³ And they cryed with loude voyce and required that he myght be crucifyed. And the voyce of them and of the hye Prestes prevayled.

²⁴ And Pylate gave sentence that it shuld be as they required

²⁵ and let lowse vnto them him that for insurreccion and morther was cast into preson whom they desyred: and delyvered Iesus to do with him what they wolde.

²⁶ And as they ledde him awaye they caught one Symon of Syrene commynge out of the felde: and on him layde they the crosse to beare it after Iesus.

²⁷ And ther folowed him a greate company of people and of wemen which weme bewayled and lamented him.

²⁸ But Iesus turned backe vnto them and sayde: Doughters of Ierusalem, wepe not for me: but wepe for youre selves and for youre chyldren.

²⁹ For beholde, the dayes will come, when men shall saye: happy are the baren and the wombes that never bare and the pappes which never gave sucke.

³⁰ Then shall they beginne to saye to the mountaynes fall on vs: and to the hilles cover vs.

³¹ For yf they do this to a grene tree what shalbe done to the drye?

³² And ther were two evyll doers ledde with him to be slayne.

³³ And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary there they crucified him and the evyll doers one on ryght honde and the other on the lefte.

¹⁸ But they cried out all together, saying, “Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas!”

¹⁹ Barabbas was a man who had been put into prison for a certain rebellion in the city and for murder.

²⁰ Pilate addressed them again, desiring to release Jesus.

²¹ But they shouted, saying, “Crucify him, crucify him.”

²² He said to them a third time, “Why, what evil has this man done? I have found nothing deserving the death penalty in him. Therefore after punishing him, I will release him.”

²³ But they were insistent with loud voices, demanding for him to be crucified. Their voices convinced Pilate.

²⁴ So Pilate decided to grant their demand.

²⁵ He released the one they asked for who had been put in prison for rioting and murder. But he delivered up Jesus to their will.

²⁶ As they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and they laid the cross on him to carry, following Jesus.

²⁷ A great crowd of the people, and of women who grieved and mourned for him, were following him.

²⁸ But turning to them, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

²⁹ For see, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren and the wombs that did not bear, and the breasts that did not nurse.'

³⁰ Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us,' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'

³¹ For if they do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

³² Other men, two criminals, were led away with him to be put to death.

³³ When they came to the place that is called “The Skull,” there they crucified him, and the criminals—one on his right and one on his left.

¹⁷ Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—

¹⁹ one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

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.

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.

²⁷ A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.

²⁸ But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, don’t weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

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.’

³⁰ Then they will begin to tell the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and tell the hills, ‘Cover us.’

³¹ For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?”

³² There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.

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.

¹⁷ Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

³² There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.

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.

¹⁷ (For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.)

¹⁸ And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man , and release to 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, spoke again to them.

²¹ But they cried, saying, Crucify, crucify him.

²² And he said to 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 urgent 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 to them him that for sedition and murder had been 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, who also bewailed and lamented him.

²⁸ But Jesus turning to 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 which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which never nourished infants.

³⁰ Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—

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.”

²³ And they continued with great voices asking or they continued asking with great voices, that he should be crucified; and the voices of them waxed strong.

²⁴ And Pilate deemed their asking to be done.

²⁵ And he delivered to them him, that for manslaying and sedition was sent into prison, whom they asked; but he betook Jesus to their will.

²⁶ And when they led him, they took a man, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the town, and they laid on him the cross to bear after Jesus.

²⁷ And there pursued him much people, and women that bewailed, and bemourned him.

²⁸ And Jesus turned to them, and said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not ye weep on me, but weep ye on yourselves and on your sons.

²⁹ For lo! days shall come, in which it shall be said, Blessed be barren women, and the wombs that have not born children, and the teats that have not given suck.

³⁰ Then they shall begin to say to mountains, Fall ye down on us, and to small hills, Cover ye us.

³¹ For if in a green tree they do these things or if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in a dry?

³³ And when they came into a place, that is called of Calvary, +or after that they came to a place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the thieves, one on the right half, and the other on the left half.

¹⁷ But he must needs deliver to them one by the feast day. Forsooth he had need to deliver to them one by the feast day. (But he had to release one prisoner to them on the Feast Day, or at the Festival.)

²¹ And they cried out, and said, Crucify, crucify him.

²² And the third time he said to them, For what evil hath he done?

¹⁷ But he moste nede delyuer to hem oon bi the feest dai.

¹⁸ And al the puple criede togidir, and seide, Do `awei hym, and delyuer to vs Barabas;

¹⁹ which was sent `in to prisoun for disturblyng maad in the cite, and for mansleynge.

²⁰ And eftsoone Pilat spak to hem, and wolde delyuer Jhesu.

³³ And `aftir that thei camen in to a place, that is clepid of Caluerie, there thei crucifieden hym, and the theues, oon on the riyt half, and `the tother on the left half.

¹⁷ for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast,

¹⁸ and they cried out — the whole multitude — saying, 'Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,'

¹⁹ who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison.

²⁰ Pilate again then — wishing to release Jesus — called to them,

²¹ but they were calling out, saying, 'Crucify, crucify him.'

²² And he a third time said unto them, 'Why, what evil did he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will release him.'

²³ And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing,

²⁴ and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done,

²⁵ and he released him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave up to their will.

²⁶ And as they led him away, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put on him the cross, to bear it behind Jesus.

²⁷ And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him,

²⁸ and Jesus having turned unto them, said, 'Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children;

²⁹ for, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give suck;

³⁰ then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us; —

³¹ for, if in the green tree they do these things — in the dry what may happen?'

³² And there were also others — two evil-doers — with him, to be put to death;

³³ and when they came to the place that is called Skull, there they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right hand and one on the left.
