Luke 23:17-53

¹⁷But he must needs or had need to deliver to them one by the feast day.

¹⁸And all the people cried together, and said, Do him away, and deliver to us Barabbas;

¹⁹which was sent into prison for disturbing, or some dissention, or sedition, made in the city, and for manslaying.

²⁰And again Pilate spake to them, and would deliver or willing to deliver Jesus.

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

²²And the third time he said to them, For what evil hath he done? I find no cause of death in him; there-fore I shall chastise him, and I shall deliver him.

²³And 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.

²⁴And Pilate deemed their asking to be done.

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

²⁶And 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.

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

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

²⁹For 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.

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

³¹For 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?

³²Also other two wicked men were led with him, to be slain.

³³And 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.

³⁴But Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they parted his clothes, and cast lots.

³⁵And the people stood abiding; and the princes scorned him with them, and said, Other men he made safe; make he himself safe, if this be Christ, the chosen of God.

³⁶And the knights nighed, and scorned him, and proffered or offered vinegar to him,

³⁷and said, If thou art king of Jews, make thee safe.

³⁸And the superscription was written over him with Greek letters, and of Latin, and of Hebrew, This is the king of Jews.

³⁹And one of these thieves that hanged, blasphemed him, and said, If thou art Christ, make thyself safe and us.

⁴⁰But the other answering, blamed him, and said, Neither thou dreadest God, thou that art in the same condemnation? or the same damnation?

⁴¹And truly we justly, for we have received worthy things to our works or deeds; but this did nothing of evil or soothly this hath done no evil.

⁴²And he said to Jesus, Lord, have mind of me, when thou comest into thy kingdom.

⁴³And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.

⁴⁴And it was almost the sixth hour, and darknesses were made on all the earth, into or till the ninth hour.

⁴⁵And the sun was made dark, and the veil of the temple was rent atwo or was cut down the middle.

⁴⁶And Jesus crying with a great voice, said, Father, into thine hands I betake my spirit. And he saying these things, gave up the ghost, or sent out the spirit, or died.

⁴⁷And the centurion seeing that thing that was done, glorified God, and said, Verily, this man was just.

⁴⁸And all the people of them that were there together at this spectacle, and saw those things that were done, smote their breasts, and turned again.

⁴⁹But all his known stood afar, and women that pursued him from Galilee, seeing these things.

⁵⁰And lo! a man, Joseph by name, of Arimathaea, a city of Judea, that was a decurion, that is, having ten men under him, a good man and a just or a good man and just,

⁵¹this man consented not to the counsel and to the deeds of them; and he abode the kingdom of God.

⁵²This Joseph came to Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus,

⁵³and took it down, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid him in a grave hewn, in which not yet any man had been laid or was put.
