Luke 23:2-54 in English

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, and 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.

⁴ And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man.

⁵ But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judæa, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place.

⁶ But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan.

⁷ And when he knew that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.

⁸ Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

⁹ And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.

¹¹ And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.

¹² And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

¹³ And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹⁴ and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

¹⁵ no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

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.

³⁴ And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots.

³⁵ And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen.

³⁶ And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, offering him vinegar,

³⁷ and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself.

³⁸ And there was also a superscription over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁹ And one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

⁴⁰ But the other answered, and rebuking him said, Dost thou not even 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, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom.

⁴³ And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.

⁴⁴ And it was now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour,

⁴⁵ the sun’s light failing: and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

⁴⁶ And Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said this, he gave up the ghost.

⁴⁷ And when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

⁴⁸ And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts.

⁴⁹ And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.

⁵⁰ And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man

⁵¹ (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), a man of Arimathæa, a city of the Jews, who was looking for the kingdom of God:

⁵² this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

⁵³ And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain.

⁵⁴ And it was the day of the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, 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 Galilæan.

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.

⁴⁵ And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

⁴⁷ Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

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 Arimathæa, 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.

⁴⁵ the sun’s light failing: and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

⁴⁷ And when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

⁴⁸ And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts.

⁴⁹ And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.

⁵⁰ And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good man and a righteous

⁵¹ (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), a man of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was looking for the kingdom of God:

⁵² this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

⁵³ And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain.

⁵⁴ And it was the day of the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

² They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We (exc) have determined that this fellow has caused political trouble in our country. He has been telling people that they should not pay taxes to the Roman government MTY. Also, he says that he is the Messiah, a king!”

³ Pilate asked him, “Do you (sg) claim that you are the King of the Jews?” He replied, “ It is as you have just now said.”

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the rest of the crowd, “I do not conclude that this man is guilty of any crime.”

⁵ But they kept insisting, “He is inciting the people to riot! He has been teaching his ideas throughout all of Judea district. He started doing it in Galilee district and now he is doing it here!”

⁶ When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee district?”

⁷ When they told him that Jesus was from Galilee, which was the district that Herod Antipas ruled, he told them to take Jesus to Herod Antipas, because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.

⁸ So they did. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He had heard about Jesus, and he had been hoping for a long time that he could see Jesus perform a miracle.

⁹ So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply to any of them.

¹⁰ The chief priests and men who taught the Jewish laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.

¹¹ Then Herod and his soldiers ◄made fun of/ridiculed► Jesus. They put gorgeous clothes on him to mock him as being a king. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate.

¹² Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.

¹³ Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other Jewish leaders and the crowd that was still there.

¹⁴ He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying that he had caused trouble among the people. But I want you to know that after having examined him while you were listening, I do not conclude that he is guilty of any of the things that you are accusing him about.

¹⁵ Obviously Herod did not conclude that either, because he sent him back to me without punishing him. So it is clear that this man has not done anything for which we (inc) should kill him.

¹⁶ So I will have my soldiers flog him and then release him.”

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.

³⁴ Jesus prayed, “ My Father, forgive them, because they do not realize whom they are doing this to!” Then the soldiers divided Jesus' clothing by gambling with something like dice, to decide which piece of clothing each one would get.

³⁵ Many people stood nearby, watching. And the Jewish leaders ◄made fun of/ridiculed► Jesus, saying, “He said IRO that he saved other people! If he is the Messiah, the one God has chosen, he should save himself!”

³⁶ The soldiers also ridiculed him because he claimed to be a king. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.

³⁷ They said to him, “If you (sg) are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”

³⁸ They also fastened on the cross a sign that stated why they were nailing him to the cross. But all it said was, ❛This is the King of the Jews❜.

³⁹ One of the criminals who was hanging on a cross began to insult Jesus, saying, “You (sg) said that you are the Messiah, so you must be powerful! So save yourself, and save us, too!”

⁴⁰ But the other criminal rebuked him, saying, “◄You (sg) should be afraid of God punishing you!/Are you not afraid of God punishing you?► RHQ They are punishing him and us similarly.

⁴¹ They have justly decided that we (inc) two must die. They are punishing us as we deserve for the evil things that we did. But this man has done nothing wrong!”

⁴² Then he said, “Jesus, please remember me and take care of me when you become king!”

⁴³ Jesus replied, “I want you (sg) to know that today you (sg) will be with me in the place where everyone is happy!” (OR, that today you will be with me in Paradise!)

⁴⁴ Then it was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, and it stayed dark until three o'clock in the afternoon.

⁴⁵ There was no light from the sun. Then the thick curtain that closed off the most holy place in the Temple split into two pieces. That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God.

⁴⁶ As that happened, Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care MTY!” When he said that, he EUP died.

⁴⁷ When the officer who supervised the soldiers who were executing Jesus saw what happened, he praised God for the way Jesus died, saying, “ I am sure that this man had done nothing wrong!”

⁴⁸ When the crowd of people who had gathered to see those events saw what happened, they returned to their homes, beating their chests to show that they were sorrowful.

⁴⁹ All of Jesus' friends, including the women who had come with him from Galilee district, stood at a distance and saw everything that happened.

⁵⁰ There was a man named Joseph who came there. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea. He was a good and a righteous man, and he was a member of the Jewish Council.

⁵¹ But he had not agreed with the other Council members when they decided to kill Jesus and when they planned how to do it. He was waiting expectantly for the time when God would send his king to begin to rule.

⁵² He went to Pilate and asked Pilate to permit him to take Jesus' body and bury it. After Pilate allowed him to do that,

⁵³ he and some others took Jesus' body down from the cross. They wrapped it in a linen cloth. Then they put his body in a tomb that he had hired others to dig out of a rock cliff. No one had ever put a body in it before.

⁵⁴ They had to do it quickly because that was Friday, the day when people prepared things for the Jewish day of rest. ◄The Sabbath/The day of rest► was about to start at sunset, so they had to finish burying Jesus' body before sunset.

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.”

³ Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

⁶ But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

⁷ When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.

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.

⁹ He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

¹⁰ The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.

¹¹ Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.

¹² Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

¹³ Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

¹⁴ and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

¹⁵ Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

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.

³⁴ Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

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!”

³⁶ The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,

³⁷ and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”

³⁸ An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁹ One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”

⁴⁰ But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

⁴² He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”

⁴³ Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

⁴⁴ It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁵ The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

⁴⁶ Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

⁴⁷ When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”

⁴⁸ All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts.

⁴⁹ All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.

⁵⁰ Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man

⁵¹ (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.

⁵² This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.

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 one had ever been laid.

⁵⁴ It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.

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.”

³ Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

⁵¹ (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.

⁵² This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.

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 one had ever been laid.

⁵⁴ It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.

² And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

³ And Pilate said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he said in answer, You say so.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong.

⁵ But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.

⁶ But at these words Pilate said, Is the man a Galilaean?

⁷ And when he saw that he was under the authority of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was in Jerusalem himself at that time.

⁸ Now when Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, having for a long time had a desire to see him, for he had had accounts of him, and was hoping to see some wonders done by him.

⁹ And he put a great number of questions to him, but he said nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes were there, making statements against him violently.

¹¹ And Herod, with the men of his army, put shame on him and made sport of him, and dressing him in shining robes, he sent him back to Pilate.

¹² And that day Herod and Pilate became friends with one another, for before they had been against one another.

¹³ And Pilate sent for the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them,

¹⁴ You say that this man has been teaching the people evil things: now I, after going into the question before you, see nothing wrong in this man in connection with the things which you have said against him:

¹⁵ And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death.

¹⁶ And so I will give him punishment and let him go.

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.

³⁴ And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

³⁵ And the people were looking on. And the rulers made sport of him, saying, He was a saviour of others; let him do something for himself, if he is the Christ, the man of God's selection.

³⁶ And the men of the army made sport of him, coming to him and giving him bitter wine,

³⁷ And saying, If you are the King of the Jews, get yourself free.

³⁸ And these words were put in writing over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁹ And one of the evil-doers on the cross, with bitter feeling, said to him, Are you not the Christ? Get yourself and us out of this.

⁴⁰ But the other, protesting, said, Have you no fear of God? for you have a part in the same punishment,

⁴¹ And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong.

⁴² And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom.

⁴³ And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.

⁴⁴ And it was now about the sixth hour; and all the land was dark till the ninth hour;

⁴⁵ The light of the sun went out, and the curtain in the Temple was parted in two.

⁴⁶ And Jesus gave a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I give my spirit: and when he had said this, he gave up his spirit.

⁴⁷ And when the captain saw what was done, he gave praise to God, saying, Without doubt this was an upright man.

⁴⁸ And all the people who had come together to see it, when they saw the things which were done, went back again making signs of grief.

⁴⁹ And all his friends and the women who came with him from Galilee, were waiting at a distance, watching these things.

⁵⁰ Now there was a man named Joseph, a man of authority and a good and upright man

⁵¹ (He had not given his approval to their decision or their acts), of Arimathaea, a town of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God:

⁵² This man went to Pilate and made a request for the body of Jesus.

⁵³ And he took it down, and folding it in a linen cloth, he put it in a place cut in the rock for a dead body; and no one had ever been put in it.

⁵⁴ Now it was the day of making ready and the Sabbath was coming on.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

³ And Pilate demanded of him saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And he answering him said, Thou sayest.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, I find no guilt in this man.

⁵ But they insisted, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee even on to here.

⁶ But Pilate, having heard Galilee named, demanded if the man were a Galilaean;

⁷ and having learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, remitted him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.

⁸ And when Herod saw Jesus he greatly rejoiced, for he had been a long while desirous of seeing him, because of hearing many things concerning him, and he hoped to see some sign done by him;

⁹ and he questioned him in many words, but he answered him nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes stood and accused him violently.

¹¹ And Herod with his troops having set him at nought and mocked him, having put a splendid robe upon him, sent him back to Pilate.

¹² And Pilate and Herod became friends with one another the same day, for they had been at enmity before between themselves.

¹³ And Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹⁴ said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people to rebellion, and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;

¹⁵ nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.

¹⁶ Having chastised him therefore, I will release him.

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.

³⁴ And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.

³⁵ And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also with them sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.

³⁶ And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,

³⁷ and saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

³⁸ And there was also an inscription written over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.

³⁹ Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

⁴⁰ But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost thou too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?

⁴¹ and we indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this man has done nothing amiss.

⁴² And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou comest in thy kingdom.

⁴³ And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

⁴⁴ And it was about the sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁵ And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple rent in the midst.

⁴⁶ And Jesus, having cried with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, he expired.

⁴⁷ Now the centurion, seeing what took place, glorified God, saying, In very deed this man was just.

⁴⁸ And all the crowds who had come together to that sight, having seen the things that took place, returned, beating their breasts.

⁴⁹ And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.

⁵⁰ And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good man and a just

⁵¹ (this man had not assented to their counsel and deed), of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who also waited, himself also, for the kingdom of God

⁵² — he having gone to Pilate begged the body of Jesus;

⁵³ and having taken it down, wrapped it in fine linen and placed him in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no one had ever been laid.

⁵⁴ And it was preparation day, and the sabbath twilight was coming on.

² And they began to accuse him, saying: We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he is Christ the king.

³ And Pilate asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, said: Thou sayest it.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no cause in this man.

⁵ But they were more earnest, saying: He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.

⁶ But Pilate hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee?

⁷ And when he understood that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was also himself at Jerusalem, in those days.

⁸ And Herod, seeing Jesus, was very glad; for he was desirous of a long time to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him.

⁹ And he questioned him in many words. But he answered him nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes stood by, earnestly accusing him.

¹¹ And Herod with his army set him at nought, and mocked him, putting on him a white garment, and sent him back to Pilate.

¹² And Herod and Pilate were made friends, that same day; for before they were enemies one to another.

¹³ And Pilate, calling together the chief priests, and the magistrates, and the people,

¹⁴ Said to them: You have presented unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold I, having examined him before you, find no cause in this man, in those things wherein you accuse him.

¹⁵ No, nor Herod neither. For I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him.

¹⁶ I will chastise him therefore, and release him.

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.

³⁴ And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. But they, dividing his garments, cast lots.

³⁵ And the people stood beholding, and the rulers with them derided him, saying: He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the elect 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 there was also a superscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁹ And one of those robbers who were hanged, blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

⁴⁰ But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing thou art condemned under the same condemnation?

⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil.

⁴² And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom.

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

⁴⁴ And it was almost the sixth hour; and there was 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 Jesus crying out with a loud voice, said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And saying this, he gave up the ghost.

⁴⁷ Now the centurion, seeing what was done, glorified God, saying: Indeed this was a just man.

⁴⁸ And all the multitude of them that were come together to that sight, and saw the things that were done, returned striking their breasts.

⁴⁹ And all his acquaintance, and the women that had followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

⁵⁰ And behold there was a man named Joseph, who was a counsellor, a good and just man,

⁵¹ (The same had not consented to their counsel and doings;) of Arimathea, a city of Judea; who also himself looked for the kingdom of God.

⁵² This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

⁵³ And taking him down, he wrapped him in fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that was hewed in stone, wherein never yet any man had been laid.

⁵⁴ And it was the day of the Parasceve, and the sabbath drew on.

² And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this Man perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King.”

³ Then Pilate questioned Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” He answered him and said, “You are saying what is so.”

⁴ But Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt in this Man.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to here.”

⁶ When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean.

⁷ And when he found out that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem in those days.

⁸ Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because he had heard many things about Him, and he was hoping to see some miracle done by Him.

⁹ Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and scribes stood, vehemently accusing Him.

¹¹ Then Herod, with his men of war, having treated Him with contempt, and having mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.

¹² That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.

¹³ And Pilate, having called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

¹⁴ said to them, “You have brought this Man to me, on the charge of misleading the people. And indeed, when I examined Him in your presence, I found no guilt in this Man in the matters which you bring as charges against Him;

¹⁵ and neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing worthy of death has been done by Him.

¹⁶ Therefore when I have flogged Him, I will release Him.”

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.

³⁴ Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And dividing His garments, they cast lots.

³⁵ And the people stood, watching. And the rulers with them also were sneering, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the elect of God.”

³⁶ The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him sour wine,

³⁷ and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”

³⁸ And an inscription also was written over Him, in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew letters: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁹ Then one of the evildoers who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”

⁴⁰ But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this Man did nothing wrong.”

⁴² Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come in Your kingdom.”

⁴³ And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

⁴⁴ Now it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came upon the whole land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁵ Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

⁴⁶ And Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I will commit My spirit.’ ” And after He said these things, He breathed His last.

⁴⁷ And when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous Man!”

⁴⁸ And all the crowds which came together for this spectacle, when they saw what had happened, beat their own chests and returned.

⁴⁹ But all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

⁵⁰ And behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and righteous man

⁵¹ (this man had not agreed to their decision and deed), from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God.

⁵² This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

⁵³ And having taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen cloth, and put it in a tomb cut out of rock, where no one had ever lain before.

⁵⁴ That day was the Preparation; the Sabbath was drawing near.

² And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this fellow perverting the nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, declaring himself to be Christ, a king.”

³ So Pilate questioned Him, saying, “Are you the king of the Jews?” In reply He said to him, “You said it!”

⁴ Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt in this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to here.”

⁶ When Pilate heard ‘Galilee’, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

⁷ Upon learning that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.

⁸ Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was really pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see Him, having heard so many things about Him; and he was hoping to see some miracle performed by Him.

⁹ He questioned Him with many words, but He gave him no answer.

¹⁰ On their part, the high priests and scribes stood by, vehemently accusing Him.

¹¹ Then Herod and his soldiers, after ridiculing and mocking Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe and sent Him back to Pilate.

¹² (That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other—previously having been at odds with each other.)

¹³ Then Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹⁴ said to them: “You have brought this man to me as one who misleads the people, and yet, having examined him in your presence, I have found no guilt in this man as to those things of which you accuse him.

¹⁵ Further, neither did Herod (for I sent you on to him); indeed, nothing deserving of death has been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore flog and release him.”

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.

³⁴ Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing”; while they were dividing up His clothes by casting a lot.

³⁵ Meanwhile the people stood looking on. And especially the rulers among them were sneering, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself, if such is the Christ, the chosen of God!”

³⁶ Yes, even the soldiers mocked Him, approaching and offering Him sour wine,

³⁷ and saying, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself!”

³⁸ In fact, above Him there was a written notice, in Greek, Latin and Hebrew letters: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁹ Then one of the hanged criminals started berating Him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”

⁴⁰ But the other reacted and rebuked him, saying: “Don't you even fear God, since you are under the same condemnation?

⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward for our deeds; but this man did nothing wrong.”

⁴² Then he said to Jesus, “Please remember me, Lord, when you come in your kingdom.”

⁴³ Jesus said to him, “I tell you assuredly, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

⁴⁴ Now it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came upon the whole land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁵ Yes, the sun was darkened; also, the veil of the temple was torn in two.

⁴⁶ Then, after giving a loud shout, Jesus said, “Father, it is into your hands that I will commit my spirit.” And having said this, He breathed out His spirit.

⁴⁷ Well upon seeing what had happened, the centurion glorified God, saying, “Certainly this man was righteous!”

⁴⁸ And the whole crowd that had gathered for the spectacle, when they saw what actually happened, went away beating their breasts.

⁴⁹ But all His acquaintances, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

⁵⁰ Now then, there was a man named Joseph, a good and righteous man, a Council member

⁵¹ (but he had not agreed with their counsel and action), from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who himself was waiting for the Kingdom of God:

⁵² this man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.

⁵³ Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock, where no one had ever been laid.

⁵⁴ It was a Preparation day; the Sabbath was drawing near.

² There they started to accuse him. “We found this man deceiving our nation, telling people not to pay taxes to Caesar, and claiming he is Messiah, a king,” they said.

³ “Are you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked him. “So you say,” replied Jesus.

⁴ Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I don't find this man guilty of any crime.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He is inciting rebellion all over Judea with his teachings, from Galilee to right here in Jerusalem.”

⁶ When he heard this, Pilate asked, “Is this man a Galilean?”

⁷ When he discovered that Jesus came under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod who was also in Jerusalem at the time.

⁸ Herod was very pleased to see Jesus since he had wanted to meet him for a long time. He had heard about Jesus and was hoping to see him perform a miracle.

⁹ He asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not answer him at all.

¹⁰ The chief priests and religious teachers stood there, angrily accusing him.

¹¹ Herod and his soldiers treated Jesus with contempt and mocked him. Then they placed a royal robe on him and sent him back to Pilate.

¹² From that day on Herod and Pilate were friends—before that they had been enemies.

¹³ Pilate called together the chief priests, rulers, and the people,

¹⁴ and told them, “You brought this man before me, accusing him of inciting the people to rebellion. I've carefully examined him in your presence, and do not find him guilty of the charges you have brought against him.

¹⁵ Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. He has done nothing that demands he should be put to death.

¹⁶ So I will have him flogged and then release him.”

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.

³⁴ Jesus said, “Father, please forgive them, for they don't know what they're doing.” They divided up his clothes by throwing dice for them.

³⁵ The people stood and watched and the leaders sneered at Jesus. “He saved others, let him save himself, if he is really God's Messiah, the Chosen One,” they said.

³⁶ The soldiers also mocked him, coming up to him and offering him wine vinegar, saying,

³⁷ “If you're the King of the Jews, then save yourself.”

³⁸ Above Jesus was a sign on which it was written, “This is the King of the Jews.”

³⁹ One of the criminals hanging there joined in the insults against Jesus. “Aren't you the Messiah?” he asked. “Then save yourself—and us too!”

⁴⁰ But the other criminal disagreed and argued with him, “Don't you fear God even when you're suffering the same punishment?” he asked.

⁴¹ “For us the sentence is right since we're being punished for what we did, but this man didn't do anything wrong.”

⁴² Then he said, “Jesus, please remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

⁴³ Jesus replied, “I promise you today you will be with me in paradise.”

⁴⁴ By this time it was around noon and darkness fell over the whole land until three in the afternoon.

⁴⁵ The sun's light was shut out, and the Temple veil was torn in two.

⁴⁶ Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, I place myself in your hands.” Having said this he breathed his last.

⁴⁷ When the centurion saw what had happened he praised God and said, “Surely this man was innocent.”

⁴⁸ When all the crowds that had come to watch saw what happened they went home beating their chests in grief.

⁴⁹ But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who'd followed him from Galilee, watched from a distance.

⁵⁰ There was a man called Joseph who was good and honest. He was a member of the council,

⁵¹ but he hadn't agreed with its decisions and actions. He came from the Jewish town of Arimathea, and was waiting expectantly for the kingdom of God.

⁵² Joseph went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.

⁵³ Once he'd taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen cloth. He laid Jesus in an unused tomb cut into the rock.

⁵⁴ It was preparation day and the Sabbath would soon begin.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We haue found this man peruerting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Cesar, saying, That he is Christ a King.

³ And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answered him, and sayd, Thou sayest it.

⁴ Then sayd Pilate to the hie Priests, and to the people, I finde no fault in this man.

⁵ But they were the more fierce, saying, He moueth the people, teaching throughout all Iudea, beginning at Galile, euen to this place.

⁶ Nowe when Pilate heard of Galile, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.

⁷ And when he knewe that he was of Herods iurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, which was also at Hierusalem in those dayes.

⁸ And when Herod sawe Iesus, hee was exceedingly glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and trusted to haue seene some signe done by him.

⁹ Then questioned hee with him of many things: but he answered him nothing.

¹⁰ The hie Priests also and Scribes stood forth, and accused him vehemently.

¹¹ And Herod with his men of warre, despised him, and mocked him, and arayed him in white, and sent him againe to Pilate.

¹² And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were enemies one to another.

¹³ Then Pilate called together the hie Priests and the rulers, and the people,

¹⁴ And sayd vnto them, Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one that peruerted the people: and beholde, I haue examined him before you, and haue found no fault in this man, of those things whereof ye accuse him:

¹⁵ No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him: and loe, nothing worthy of death is done of him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.

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.

³⁴ Then sayd Iesus, Father, forgiue them: for they know not what they doe. And they parted his raiment, and cast lottes.

³⁵ And the people stoode, and behelde: and the rulers mocked him with them, saying, He saued others: let him saue himselfe, if hee be that Christ, the Chosen of God.

³⁶ The souldiers also mocked him, and came and offered him vineger,

³⁷ And said, If thou be the King of the Iewes, saue thy selfe.

³⁸ And a superscription was also written ouer him, in Greeke letters, and in Latin, and in Hebrewe, THIS IS THAT KING OF THE JEWES.

³⁹ And one of the euill doers, which were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou be that Christ, saue thy selfe and vs.

⁴⁰ But the other answered, and rebuked him, saying, Fearest thou not God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

⁴¹ We are in deede righteously here: for we receiue things worthy of that we haue done: but this man hath done nothing amisse.

⁴² And he sayd vnto Iesus, Lord, remember me, when thou commest into thy kingdome.

⁴³ Then Iesus said vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.

⁴⁴ And it was about the sixt houre: and there was a darkenes ouer all the land, vntill the ninth houre.

⁴⁵ And the Sunne was darkened, and the vaile of the Temple rent through the middes.

⁴⁶ And Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, and sayd, Father, into thine hands I commend my spirit. And when hee thus had sayd, hee gaue vp the ghost.

⁴⁷ Nowe when the Centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Of a suretie this man was iust.

⁴⁸ And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things, which were done, smote their brestes, and returned.

⁴⁹ And all his acquaintance stood a farre off, and the women that followed him from Galile, beholding these things.

⁵⁰ And beholde, there was a man named Ioseph, which was a counseller, a good man and a iust.

⁵¹ Hee did not consent to the counsell and deede of them, which was of Arimathea, a citie of the Iewes: who also himselfe waited for the kingdome of God.

⁵² He went vnto Pilate, and asked the body of Iesus,

⁵³ And tooke it downe, and wrapped it in a linnen cloth, and laide it in a tombe hewen out of a rocke, wherein was neuer man yet laide.

⁵⁴ And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drewe on.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, 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 Galilean.

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 vail 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 counseller; 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 Arimathea, 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.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Christ, the king.

³ And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And he answering said to him, I am.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, I find nothing criminal in this man.

⁵ But they were the more violent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, even to this place.

⁶ And when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilaean.

⁷ And on learning that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself also at Jerusalem at this time.

⁸ Now Herod, when he saw Jesus, was very glad; for he had been wishing to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him.

⁹ And he put many questions to him; but he gave him no answer.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and scribes stood vehemently accusing him.

¹¹ And Herod also with his guard of soldiers set him at nought and mocked him, and having arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, sent him back to Pilate.

¹² And Herod and Pilate on that day became friends with each other; for they had before been at enmity.

¹³ And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹⁴ said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found nothing in this man to sustain the charges which ye bring against him.

¹⁵ No, nor yet Herod; for he hath sent him back to us; and lo! nothing deserving death hath been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise, and release him.

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.

³⁴ And Jesus said, Father, forgive them! for they know not what they do. And they divided his garments, casting lots.

³⁵ And the people stood looking on; and the rulers sneered, saying, Others he saved; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, the chosen one.

³⁶ And the soldiers also came up to him and made sport of him, offering him vinegar,

³⁷ and saying, If thou art the king of the Jews, save thyself.

³⁸ There was also an inscription over him: “This is the king of the Jews.”

³⁹ And one of the crucified malefactors railed at him, saying, Art thou not the Christ? save thyself and us.

⁴⁰ But the other answering said, rebuking him, Dost not thou fear God, since thou art in the same condemnation?

⁴¹ And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss.

⁴² And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom.

⁴³ And he said to him, Truly do I say to thee, Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise.

⁴⁴ And it was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,

⁴⁵ the sun having failed; and the veil of the temple was rent in two.

⁴⁶ And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit! And having said this, he expired.

⁴⁷ And the centurion, seeing what was done, gave glory to God, saying, Surely this was a righteous man.

⁴⁸ And all the multitudes that had come together to that sight, when they had seen the things which were done, returned, beating their breasts.

⁴⁹ And all his acquaintances stood at a distance, and women that came with him from Galilee, beholding these things.

⁵⁰ And lo! a man named Joseph, of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, being a councilor, and a good and righteous man,

⁵¹ who was not consenting to their purpose and deed, and was waiting for the kingdom of God,—

⁵² this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

⁵³ And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock; wherein no one had yet lain.

⁵⁴ And it was the day of preparation, and the sabbath was now coming on.

² And they began to accuse him, “This is a man whom we found misleading our people, preventing them from paying taxes to the Emperor, and giving out that he himself is ‘Christ, a king.’”

³ “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked him. “It is true,” replied Jesus.

⁴ But Pilate, turning to the chief priests and the people, said, “I do not see anything to find fault with in this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, “He is stirring up the people by his teaching all through Judea; he began with Galilee and has now come here.”

⁶ Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;

⁷ and, having satisfied himself that Jesus came under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who also was at Jerusalem at the time.

⁸ When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly pleased, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, having heard a great deal about him; and he was hoping to see some sign given by him.

⁹ So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.

¹⁰ Meanwhile the chief priests and the teachers of the Law stood by and vehemently accused him.

¹¹ And Herod, with his soldiers, treated Jesus with scorn; he mocked him by throwing a gorgeous robe around him, and then sent him back to Pilate.

¹² And Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, for before that there had been ill-will between them.

¹³ So Pilate summoned the chief priests, and the leading men, and the people,

¹⁴ and said to them, “You brought this man before me charged with misleading the people; and yet, for my part, though I examined him before you, I did not find this man to blame for any of the things of which you accuse him;

¹⁵ nor did Herod either; for he has sent him back to us. And, as a fact, he has not done anything deserving death;

¹⁶ so I will have him scourged, and then release him.”

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.

³⁴ Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.” His clothes they divided amongst them by casting lots.

³⁵ Meanwhile the people stood looking on. Even the leading men said with a sneer, “He saved others, let him save himself, if he is God's Christ, his chosen one.”

³⁶ The soldiers, too, came up in mockery, bringing him common wine,

³⁷ and saying as they did so, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”

³⁸ Above him were the words — ‘THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.’

³⁹ One of the criminals who were hanging beside Jesus railed at him. “Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us,” he said.

⁴⁰ But the other rebuked him. “Haven't you,” he said, “any fear of God, now that you are under the same sentence?

⁴¹ And we justly so, for we are only reaping our deserts, but this man has not done anything wrong.

⁴² Jesus,” he went on, “do not forget me when you have come to your kingdom.”

⁴³ And Jesus answered, “I tell you, this very day you will be with me in Paradise.”

⁴⁴ It was nearly midday, when a darkness came over the whole country, lasting until three in the afternoon,

⁴⁵ the sun being eclipsed; and the Temple curtain was torn down the middle.

⁴⁶ Then Jesus, with a loud cry, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” And with these words he expired.

⁴⁷ The Roman captain, on seeing what had happened, praised God, exclaiming, “This must have been a good man!”

⁴⁸ All the people who had collected to see the sight watched what occurred, and then went home beating their breasts.

⁴⁹ All the friends of Jesus had been standing at a distance, with the women who accompanied him from Galilee, watching all this.

⁵⁰ Now there was a man of the name of Joseph, who was a member of the Council, and who bore a good and upright character.

⁵¹ (This man had not assented to the decision and action of the Council.) He belonged to Ramah, a town in Judea, and lived in expectation of the kingdom of God.

⁵² He now went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus;

⁵³ and, when he had taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen sheet, and laid him in a tomb cut out of stone, in which no one had yet been buried.

⁵⁴ It was the Preparation day, and just before the Sabbath began.

² And they began to accuse him, “This is a man whom we found misleading our people, preventing them from paying taxes to the Emperor, and giving out that he himself is ‘Christ, a king.’”

³ “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked him. “It is true,” replied Jesus.

⁴ But Pilate, turning to the chief priests and the people, said, “I do not see anything to find fault with in this man.”

⁵⁰ Now there was a man of the name of Joseph, who was a member of the Council, and who bore a good and upright character.

⁵¹ (This man had not assented to the decision and action of the Council.) He belonged to Ramah, a town in Judea, and lived in expectation of the kingdom of God.

⁵² He now went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus;

⁵³ and, when he had taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen sheet, and laid him in a tomb cut out of stone, in which no one had yet been buried.

⁵⁴ It was the Preparation day, and just before the Sabbath began.

² They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar Ruler, and saying that he himself is Messiah Anointed one, a king.”

³ Pilate Armed with javelin asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews Praisers?” He answered him, “So you say.”

⁴ Pilate Armed with javelin said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea Praise, beginning from Galilee District, Circuit even to this place.”

⁶ But when Pilate Armed with javelin heard Galilee District, Circuit mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

⁷ When he found out that he was in Herod Heroic’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod Heroic, who was also in Jerusalem City of peace during those days.

⁸ Now when Herod Heroic saw Yeshua Salvation, 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.

⁹ He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

¹⁰ The chief priests and the Torah-Teachers stood, vehemently accusing him.

¹¹ Herod Heroic with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate Armed with javelin.

¹² Herod Heroic and Pilate Armed with javelin became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

¹³ Pilate Armed with javelin called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

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.

¹⁵ Neither has Herod Heroic, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

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.

³⁴ Yeshua Salvation said, “ Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” They divided up his clothes by casting lots.

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 Messiah Anointed one of God, his chosen one!”

³⁶ The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,

³⁷ and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews Praisers, save yourself!”

³⁸ An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew Immigrant: “This Is The King of The Jews Praisers .”

³⁹ One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Messiah Anointed one, save yourself and us!”

⁴⁰ But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

⁴² He said to Yeshua Salvation, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”

⁴³ Yeshua Salvation said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise, (the righteous side of Sheol.”

⁴⁴ It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three o'clock in the afternoon.

⁴⁵ The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

⁴⁶ Yeshua Salvation, crying with a loud voice, said, “ Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

⁴⁷ When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a upright man.”

⁴⁸ All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, teshuvah ·completely returned· home beating their breasts.

⁴⁹ All his acquaintances, and the women who followed with him from Galilee District, Circuit, stood at a distance, watching these things.

⁵⁰ Behold, a man named Joseph May he add, who was a member of the council, a good and upright man

⁵¹ (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews Praisers, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom:

⁵² this man went to Pilate Armed with javelin, and asked for Yeshua Salvation's body.

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 one had ever been laid.

⁵⁴ It was the Preparation Day (Nissan 14), and the festival Sabbath ·To cease· was drawing near.

⁵ The Jewish leaders kept on blaming Jesus. They told Pilate, “He gets people everywhere to go wild. He started to do that in Galilee country, then in Judea country, and now he is doing it here in Jerusalem.”

⁶ When Pilate heard them say that, he asked them, “Does he come from Galilee country?”

⁷ They said, “Yes, Jesus is from Galilee.” The big boss of Galilee was Herod, and he was visiting Jerusalem at that time. So Pilate sent Jesus to him, to let Herod be his judge.

⁸ Herod was very happy to see Jesus. You see, a long time before that day Herod heard about Jesus, so he always wanted to meet him. He wanted to see Jesus do something powerful.

⁹ So Herod asked him a lot of questions, but Jesus didn’t answer any of them.

¹⁰ The leaders of the Jewish ceremonies and their law teachers stood there all the time, shouting out and blaming Jesus.

¹¹ Then Herod and his soldiers started laughing at Jesus and rubbishing him. They put a pretty coat on him, the kind that a boss wears. Then they sent him back to Pilate.

¹² You know, before that day Herod and Pilate didn’t like each other, but on that day they became friends.

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.”

³⁹ One of the criminals hanging on a cross beside Jesus was rubbishing him, and said, “You reckon you are God’s special man, do you? Then save yourself, and save us too. But I reckon you can’t do it.”

⁴⁰ But the other criminal hanging on a cross said, “Don’t talk like that. Have a bit of respect for God. Listen, they are killing the 3 of us together.

⁴¹ They are killing you and me because we did really bad things, but this man, Jesus, he didn’t do anything wrong.”

⁴² Then that criminal talked to Jesus. He said, “Hey, Jesus, you are going to get God’s people together into one family. When you do that, don’t forget me. I want to be there with you too.”

⁴³ Jesus said, “Yes, you will be with me today, in God’s good place called Paradise. That’s for sure.”

² And they beganne to accuse him sayinge: We have founde this felowe pervertynge the people and forbiddynge to paye tribute to Cesar: sayinge that he is Christ a kynge.

³ And Pylate apposed him sayinge: arte thou the kynge of the iewes? He answered him and sayde: thou sayest it.

⁴ Then sayde Pylate to the hye prestes and to the people: I fynde noo faute in this man.

⁵ And they were the moore fearce sayinge. He moveth the people teachynge thorowout all Iewry and beganne at Galile even to this place.

⁶ When Pilate hearde mencion of Galile he axed whether the man were of Galile.

⁷ And assone as he knewe that he was of Herodes iurisdiccion he sent him to Herode which was also at Ierusalem in those dayes.

⁸ And when Herode sawe Iesus he was excedinglie gladde. For he was desyrous to se him of a longe season because he had hearde many thinges of him and trusted to have sene some myracle done by him.

⁹ Then questeoned he with him of many thinges. But he answered him not one worde.

¹⁰ The hye prestes and scribes stode forthe and accused him straytly.

¹¹ And Herod with his men of warre despysed him and mocked him and arayed him in whyte and sent him agayne to Pylate.

¹² And the same daye Pylate and Herod were made frendes togeder. For before they were at variaunce.

¹³ And Pylate called to geder the hye prestes and the rulers and the people

¹⁴ and sayde vnto them: Ye have brought this man vnto me as one that perverted the people. And beholde I have examined him before you and have founde no faute in this man of those thinges where of ye accuse him.

¹⁵ No nor yet Herode. For I sent you to him: and lo no thinge worthy of deeth is done to him.

¹⁶ I will therfore chasten him and let him lowsse.

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.

³⁴ Then sayde Iesus: father forgeve them for they woot not what they do. And they parted his rayment and cast loottes.

³⁵ And the people stode and behelde. And the rulers mocked him with thee saying: he holpe other men let him helpe him selfe yf he be Christ the chosen of god.

³⁶ The soudiers also mocked him and came and gave him veneger

³⁷ and sayde: yf thou be that kynge of the Iewes save thy silfe.

³⁸ And his superscripcion was written over him in greke in latine and Ebreu: This is the kynge of the Iewes.

³⁹ And one of the evyll doers which hanged rayled on him sayinge: If thou be Christ save thy selfe and vs.

⁴⁰ The other answered and rebuked him sayinge. Net herfearest thou god because thou arte in the same damnacion?

⁴¹ We are ryghteously punesshed for we receave accordynge to oure dedes: But this man hath done nothinge amysse.

⁴² And he sayde vnto Iesus: Lorde remember me when thou comest into thy kyngdome.

⁴³ And Iesus sayde vnto him: Verely I saye vnto the to daye shalt thou be with me in Paradyse.

⁴⁴ And it was about the sixt houre. And ther came a darcknes over all the londe vntyll the nynth houre

⁴⁵ and the sonne was darckened. And the vayle of the temple dyd rent even thorow the myddes.

⁴⁶ And Iesus cryed with a greate voyce and sayd: Father into thy hondes I comende my sprete. And when he thus had sayd he gave vp the goost.

⁴⁷ When the Centurion sawe what had happened he glorified God sayinge: Of a surtie this man was perfecte.

⁴⁸ And all the people that came to geder to that sight beholdynge the thinges which were done: smoote their bestes and returned home.

⁴⁹ And all his acquayntaunce and the wemen that folowed him from Galile stode a farre of beholdynge these thinges.

⁵⁰ And beholde ther was a man named Ioseph a councelloure and was a good man and a iuste

⁵¹ and dyd not consent to the counsell and dede of them which was of Aramathia a cite of the Iewes: which same also wayted for the kyngdome of God:

⁵² he went vnto Pilate and begged the boddy of Iesus

⁵³ and toke it doune and wrapped it in a lynnen clooth and layed it in an hewen toumbe wherin was never man before layed.

⁵⁴ And that daye was the Saboth even and the Saboth drue on.

² They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting our nation, forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”

³ Pilate asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered him and said, “You say so.”

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no fault in this man.”

⁵ But they were insisting, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

⁶ So when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

⁷ When he discovered that he was under Herod's authority, he sent Jesus to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.

⁸ When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, because he had wanted to see him for a long time. He had heard about him and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

⁹ Herod questioned Jesus in many words, but Jesus answered him nothing.

¹⁰ The chief priests and the scribes stood, violently accusing him.

¹¹ Herod with his soldiers insulted Jesus and they mocked him. Then they dressed him in elegant clothes and sent him back to Pilate.

¹² For Herod and Pilate had become friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been enemies with each other.

¹³ Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the crowd of people,

¹⁴ and said to them, “You brought to me this man like a man who is leading the people to act badly, and see, I, having questioned him before you, find no fault in this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

¹⁵ No, nor does Herod, for he sent him back to us, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore punish him, and release him.”

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.

³⁴ Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Then they cast lots, dividing up his garments.

³⁵ The people stood watching while the rulers also were mocking him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, the chosen one.”

³⁶ The soldiers also ridiculed him, approaching him, offering him vinegar,

³⁷ and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself.”

³⁸ There was also a sign over him, “This is the King of the Jews.”

³⁹ One of the criminals who was hanging there insulted him by saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us.”

⁴⁰ But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence?

⁴¹ We indeed are here justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds. But this man did nothing wrong.”

⁴² Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

⁴³ Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

⁴⁴ It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour

⁴⁵ as the sun's light failed. Then the curtain of the temple was split in two.

⁴⁶ Crying with a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” Having said this, he died.

⁴⁷ When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

⁴⁸ When all the multitudes who came together to witness this sight saw the things that were done, they returned beating their breasts.

⁴⁹ But all those who knew him, and the women who followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

⁵⁰ Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the Council. He was a good and righteous man.

⁵¹ This man had not agreed with the decision of the Council and their action. He was from the Judean town of Arimathea; and he was looking for the kingdom of God.

⁵² This man, approaching Pilate, asked for the body of Jesus.

⁵³ He took it down, wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.

⁵⁴ It was the Day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

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.”

³ Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

⁶ But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

⁷ When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.

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.

⁹ He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

¹⁰ The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.

¹¹ Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.

¹² Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

¹³ Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

¹⁴ and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

¹⁵ Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

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.

³⁴ Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

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!”

³⁶ The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,

³⁷ and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”

³⁸ An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁹ One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!”

⁴⁰ But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

⁴² He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”

⁴³ Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

⁴⁴ It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁵ The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

⁴⁶ Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

⁴⁷ When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”

⁴⁸ All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts.

⁴⁹ All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.

⁵⁰ Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man

⁵¹ (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.

⁵² This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body.

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 one had ever been laid.

⁵⁴ It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.

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.”

³ Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

⁶ But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

⁵⁴ It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, 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 Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.

⁶ When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

⁷ And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time.

⁸ And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he had been for a long time, desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see 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 troops set him at naught, 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 to them, Ye have brought this man to 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 of which ye accuse him;

¹⁵ No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him:

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him, and release him .

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.

³¹ For if they do these things in a 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 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 is Christ the chosen of God.

³⁶ And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

³⁷ And saying, If thou art 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, who were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou art 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 to Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

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

⁴⁴ And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁵ And the sun was darkened, and the vail 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 expired.

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 counselor: 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 Arimathea, a city of the Jews; who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

⁵² This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

⁵³ And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, in which man was never before laid.

⁵⁴ And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

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 Messiah, a king.”

³ Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

⁵⁰ Behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man

⁵¹ (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Judeans, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom.

⁵² This man went to Pilate, and asked for Yeshua’s body.

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 one had ever been laid.

⁵⁴ It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.

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 Messiah, a king.”

³ Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

⁶ But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

⁷ When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.

⁸ Now when Herod saw Yeshua, 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.

⁹ He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

¹⁰ The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.

¹¹ Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.

¹² Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

¹³ Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

¹⁴ and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

¹⁵ Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

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 Yeshua,

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 Yeshua 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 Yeshua.

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

²⁸ But Yeshua, 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.

³⁴ Yeshua said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments amongst them, they cast lots.

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 Messiah of God, his chosen one!”

³⁶ The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,

³⁷ and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”

³⁸ An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁹ One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, “If you are the Messiah, save yourself and us!”

⁴⁰ But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

⁴² He said to Yeshua, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”

⁴³ Yeshua said to him, “Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

⁴⁴ It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.

⁴⁵ The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

⁴⁶ Yeshua, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

⁴⁷ When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous man.”

⁴⁸ All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts.

⁴⁹ All his acquaintances and the women who followed with him from Galilee stood at a distance, watching these things.

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 one had ever been laid.

⁵⁴ It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.

² And they began to accuse him, and said, We have found this turning upside-down our folk, and forbidding tribute to be given to the emperor or to Caesar, and saying that himself is Christ a king or and saying himself to be Christ king.

³ And Pilate asked him, and said, Art thou king of Jews? And he answered, and said, Thou sayest.

⁴ And Pilate said to the princes of priests, and to the people, I find nothing of cause in this man.

⁵ And they waxed stronger, and said, He moveth the people, teaching through all Judea, beginning from Galilee till hither.

⁶ And Pilate hearing Galilee asked, if he were a man of Galilee.

⁷ And when he knew that he was of the power of Herod, he sent him to Herod; which was or he was at Jerusalem in those days.

⁸ And when Herod saw Jesus, he joyed full much; for long time he coveted to see him, for he heard many things of him, and hoped to see some token or some miracle done of him.

⁹ And he asked him in many words; and he answered nothing to him.

¹⁰ And the princes of priests, and the scribes stood, steadfastly accusing him.

¹¹ But Herod with his host despised him, and scorned him, and clothed him with a white cloth, and sent him again to Pilate.

¹² And Herod and Pilate were made friends from that day or in that day; for before they were enemies together.

¹³ And Pilate called together the princes of priests, and the magistrates of the people,

¹⁴ and said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as turning away the people, and lo! I asking before you find no cause in this man, of these things, in which ye accuse him;

¹⁵ neither Herod, for he hath sent him again to us, and lo! nothing worthy of death is done to him.

¹⁶ And therefore I shall amend him, and deliver him chastised.

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

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

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

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

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? I find no cause of death in him; there-fore I shall chastise him, and I shall deliver 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?

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

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.

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

³⁵ And 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.

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

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

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

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

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

⁴¹ And 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.

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

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

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

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

⁴⁶ And 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.

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

⁴⁸ And 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.

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

⁵ and they were the more urgent, saying — 'He doth stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea — having begun from Galilee — unto this place.'

⁶ And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean,

⁷ and having known that he is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he being also in Jerusalem in those days.

⁸ And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long time to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done by him,

⁹ and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing him,

¹¹ and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate,

¹² and both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with one another, for they were before at enmity between themselves.

¹³ And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,

¹⁴ said unto them, 'Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him;

¹⁵ no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;

¹⁶ having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'

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.

³⁴ And Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot.

³⁵ And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, 'Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.'

³⁶ And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him,

³⁷ and saying, 'If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.'

³⁸ And there was also a superscription written over him, in letters of Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew, 'This is the King of the Jews.'

³⁹ And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of him, saying, 'If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.'

⁴⁰ And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, 'Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment?

⁴¹ and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;'

⁴² and he said to Jesus, 'Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;'

⁴³ and Jesus said to him, 'Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.'

⁴⁴ And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour,

⁴⁵ and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst,

⁴⁶ and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, 'Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;' and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit.

⁴⁷ And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, 'Really this man was righteous;'

⁴⁸ and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back;

⁴⁹ and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.

⁵⁰ And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man good and righteous,

⁵¹ — he was not consenting to their counsel and deed — from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God,

⁵² he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus,

⁵³ and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid.

⁵⁴ And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching,
