Luke 23 — GNV
23Verse 1Then the whole multitude of them arose, and led him vnto Pilate.Verse 2And 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.Verse 3And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answered him, and sayd, Thou sayest it.Verse 4Then sayd Pilate to the hie Priests, and to the people, I finde no fault in this man.Verse 5But they were the more fierce, saying, He moueth the people, teaching throughout all Iudea, beginning at Galile, euen to this place.Verse 6Nowe when Pilate heard of Galile, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.Verse 7And when he knewe that he was of Herods iurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, which was also at Hierusalem in those dayes.Verse 8And 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.Verse 9Then questioned hee with him of many things: but he answered him nothing.Verse 10The hie Priests also and Scribes stood forth, and accused him vehemently.Verse 11And Herod with his men of warre, despised him, and mocked him, and arayed him in white, and sent him againe to Pilate.Verse 12And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were enemies one to another.Verse 13Then Pilate called together the hie Priests and the rulers, and the people,Verse 14And 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:Verse 15No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him: and loe, nothing worthy of death is done of him.Verse 16I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.Verse 17(For of necessitie hee must haue let one loose vnto them at the feast.)Verse 18Then all ye multitude cried at once, saying, Away with him, and deliuer vnto vs Barabbas:Verse 19Which for a certaine insurrection made in the citie, and murder, was cast in prison.Verse 20Then Pilate spake againe to them, willing to let Iesus loose.Verse 21But they cried, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him.Verse 22And 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.Verse 23But they were instant with loude voyces, and required that he might be crucified: and the voyces of them and of the hie Priests preuailed.Verse 24So Pilate gaue sentence, that it should be as they required.Verse 25And 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.Verse 26And 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.Verse 27And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, which women bewailed and lamented him.Verse 28But Iesus turned backe vnto them, and said, Daughters of Hierusalem, weepe not for me, but weepe for your selues, and for your children.Verse 29For 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.Verse 30Then shall they begin to say to the mountaines, Fall on vs: and to the hilles, Couer vs.Verse 31For if they doe these things to a greene tree, what shalbe done to the drie?Verse 32And there were two others, which were euill doers, led with him to be slaine.Verse 33And 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.Verse 34Then sayd Iesus, Father, forgiue them: for they know not what they doe. And they parted his raiment, and cast lottes.Verse 35And 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.Verse 36The souldiers also mocked him, and came and offered him vineger,Verse 37And said, If thou be the King of the Iewes, saue thy selfe.Verse 38And a superscription was also written ouer him, in Greeke letters, and in Latin, and in Hebrewe, THIS IS THAT KING OF THE JEWES.Verse 39And one of the euill doers, which were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou be that Christ, saue thy selfe and vs.Verse 40But the other answered, and rebuked him, saying, Fearest thou not God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?Verse 41We are in deede righteously here: for we receiue things worthy of that we haue done: but this man hath done nothing amisse.Verse 42And he sayd vnto Iesus, Lord, remember me, when thou commest into thy kingdome.Verse 43Then Iesus said vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.Verse 44And it was about the sixt houre: and there was a darkenes ouer all the land, vntill the ninth houre.Verse 45And the Sunne was darkened, and the vaile of the Temple rent through the middes.Verse 46And 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.Verse 47Nowe when the Centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Of a suretie this man was iust.Verse 48And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things, which were done, smote their brestes, and returned.Verse 49And all his acquaintance stood a farre off, and the women that followed him from Galile, beholding these things.Verse 50And beholde, there was a man named Ioseph, which was a counseller, a good man and a iust.Verse 51Hee 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.Verse 52He went vnto Pilate, and asked the body of Iesus,Verse 53And 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.Verse 54And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drewe on.Verse 55And the women also that followed after, which came with him from Galile, behelde the sepulchre, and how his body was layd.Verse 56And they returned and prepared odours, and ointments, and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandement.
