Lucas 23
Magandang Balita Biblia
Sa Harapan ni Pilato(A)
23 Tumayo ang buong Kataas-taasang Kapulungan ng mga Judio at dinala si Jesus kay Pilato. 2 Siya ay pinaratangan nila ng ganito, “Napatunayan po namin na inililigaw ng taong ito ang aming mga kababayan at pinagbabawalan niyang magbayad ng buwis sa Emperador. Sinasabi pa niyang siya raw ang Cristo, na isang hari.”
3 Tinanong siya ni Pilato, “Ikaw nga ba ang Hari ng mga Judio?”
“Ikaw na ang may sabi,” tugon ni Jesus.
4 Sinabi ni Pilato sa mga punong pari at sa mga tao, “Wala akong makitang kasalanan sa taong ito.”
5 Ngunit iginiit nila, “Sa kanyang pagtuturo ay inuudyukan niyang maghimagsik ang mga taga-Judea. Nagsimula siya sa Galilea at ngayo'y narito na.”
Sa Harapan ni Herodes
6 Nang marinig ito ni Pilato, itinanong niya kung si Jesus ay taga-Galilea nga. 7 At nang malaman niyang si Jesus ay sakop ni Haring Herodes, ipinadala niya si Jesus kay Herodes, na nagkataon namang nasa Jerusalem nang mga araw na iyon. 8 Tuwang-tuwa si Herodes nang makita niya si Jesus. Matagal na niyang ibig makita ito sapagkat marami siyang nababalitaan tungkol dito. Umaasa si Herodes na gagawa si Jesus ng ilang himala, at nais niyang makita iyon. 9 Marami siyang itinanong kay Jesus, ngunit hindi ito sumagot kahit minsan.
10 Samantala, ang mga punong pari at ang mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan ay nakatayo doon at walang pakundangang pinaparatangan si Jesus. 11 Siya'y hinamak at tinuya ni Herodes at ng mga kawal nito. Siya ay dinamitan nila ng magarang damit, at ipinabalik siya kay Pilato. 12 At nang araw ding iyon, naging magkaibigan sina Herodes at Pilato na dati'y magkagalit.
Hinatulang Mamatay si Jesus(B)
13 Ipinatawag ni Pilato ang mga punong pari, ang mga pinuno ng bayan at ang mga tao. 14 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Isinakdal ninyo sa akin ang taong ito sa paratang na inililigaw niya ang mga taong bayan. Siniyasat ko siya sa harap ninyo at napatunayan kong walang katotohanan ang mga paratang ninyo sa kanya. 15 Gayundin si Herodes, kaya ipinabalik niya sa atin ang taong ito. Wala siyang ginawang karapat-dapat para sa hatol na kamatayan. 16 Ipahahagupit ko na lamang siya at pagkatapos ay aking palalayain.” [17 Tuwing Pista ng Paskwa, kinakailangang magpalaya si Pilato ng isang bilanggong mapipili ng taong-bayan.][a]
18 Subalit sabay-sabay na sumigaw ang mga tao, “Patayin ang taong iyan! Palayain si Barabbas!” 19 Si Barabbas ay nabilanggo dahil sa paghihimagsik na pinangunahan nito sa lungsod, at dahil na rin sa salang pagpatay.
20 Sa pagnanais na mapalaya si Jesus, minsan pang nagsalita sa kanila si Pilato, 21 ngunit sumigaw ang mga tao, “Ipako siya sa krus! Ipako siya sa krus!”
22 Ikatlong ulit na sinabi sa kanila ni Pilato, “Bakit, ano ba ang ginawa niyang masama? Wala akong makitang dahilan upang siya'y hatulan ng kamatayan. Kaya't ipahahagupit ko siya at pagkatapos ay palalayain.”
23 Ngunit lalo nilang ipinagsigawan na si Jesus ay dapat ipako sa krus. Nanaig ang kanilang sigaw 24 kaya't ipinasya ni Pilato na pagbigyan ang kanilang hinihingi. 25 Ang taong hiningi nila, na nabilanggo dahil sa paghihimagsik at pagpatay, ay pinalaya niya at ibinigay niya si Jesus sa kanila upang gawin ang kanilang kagustuhan.
Si Jesus ay Ipinako sa Krus(C)
26 Si Jesus ay dinala ng mga kawal. Nasalubong nila sa daan si Simon na taga-Cirene na noon ay galing sa bukid. Pinigil nila ito at ipinapasan dito ang krus habang pinapasunod kay Jesus.
27 Sinusundan si Jesus ng maraming tao, kabilang ang ilang babaing nag-iiyakan at tumatangis dahil sa kanya. 28 Nilingon sila ni Jesus at sinabi, “Mga kababaihan ng Jerusalem, huwag ninyo akong iyakan. Ang tangisan ninyo'y ang inyong sarili at ang inyong mga anak. 29 Tandaan ninyo, darating ang mga araw na sasabihin nila, ‘Pinagpala ang mga baog, ang mga sinapupunang hindi nagdalang-tao, at ang mga dibdib na hindi nagpasuso.’ 30 Sa(D) mga araw na iyo'y sasabihin ng mga tao sa mga bundok, ‘Gumuho kayo sa amin!’ at sa mga burol, ‘Tabunan ninyo kami!’ 31 Sapagkat kung ganito ang ginagawa sa kahoy na sariwa, ano naman kaya ang mangyayari sa kahoy na tuyo?”
32 May dalawa pang kriminal na inilabas ang mga kawal upang pataying kasama ni Jesus. 33 Nang dumating sila sa isang bundok na tinatawag na Bungo, ipinako nila si Jesus sa krus. Ipinako rin ang dalawang kriminal, isa sa kanyang kanan at isa sa kaliwa. [34 Sinabi(E) ni Jesus, “Ama, patawarin mo sila sapagkat hindi nila nalalaman ang kanilang ginagawa.”][b]
Nagpalabunutan ang mga kawal upang paghati-hatian ang kasuotan niya. 35 Ang(F) mga tao nama'y nakatayo roon at nanonood, habang si Jesus ay kinukutya ng mga pinuno ng bayan. Sinabi nila, “Iniligtas niya ang iba; iligtas niya ngayon ang kanyang sarili kung siya nga ang Cristo na hinirang ng Diyos!”
36 Nilait(G) din siya ng mga kawal. Nilapitan siya ng isa at inalok ng maasim na alak, 37 kasabay ng ganitong panunuya, “Kung ikaw nga ang Hari ng mga Judio, iligtas mo ang iyong sarili.”
38 Mayroon ding nakasulat sa kanyang ulunan [sa wikang Griego, Latin at Hebreo],[c] “Ito ang Hari ng mga Judio.”
39 Tinuya rin siya ng isa sa mga salaring nakapako sa tabi niya, “Hindi ba ikaw ang Cristo? Iligtas mo ang iyong sarili at pati na rin kami.”
40 Ngunit pinagsabihan naman ito ng kanyang kasama, “Wala ka na bang takot sa Diyos? Ikaw ay pinaparusahan ding tulad niya! 41 Tama lamang na tayo'y parusahan nang ganito dahil sa ating mga ginawa; ngunit ang taong ito'y walang ginawang masama.” 42 At sinabi pa nito, “Jesus, alalahanin mo ako kapag naghahari ka na.”
43 Sumagot si Jesus, “Sinasabi ko sa iyo, isasama kita ngayon sa Paraiso.”
Ang Pagkamatay ni Jesus(H)
44 Nang magtatanghaling-tapat na, hanggang sa ikatlo ng hapon, nagdilim sa buong lupain. 45 Nawalan(I) ng liwanag ang araw at ang tabing ng Templo'y napunit sa gitna. 46 Sumigaw(J) nang malakas si Jesus, “Ama, sa mga kamay mo'y ipinagkakatiwala ko ang aking espiritu!” At pagkasabi nito, nalagot ang kanyang hininga.
47 Nang makita ng kapitan ng mga kawal ang nangyari, siya'y nagpuri sa Diyos na sinasabi, “Tunay ngang matuwid ang taong ito!”
48 Maraming tao ang nagkakatipon doon at nanonood. Nang makita nila ang mga nangyari, umuwi silang dinadagukan ang kanilang dibdib dahil sa lungkot. 49 Nakatayo(K) naman sa di-kalayuan ang mga kasamahan ni Jesus, pati ang mga babaing sumama sa kanya mula sa Galilea. Pinagmasdan nila ang mga pangyayaring ito.
Ang Paglilibing kay Jesus(L)
50-51 May isang lalaki roon na ang pangala'y Jose. Siya'y taga-Arimatea, isang bayan sa Judea. Mabuti at matuwid ang taong ito, at isa siya sa mga naghihintay sa kaharian ng Diyos. Kahit na siya'y kagawad ng Kapulungan, hindi siya sang-ayon sa kanilang ginawa kay Jesus. 52 Nagpunta siya kay Pilato at hiningi ang bangkay ni Jesus. 53 Ibinabâ niya ang bangkay, binalot sa telang lino at inilagay sa isang libingang inuka sa bato na hindi pa napaglilibingan. 54 Araw noon ng Paghahanda at magsisimula na ang Araw ng Pamamahinga.
55 Sumunod kay Jose ang mga babaing sumama kay Jesus mula pa sa Galilea. Nakita nila ang libingan at ang pagkakalagay doon ng bangkay ni Jesus. 56 Pagkatapos,(M) umuwi sila at naghanda ng mga pabango at mira.
Pagsapit ng Araw ng Pamamahinga, nangilin sila ayon sa Kautusan.

Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Jesús ante Pilato
23 Toda la asamblea de ellos se levantó, y llevaron a Jesús ante Pilato(A). 2 (B)Y comenzaron a acusar a Jesús, diciendo: «Hemos hallado que este pervierte a nuestra nación(C), prohibiendo pagar[a] impuesto a César(D), y diciendo que Él mismo es Cristo[b], un Rey».
3 Pilato preguntó a Jesús: «¿Eres Tú el Rey de los judíos?». «Tú lo dices(E)», le respondió Jesús. 4 Entonces Pilato dijo a los principales sacerdotes y a la multitud: «No encuentro delito en este hombre(F)». 5 Pero ellos insistían, diciendo: «Él alborota al pueblo, enseñando por toda Judea, comenzando desde Galilea(G) hasta aquí».
6 Cuando Pilato oyó esto, preguntó si el hombre era galileo. 7 Al saber que Jesús pertenecía a la jurisdicción de Herodes, lo remitió a Herodes(H), que también estaba en Jerusalén en aquellos[c] días.
Jesús ante Herodes
8 Al ver a Jesús, Herodes se alegró en gran manera, pues hacía mucho tiempo que lo quería ver(I) por lo que había oído hablar de Él, y esperaba ver alguna señal[d] que Él hiciera. 9 Lo interrogó extensamente[e], pero Jesús nada le respondió(J). 10 Los principales sacerdotes y los escribas también estaban allí, y lo acusaban con vehemencia. 11 Entonces Herodes, con sus soldados, después de tratar a Jesús con desprecio y burlarse de Él, lo vistieron con un espléndido manto(K). Después Herodes lo envió de nuevo a Pilato. 12 Aquel mismo día Herodes y Pilato(L) se hicieron amigos, pues antes habían estado enemistados el uno con el otro.
Pilato condena a Jesús
13 Pilato convocó a los principales sacerdotes, a los gobernantes(M) y al pueblo, 14 y les dijo: «Me han presentado a este hombre como uno que incita al pueblo a la rebelión(N), pero habiéndolo interrogado yo delante de ustedes, no he hallado ningún delito en este hombre(O) de las acusaciones que hacen contra Él. 15 Ni tampoco Herodes(P), pues nos lo ha remitido de nuevo; ya que nada ha hecho[f] que merezca la muerte. 16 Por tanto, lo voy a castigar y después, lo soltaré(Q)». 17 [g]Y tenía obligación de soltarles un preso en cada fiesta.
18 Pero todos ellos gritaron a una: «¡(R)Fuera con este, y suéltanos a Barrabás!». 19 Barrabás había sido echado en la cárcel por un levantamiento ocurrido en la ciudad, y por homicidio.
20 Pilato, queriendo soltar a Jesús, les volvió a hablar, 21 pero ellos continuaban gritando: «¡Crucifícalo! ¡Crucifícalo!». 22 Y él les dijo por tercera vez: «¿Por qué? ¿Qué mal ha hecho Este? No he hallado en Él ningún delito digno de muerte; por tanto, lo castigaré y lo soltaré(S)». 23 Pero ellos insistían, pidiendo a grandes voces que fuera crucificado, y sus voces comenzaron a predominar. 24 Entonces Pilato decidió[h] que se les concediera su demanda. 25 Y soltó al que ellos pedían, al que había sido echado en la cárcel por insurrección y homicidio, pero entregó a Jesús a la voluntad de ellos.
Jesús se dirige al Calvario
26 (T)Cuando lo llevaban, tomaron a un tal Simón de Cirene que venía del campo y le pusieron la cruz encima para que la llevara detrás de Jesús(U).
27 Y seguía a Jesús una gran multitud del pueblo y de mujeres que lloraban[i] y se lamentaban(V) por Él. 28 Pero Jesús, volviéndose a ellas, dijo: «Hijas de Jerusalén, no lloren por Mí; lloren más bien por ustedes mismas y por sus hijos. 29 Porque vienen días en que dirán: “Dichosas las estériles, los vientres que nunca concibieron y los senos que nunca criaron(W)”. 30 Entonces comenzarán a decir a los montes: “Caigan sobre nosotros”; y a los collados: “Cúbrannos(X)”. 31 Porque si en el árbol verde hacen esto, ¿qué sucederá en el seco?».
32 También llevaban a otros dos, que eran malhechores, para ser muertos con Él(Y).
La crucifixión
33 (Z)Cuando llegaron al lugar llamado «La Calavera[j]», crucificaron allí a Jesús y a los malhechores, uno a la derecha y otro a la izquierda. 34 Y Jesús decía: «Padre(AA), perdónalos, porque no saben lo que hacen[k]». Y los soldados echaron suertes, repartiéndose entre sí Sus vestidos(AB).
35 El pueblo estaba allí mirando; y aun los gobernantes(AC) se burlaban de Él, diciendo: «A otros salvó; que se salve Él mismo(AD) si Este es el Cristo[l] de Dios, Su Escogido». 36 Los soldados también se burlaban de Jesús, y se acercaban a Él y le ofrecían vinagre(AE), 37 diciendo: «Si Tú eres el Rey de los judíos, sálvate a Ti mismo(AF)».
38 Había también una inscripción sobre Él[m], que decía: «ESTE ES EL REY DE LOS JUDÍOS(AG)».
Los dos malhechores
39 Uno de los malhechores que estaban colgados allí le lanzaba insultos(AH), diciendo: «¿No eres Tú el Cristo? ¡Sálvate a Ti mismo(AI) y a nosotros!».
40 Pero el otro le contestó, y reprendiéndolo, dijo: «¿Ni siquiera temes tú a Dios a pesar de que estás bajo la misma condena? 41 Nosotros a la verdad, justamente, porque recibimos lo que merecemos por nuestros hechos[n]; pero este nada malo ha hecho». 42 Y añadió: «Jesús, acuérdate de mí cuando vengas en[o] Tu reino». 43 Entonces Jesús le dijo: «En verdad te digo: hoy estarás conmigo en el paraíso(AJ)».
Muerte de Jesús
44 (AK)Era ya como la hora sexta[p], cuando descendieron[q] tinieblas sobre toda la tierra hasta la hora novena[r](AL), 45 al eclipsarse el sol. El velo del templo se rasgó en dos[s](AM). 46 Y Jesús, clamando a gran voz, dijo: «Padre, en Tus manos encomiendo Mi espíritu(AN)». Habiendo dicho esto, expiró(AO).
47 Al ver el centurión lo que había sucedido(AP), glorificaba a Dios(AQ), diciendo: «Ciertamente, este hombre era inocente[t]». 48 Todas las multitudes que se habían reunido para presenciar este espectáculo, al observar lo que había acontecido, se volvieron golpeándose el pecho(AR). 49 Pero todos los conocidos de Jesús y las mujeres que lo habían acompañado desde Galilea, estaban a cierta distancia viendo estas cosas(AS).
Sepultura de Jesús
50 (AT)Había un hombre llamado José, miembro del Concilio[u](AU), varón bueno y justo, 51 el cual no había estado de acuerdo con el plan y el proceder de los demás[v], que era de Arimatea, ciudad de los judíos, y que esperaba el reino de Dios(AV). 52 Este fue a Pilato y le pidió el cuerpo de Jesús, 53 y bajándolo, lo envolvió en un lienzo de lino, y lo puso en un sepulcro excavado en la roca donde nadie había sido puesto todavía. 54 Era el día de la preparación(AW), y estaba para comenzar el día de reposo.
55 Y las mujeres que habían venido con Jesús desde Galilea(AX) siguieron detrás, y vieron el sepulcro y cómo fue colocado Su cuerpo. 56 Cuando regresaron, prepararon especias aromáticas y perfumes(AY).
Y en el día de reposo descansaron según el mandamiento(AZ).

Luke 23
King James Version
23 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, 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 Galilaean.
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, Today 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 veil 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 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 Arimathaea, 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.
55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
Luke 23
New King James Version
Jesus Handed Over to Pontius Pilate(A)
23 Then (B)the whole multitude of them arose and led Him to (C)Pilate. 2 And they began to (D)accuse Him, saying, “We found this fellow (E)perverting [a]the nation, and (F)forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying (G)that He Himself is Christ, a King.”
3 (H)Then Pilate asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
He answered him and said, “It is as you say.”
4 So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, (I)“I find no fault in this Man.”
5 But they were the more fierce, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from (J)Galilee to this place.”
Jesus Faces Herod
6 When Pilate heard [b]of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean. 7 And as soon as he knew that He belonged to (K)Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time. 8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, (L)he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because (M)he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him. 9 Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him (N)nothing. 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him. 11 (O)Then Herod, with his [c]men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate. 12 That very day (P)Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.
Taking the Place of Barabbas(Q)
13 (R)Then Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people, 14 said to them, (S)“You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, (T)having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him; 15 no, neither did Herod, for [d]I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him. 16 (U)I will therefore chastise Him and release Him” 17 (V)(for[e] it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast).
18 And (W)they all cried out at once, saying, “Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas”— 19 who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder.
20 Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them. 21 But they shouted, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!”
22 Then he said to them the third time, “Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go.”
23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men [f]and of the chief priests prevailed. 24 So (X)Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested. 25 (Y)And he released [g]to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
The King on a Cross(Z)
26 (AA)Now as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus.
27 And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned and lamented 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 (AB)For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!’ 30 Then they will begin (AC)‘to say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’ 31 (AD)For if they do these things in the green wood, what will be done in the dry?”
32 (AE)There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. 33 And (AF)when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left. 34 [h]Then Jesus said, “Father, (AG)forgive them, for (AH)they do not know what they do.”
And (AI)they divided His garments and cast lots. 35 And (AJ)the people stood looking on. But even the (AK)rulers with them sneered, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.”
36 The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him (AL)sour wine, 37 and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”
38 (AM)And an inscription also was [i]written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew:
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 (AN)Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, [j]“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 receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done (AO)nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said [k]to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”
43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in (AP)Paradise.”
Jesus Dies on the Cross(AQ)
44 (AR)Now it [l]was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45 Then the sun was [m]darkened, and (AS)the veil of the temple was torn in [n]two. 46 And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, (AT)‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’ ” (AU)Having said this, He breathed His last.
47 (AV)So when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous Man!”
48 And the whole crowd who came together to that sight, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned. 49 (AW)But all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
Jesus Buried in Joseph’s Tomb(AX)
50 (AY)Now behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man. 51 He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, (AZ)who[o] himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 (BA)Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before. 54 That day was (BB)the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.
55 And the women (BC)who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and (BD)they observed the tomb and how His body was laid. 56 Then they returned and (BE)prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath (BF)according to the commandment.
