Lukas 23
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Jesus förhörs av Pilatus
23 Sedan förde hela rådet Jesus till landshövdingen Pilatus.
2 De började omedelbart anklaga honom och säga: Den här mannen hetsar upp vårt folk genom att säga att de inte ska betala skatt till den romerska staten och genom att påstå att han är vår Messias och kung.
3 Då frågade Pilatus honom: Stämmer det? Är du deras kung? Ja, svarade Jesus, du själv säger det.
4 Då vände sig Pilatus till översteprästerna och till folket och sa: Jag kan inte finna den här mannen skyldig till något brott.
5 Då blev de alldeles vilda och ropade: Men han gör uppror mot staten överallt där han går fram, i hela landet från Galileen till Jerusalem.
Jesus inför Herodes
6 Är han från Galileen? frågade Pilatus.
7 När de svarade ja skickade Pilatus honom till kung Herodes. Galileen lydde nämligen under Herodes, och han råkade vara i Jerusalem just då.
8 Herodes blev glad över att få tillfälle att träffa Jesus. Han hade nämligen hört mycket om honom och hade hoppats att få se honom göra ett under.
9 Han ställde fråga på fråga till Jesus, men Jesus svarade honom inte.
10 Under tiden stod översteprästerna och de religiösa ledarna vid sidan om, och de fortsatte med sina våldsamma anklagelser.
11 Till slut började Herodes och hans soldater att håna och förlöjliga Jesus. Sedan satte de på honom en kunglig mantel och skickade honom tillbaka till Pilatus.
12 Den dagen blev Herodes och Pilatus vänner med varandra. Tidigare hade de varit fiender.
Pilatus utlämnar Jesus till att korsfästas
13 Sedan kallade Pilatus samman översteprästerna, de judiska ledarna och folket
14 och tillkännagav sin dom:Ni har fört den här mannen till mig och anklagat honom för att leda ett uppror mot den romerska staten. Jag har noga förhört honom om detta, och finner honom oskyldig.
15 Herodes har kommit till samma slutsats och har sänt honom tillbaka till oss. Ingenting som den här mannen har gjort ger anledning till dödsstraff.
16 Därför ska jag låta piska honom och sedan släppa honom fri.
17-18 Då började folkhopen vråla och skrika, och alla ropade med en mun: Döda honom, och släpp Barabbas lös åt oss!
19 (Barabbas satt fängslad för mord och för att ha lett ett uppror i Jerusalem.)
20 Än en gång försökte Pilatus att diskutera med dem, för han ville gärna släppa Jesus.
21 Men de ropade: Korsfäst honom, korsfäst honom!
22 Ytterligare en gång, för tredje gången, frågade han: Varför det? Vad har han gjort? Jag har inte funnit några skäl att döma honom till döden. Jag kommer därför att piska honom och låta honom gå.
23 Men de ropade ännu högre att Jesus måste dö. Deras vilda rop fick Pilatus att till slut ge med sig.
24 Han dömde Jesus till döden som de krävde,
25 och på deras begäran frigav han i stället Barabbas, som var anklagad för uppror och mord. Men Jesus överlämnade han åt dem, så att de kunde göra vad de ville med honom.
Jesus förs bort för att korsfästas
26 På vägen till avrättningsplatsen mötte folkhopen Simon från Kyrene, som just var på väg till Jerusalem från landsbygden. Honom tvingade de att gå med och bära Jesu kors.
27 Stora skaror följde efter Jesus till avrättningen, bland dem många förtvivlade och gråtande kvinnor.
28 Till dem vände sig Jesus om och sa: Jerusalems döttrar! Gråt inte över mig, utan över er själva och era barn.
29 Det kommer en tid, när de kvinnor som inte har några barn ska räknas som lyckliga.
30 Då ska människorna längta efter att bergen begraver dem och att höjderna gömmer dem.
31 För om den oskyldige måste lida så mycket, vad kan då inte de skyldiga vänta sig?
Jesus blir korsfäst
32-33 Två andra brottslingar leddes också ut för att avrättas tillsammans med Jesus på en plats som kallades Skallen. Där korsfästes de alla tre, Jesus på korset i mitten och de två brottslingarna på var sin sida om honom.
34 Far, förlåt dessa människor, bad Jesus, för de vet inte vad de gör.Under tiden kastade soldaterna tärning om hans kläder och delade dem emellan sig.
35 Folkhopen stod och tittade på, och de judiska ledarna skrattade och hånade honom. Han var bra på att hjälpa andra, sa de. Nu kan han hjälpa sig själv, om han verkligen är den Messias som Gud sänt.
36 Också soldaterna hånade honom och räckte honom surt vin att dricka.
37 Och de ropade till honom: Om du är judarnas kung, så rädda dig själv!
38 Man hade nämligen satt upp en skylt upptill på korset. DETTA ÄR JUDARNAS KUNG, stod det på grekiska, latin och hebreiska.
39 En av de brottslingar, som hängde vid sidan av Jesus, gjorde narr av honom och sa: Är det du som är Messias? Bevisa det då genom att rädda dig själv och oss på samma gång!
40-41 Men den andre brottslingen tillrättavisade honom och sa: Har du inte respekt för Gud ens när du håller på att dö? Vi förtjänar att dö för våra brott, men den här mannen har inte gjort en enda ond handling.
42 Sedan sa han: Jesus, kom ihåg mig när du kommer till ditt rike.
43 Och Jesus svarade: Jag försäkrar dig att redan i dag ska du vara med mig i paradiset.
Jesus dör på korset
44 Det var nu mitt på dagen, och under tre timmar blev det mörkt över hela landet fram till klockan tre.
45 Solen var helt förmörkad, och plötsligt brast det tjocka förhänget, som hängde i templet, mitt itu, uppifrån och ända ner.
46 Då ropade Jesus: Far, till dig lämnar jag min ande, och med de orden dog han.
47 När kaptenen för den romerska militärpluton, som hade hand om avrättningarna, såg vad som hänt, ärade han Gud och sa: Jag är övertygad om att den här mannen var oskyldig.
48 Och när folket, som hade varit åskådare till korsfästelsen, såg att Jesus var död, gick de hem förfärade.
49 Men under tiden stod alla hans vänner tillsammans med kvinnorna, som hade följt med honom från Galileen, på avstånd och såg alltsammans.
Jesus begravs
50-52 En man, som hette Josef, och som kom från Arimataia, en stad i Judeen, vände sig sedan till Pilatus och bad om att få ta hand om Jesu kropp. Han var medlem av den judiska högsta domstolen och en gudfruktig man, som hela tiden hade väntat på att Messias skulle komma, och han tog avstånd från de andra judiska ledarnas beslut och handlingar.
53 Han tog ner Jesu kropp från korset och lindade in den i en lång linnesvepning och lade den i en ny, oanvänd grav, som var uthuggen i en klippa.
54 Detta skedde sent på fredagseftermiddagen, just innan sabbaten skulle börja.
55 Kvinnorna från Galileen följde efter honom och såg hur han lade kroppen i graven.
56 Sedan gick de hem och gjorde i ordning välluktande kryddor och oljor för att balsamera honom. Men när solen gick ner och det blev sabbat höll de sig stilla i enlighet med den judiska lagens bestämmelser.
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
American Standard Version
23 And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate. 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 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 Judaea, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place. 6 But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean. 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 [a]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 [b]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.[c] 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 [d]The skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left. 34 [e]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 [f]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 [g]land until the ninth hour, 45 [h]the sun’s light failing: and the veil of the [i]temple was rent in the midst. 46 [j]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 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 [k]drew on. 55 And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid. 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments.
And on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
