| 23:1 | And rising up, all the multitude of them led Him before Pilate. |
| 23:2 | And they began to accuse Him, saying, We found this one perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be a king, Christ. |
| 23:3 | And Pilate questioned Him, saying, Are you the king of the Jews? And answering, him, He said, You say it . |
| 23:4 | And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, I find nothing blameable in this man. |
| 23:5 | But they insisted, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to here. |
| 23:6 | And hearing Galilee, Pilate asked if the man is a Galilean. |
| 23:7 | And knowing that He is from Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him up to Herod, he also being in Jerusalem in these days. |
| 23:8 | And seeing Jesus, Herod greatly rejoiced, for he was wishing to see Him for a long time, because of hearing many things about Him. And he hoped to see some miracle being brought about by Him. |
| 23:9 | And he questioned Him in many words. But He answered him not a thing. |
| 23:10 | And the chief priests and the scribes stood fiercely accusing Him. |
| 23:11 | And having humiliated Him with his soldiery, and mocking Him by putting around Him luxurious clothing, Herod sent Him back to Pilate. |
| 23:12 | And on that same day, both Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for before they were at enmity between themselves. |
| 23:13 | And having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, |
| 23:14 | Pilate said to them, You brought this man to me as perverting the people. And, behold, examining him before you, I found nothing blameable in this man regarding that which you charge against him. |
| 23:15 | But neither did Herod, for I sent you up to him; and, behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him. |
| 23:16 | Therefore chastising him, I will release him . |
| 23:17 | And he had to release to them one at the Feast. |
| 23:18 | And they all together shouted, saying, Take this one, and release Barabbas to us |
| 23:19 | ( he who was thrown into prison due to some revolt and murder occurring in the city .) |
| 23:20 | Then Pilate again called out, desiring to release Jesus. |
| 23:21 | But they shouted, saying, Crucify! Crucify him! |
| 23:22 | And a third time he said to them, For what evil did this one do? I found no cause of death in him. Therefore, chastising him, I will release him . |
| 23:23 | But with loud voices they insisted, asking for Him to be crucified. And their voices, and that of the chief priests, prevailed. |
| 23:24 | And Pilate adjudged their request to be done. |
| 23:25 | And he released to them the one thrown into prison due to revolt and murder, whom they asked. But he delivered Jesus to their will. |
| 23:26 | And as they led Him away, having laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from a field, they put the cross on him, to bear it behind Jesus. |
| 23:27 | And a great multitude of people were following Him, and of women who also were bewailing and lamenting Him. |
| 23:28 | And turning to them, Jesus said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over Me, but weep over yourselves and over your children. |
| 23:29 | For behold, days will come in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that did not bear, and breasts that did not suckle. |
| 23:30 | "Then they will begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! And to the hills, Cover us!" Hosea 10:8 |
| 23:31 | For if they do these things in the green tree, what may take place in the dry? |
| 23:32 | And two others, two criminals, were led with Him to be put to death. |
| 23:33 | And when they came on the place being called Skull, they crucified Him and the criminals there, one on the right, and one on the left. |
| 23:34 | And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. And dividing His garments, they cast a lot. Psa. 22:18 |
| 23:35 | And the people stood watching. And the rulers with them also scoffed, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this one is the Christ, the elect of God. |
| 23:36 | And coming near, the soldiers also mocked Him and were offering vinegar to Him, |
| 23:37 | and saying, If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself. |
| 23:38 | And also an inscription was written over Him, in Greek and Latin and Hebrew letters: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
| 23:39 | And one of the hanged criminals blasphemed Him, saying, If you are the Christ, save yourself and us. |
| 23:40 | But answering, the other rebuked him, saying, Do you not fear God, for you are in the same judgment? |
| 23:41 | And we indeed justly, for we receive things worthy of what we did. But this One did nothing wrong. |
| 23:42 | And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when You come in Your kingdom. |
| 23:43 | And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise. |
| 23:44 | And it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour. |
| 23:45 | And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the Holy Place was torn in the middle. |
| 23:46 | And crying with a loud voice, Jesus said, Father, "into Your hands I commit My spirit." And saying this, He breathed out the spirit. Psa. 31:5 |
| 23:47 | And seeing the thing happening, the centurion glorified God, saying, Truly, this Man was righteous. |
| 23:48 | And all the crowd arriving together at this sight, watching the thing happening, beating their breasts, they returned. |
| 23:49 | And all those known to Him stood at a distance, and the women, those who accompanied Him from Galilee, were seeing these things. |
| 23:50 | And, behold, a man named Joseph, being a councillor, a good and righteous man. |
| 23:51 | This one was not assenting to their counsel and deed ( he was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews), and who himself was eagerly expecting the kingdom of God, |
| 23:52 | coming near to Pilate, this one asked for the body of Jesus. |
| 23:53 | And taking it down, he wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a quarried tomb, where no one was ever yet laid. |
| 23:54 | And it was Preparation Day, and a sabbath was coming on. |
| 23:55 | And also women were following, who were accompanying Him out of Galilee, who watched the tomb, and how His body was placed. |
| 23:56 | And returning, they prepared spices and ointment. And indeed they rested on the sabbath, according to the commandment. |
