{Luke 23:1} And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:2} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:3} And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest [it. ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:4} Then said Pilate to the chief priests and [to] the people, I find no fault in this man. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:5} And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:6} When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:7} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:8} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:9} Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:10} And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:11} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:12} And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:13} And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:14} 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: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:15} No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:16} I will therefore chastise him, and release [him. ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:17} (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:18} And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this [man,] and release unto us Barabbas: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:19} (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:20} Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:21} But they cried, saying, Crucify [him,] crucify him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:22} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:23} And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:24} And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:25} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:26} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:27} And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:28} But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:29} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:30} Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:31} For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:32} And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:33} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:34} Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:35} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:36} And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:37} And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:38} And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:39} And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:40} But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:41} And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:42} And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:43} And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:44} And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:45} And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:46} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:47} Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:48} And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:49} And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:50} And, behold, [there was] a man named Joseph, a counsellor; [and he was] a good man, and a just: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:51} (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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:52} This [man] went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:53} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:54} And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:55} And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Luke 23:56} And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
