Luke 23

1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him to Pilate.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, You say it.
Compare verse
4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
Compare verse
5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
Compare verse
6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
Compare verse
7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
Compare verse
10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
Compare verse
11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nothing, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
Compare verse
12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
Compare verse
13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
Compare verse
14 Said to them, You have brought this man to me, as one that perverts the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof you accuse him:
Compare verse
15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, see, nothing worthy of death is done to him.
Compare verse
16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
Compare verse
17 (For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.)
Compare verse
18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas:
Compare verse
19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
Compare verse
20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them.
Compare verse
21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
Compare verse
22 And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil has he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
Compare verse
25 And he released to them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
Compare verse
26 And as they led him away, they laid hold on one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
Compare verse
27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
Compare verse
28 But Jesus turning to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
Compare verse
29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which never gave suck.
Compare verse
30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
Compare verse
31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
Compare verse
32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
Compare verse
37 And saying, If you be the king of the Jews, save yourself.
Compare verse
38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Compare verse
39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If you be Christ, save yourself and us.
Compare verse
40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Do not you fear God, seeing you are in the same condemnation?
Compare verse
41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man has done nothing amiss.
Compare verse
42 And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.
Compare verse
43 And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, To day shall you be with me in paradise.
Compare verse
44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
Compare verse
45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the middle.
Compare verse
46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
Compare verse
47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
Compare verse
48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
Compare verse
49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
Compare verse
50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor; and he was a good man, and a just:
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
52 This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
Compare verse
53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
Compare verse
54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
Compare verse
55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.
Compare verse
56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
