Lukas 23

¹And the whole multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate.
²And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this [ergänzt: man] perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.
³And Pilate demanded of him saying, Art *thou* the king of the Jews? And he answering him said, Thou sayest.
⁴And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, I find no guilt in this man.
⁵But they insisted, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee even on to here.
⁶But Pilate, having heard Galilee [ergänzt: named], demanded if the man were a Galilaean;
⁷and having learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, remitted him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.
⁸And when Herod saw Jesus he greatly rejoiced, for he had been a long while desirous of seeing him, because of hearing many things concerning him, and he hoped to see some sign done by him;
⁹and he questioned him in many words, but *he* answered him nothing.
¹⁰And the chief priests and the scribes stood and accused him violently.
¹¹And Herod with his troops having set him at nought and mocked him, having put a splendid robe upon him, sent him back to Pilate.
¹²And Pilate and Herod became friends with one another the same day, for they had been at enmity before between themselves.
¹³And Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
¹⁴said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people [ergänzt: to rebellion], and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;
¹⁵nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.
¹⁶Having chastised him therefore, I will release him.
¹⁷( Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.)
¹⁸But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this [ergänzt: man] and release Barabbas to us;
¹⁹who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and [ergänzt: for] murder, had been cast into prison.
²⁰Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed [ergänzt: them].
²¹But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.
²²And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this [ergänzt: man] done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.
²³But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices [ergänzt: and those of the chief priests] prevailed.
²⁴And Pilate adjudged that what they begged should take place.
²⁵And he released him who, for tumult and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they begged for, and Jesus he delivered up to their will.
²⁶And as they led him away, they laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, and put the cross upon him to bear it behind Jesus.
²⁷And a great multitude of the people, and of women who wailed and lamented him, followed him.
²⁸And Jesus turning round to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me, but weep over yourselves and over your children;
²⁹for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed [ergänzt: are] the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck.
³⁰Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us:
³¹for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?
³²Now two others also, malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.
³³And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.
³⁴And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.
³⁵And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also [ergänzt: with them] sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.
³⁶And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,
³⁷and saying, If *thou* be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
³⁸And there was also an inscription [ergänzt: written] over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.
³⁹Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.
⁴⁰But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost *thou* too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?
⁴¹and *we* indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this [ergänzt: man] has done nothing amiss.
⁴²And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [ergänzt: Lord,] when thou comest in thy kingdom.
⁴³And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
⁴⁴And it was about [ergänzt: the] sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until [ergänzt: the] ninth hour.
⁴⁵And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple rent in the midst.
⁴⁶And Jesus, having cried with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, he expired.
⁴⁷Now the centurion, seeing what took place, glorified God, saying, In very deed this man was just.
⁴⁸And all the crowds who had come together to that sight, having seen the things that took place, returned, beating [ergänzt: their] breasts.
⁴⁹And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.
⁵⁰And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good man and a just
⁵¹(this [ergänzt: man] had not assented to their counsel and deed), of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who also waited, [ergänzt: himself also,] for the kingdom of God
⁵²-- he having gone to Pilate begged the body of Jesus;
⁵³and having taken it down, wrapped it in fine linen and placed him in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no one had ever been laid.
